advice: wedding planners
On your wedding day, you can either
be the bride or the wedding planner - it's very difficult to be both. Here are
some advantages of hiring a professional for your event.
~ When time is of the essence, a wedding
planner may have staff members on call to help word invitations, assemble favors
&
coordinate the activities of vendors.
~ Managing your budget is critical. A
professional can help you create a look that seems expensive but really isn't.
In addition, he or she may have relationships with vendors & be able to
obtain discounts to help stretch your dollar even further.
~ Etiquette at a wedding is more difficult to
understand these days. He or she will also be a valuable resource for
maintaining protocol for seating, photography and more.
~ A wedding planner will free up more of your
time so you can enjoy the months leading up to your wedding. He or she can
handle the details, allowing you to relax a bit more.
~ On the day of your wedding, many things need
to be executed in a timely fashion, such as limousine arrival, ceremony, photos
and travel to your reception site. A wedding planner can manage these details,
taking the burden off you.
Remember
that a consultant should have plenty of questions for you too, in an effort to
determine your wishes, needs, level of maintenance, budget, scope of
imagination, and more. You're both trying to assess each other and how well
you'll work together. The consultant will probably initiate discussions -- take
this time to consider their manner, personality, confidence, and warmth.
