Wedding planning distracts you from all of the wonderful, enjoyable things about getting married. Planning takes a lot of time and effort resulting in stress and emotions running wild.

A wedding planner will take care of all the details of your wedding day, allowing you to enjoy the fun parts, whilst saving you precious time, freeing you of stress and keeping you sane!

So, just what are the benefits? What will a wedding planner do for me?  below are some of the important roles of a professional wedding planner.

The Time Saver

Wedding planners will save you a huge amount of time. The average bride spends around 10 hours per week planning her big day! Imagine all of the extra things you could be doing with those 10 hours!

The Money Saver

A wedding planner will save you money by negotiating contracts on your behalf, helping you to manage your wedding budget and suggesting cheaper alternatives.

The Connector

Wedding planners know which suppliers are reputable and the ones that are not, as well as recommending suppliers who are right for your style and budget.

The Advisor

Wedding planners have the knowledge and expertise to advise you on all things related to weddings.

The Problem Solver

A wedding planner will deal with problems that you don’t want to deal with on your big day, solving last-minute issues and having a back up plan in place, giving you piece of mind.

The Logistics and Timings Coordinator 

Confirming details, timings and managing logistics – things you don’t want to deal with in the lead up to your wedding and on the day itself.

The Correspondence Manager 

A wedding planner will manage all communication and paperwork, ensuring that all the contracts, invoices, and payments get signed and delivered on time.

The Decision Maker

When you are procrastinating and finding it difficult to make a decision, your wedding planner will be objective and weigh up the pros and cons.

The Inspirer

A wedding planner will inspire you and come up with creative ideas for a wedding theme and styling elements.

Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming experience and hiring a professional wedding planner can be one of the best steps to take. They will become your best friend throughout the planning process. Wedding planners are not only for the rich and famous, they cater for all types of budgets and sizes. They can make a big difference and can be the most cost-effective move in the end. A wedding planner is a great support system and one of the most important things they can do for you, is provide you with peace of mind, which is absolutely priceless!
