The Benefits of Hiring a Wedding Planner

Planning a wedding can be a stressful time. Tempers can flare and emotions run high. This is meant to be the most memorable day for the bride and groom; and not for all the wrong reasons. Hiring a wedding planner can help with that, in more ways than one.

The main benefit of having a wedding consultant to help plan the big day is that she is able to make notes and find out exactly what the bride and groom are dreaming off. Mixed with the budget, she is then able to offer suggestions as ways to make those dreams become a reality. The wedding planner will know more about whether the dreams are possible or whether the budget needs to be expanded.

Help with the Wedding Budget

Weddings cost on average of £20,000, which is a lot of money. The bride and groom will need to work to put that money together and it can take time away from the 250 hours of wedding planning (on average) that needs to be done. However, having a professional will help to cut down on the time needed to plan. The wedding consultant is the extra pair of hands that couples need to make their big day something that they’ve dreamed of.

Good wedding planning helps with sticking to a budget, and a good wedding planner will make the dreams possible for less money. Planners have contacts to all the different vendors and will be able to negotiate a lower price, meaning more for the budget. She will also know more about the venues that the couple will look at, which offers more detail and recommendations about each one.

Help to Negotiate Difficult Situations

A wedding planner will also help to negotiate between the parents of the couple. Everybody wants a big role in the big day and parents can often forget that the day is about the couple and not them. This is when tempers start to flare and the couple can often become involved in heated discussions and arguments. Wedding consultants will be able to handle all of that instead and help to be a mediator between the parents.

A good wedding planner will not take over the whole day. Instead, she will offer suggestions and advice to the bride and groom so they can make the final decisions. Most of the time, the couple will forget about something and the planner will be there to offer help when needed. She will also be there to remind the bride or groom of any meetings or bookings that they need to attend to.
