We are all about wedding planning & events โฆ.
Planning your wedding sounds like the dream job youโve been waiting for, right? While it can be fun,
there are a lot of issues and stressful situations that can arise with wedding planning
so, here are a reasons why you need space wedding planner
1. Time
Between your 10-hour work days, fiancรฉ, family, the list goes on, researching vendors and dealing with the 100s of additional emails you will be receiving is something you just donโt have time for! A full-service wedding planner will eliminate all of the research, emails, phone calls back and forth between the many, many vendors, and only present to you the top options meeting your criteria.|
2. Budget
You have an idea of how much youโre comfortable spending, but have no idea how it all breaks down. Math! An experienced wedding planner can take your number of guests, and provide a suggested budget breakdown of how much funds should be allocated to each category. An exceptional wedding planner will then listen to you (the client!) and determine what needs to be increased/decreased based on your must-haves. As planning progresses, the planner should provide budget updates and also seek ways to give you the most bang for your buck, if needed.
3. Vendor Recommendations
Wedding planners work with many vendors. They can suggest vendors who they know have done stellar jobs, as well as ones they know will be within budget. Some brides and grooms might be concerned that wedding planners are being compensated or receiving โkick-backsโ for recommending certain vendors. While there may be some planners who do accept referral fees, at SRS Events, we do not receive any sort of vendor compensation, so you can be assured the vendors recommended are truly due to their excellent services.
4. Timeline
You know what you want to happen during your wedding day, but you donโt know how much time to allocate for each event or activity. A wedding planner will be able to take your overarching vision, and create a realistic timeline that will then be shared with all vendors and wedding party, so everyone is on the same page. If there are questions or issues, your wedding planner will be listed as the contact, so you do not have to deal with a barrage of phone calls.
5. Details
A wedding planner is detail-oriented and organized. Your planner will think-thru all events and what's needed to make them a success.
6. Onsite
Aside from the vendor research and bookings, one of the other main reasons brides and grooms hire a wedding planner is for onsite peace of mind. The bride can sip mimosas with her bridesmaids and the groom might indulge in a Scotch, all while not having to worry about the seating cards and ensuring the candy bar is set up, as the wedding planner has got it all handled.
7. Ideas
Maybe you have a Pinterest full of wedding inspiration or you just have no idea where to start, except for maybe knowing you want blush as a wedding color or peonies in your bouquet. A wedding planner can take your inspiration and suggest budget-friendly ways to bring it to life. Or, the planner can help craft the bride's and groomโs vision for the day.
8. Problem solving
Alanis sang it best, a brideโs most dreaded phrase: โItโs like rain, on your wedding day.โ You have the most amazing outdoor wedding and reception planned, but Al Roker is calling for rain. A wedding planner will have anticipated this, and will have a tent company on stand-by to come in and tent the area. Or, the wedding planner is at the venue days before your wedding working with the venue coordinator on alternative options to still ensure the bride and groom have a worry-free, beautiful day.
There you have it--just some of the reasons why hiring a wedding planner will be one of the best decisions you make!
