Many times we hear the term ‘wedding planner,’ and we wonder why we should add an additional cost to our wedding budget. Have you ever thought that a wedding planner can prove to be a lifesaver for the following reasons:

1. To save money | Weddings can become very expensive. By hiring a wedding planner, the couple can save a considerable amount of money. Wedding planners work with many professionals in the industry and can negotiate prices more effectively. They can also set strict budget limits and stick to them.
2. To save time | Planning a wedding takes a lot of time! A wedding planner will manage time efficiently, conduct all the research for the right professionals, and come up with unique ideas to make the wedding special.
3. For everyone to enjoy the wedding | On the wedding day, the wedding planner takes on all the responsibilities that would otherwise fall on family members. Often, every relative has a duty to perform, which prevents them from fully enjoying the day and being there for the couple. Everyone wants to equally enjoy the day!
4. For psychological support | Weddings can be very stressful! How many times has the couple argued not only among themselves but also with other family members, such as mothers and mothers-in-law? The wedding planner is there to protect these relationships and manage difficult situations.
5. For aesthetic decoration of the venue | A wedding planner has organized many weddings and knows what works and what doesn’t. With access to countless images on Pinterest and wedding blogs, it’s common for a bride to get confused and not know what to choose or what suits her best. Often, what someone sees on the internet may not easily apply to their own wedding due to the season, location, or budget. The role of the wedding planner is to create a concept that will work perfectly on the day and match the couple’s aesthetic.
6. They are ‘the person for everything’ | About twenty-two to twenty-five different professionals are involved in a wedding. It’s a large number, and together with the guests and family members, it can cause headaches for the couple. In such cases, the wedding planner takes care of communication with everyone and resolves any issues.
7. To stick to the schedule | Many professionals need to communicate and cooperate on the wedding day to achieve a perfect result. The wedding planner acts as the conductor and ensures that nothing goes wrong and that everything happens on time.
8. To handle the unexpected | Whether we like it or not, something or someone may not perform their role correctly on the wedding day. No one wants to see the bride in a panic because the cake wasn’t delivered or the flowers are withered. The wedding planner ensures that any issues are addressed before they become noticeable.
9. To be present from start to finish | The wedding planner is present from the beginning of the preparations until the end of the reception and takes care of those small details that no one thinks about. Seating guests, ensuring proper service during the meal, and even safe transportation to the reception venue.
10. For Destination Weddings | Organizing a wedding in a distant location from the couple’s residence or abroad requires extensive preparation. It can be quite challenging to coordinate so many professionals in a place the couple has never been to or where they don’t know anyone. A wedding planner with experience and established connections can make planning a destination wedding much easier.
