When should I hire a wedding planner?
A fantastic question to ask. With an amazingly simple answer. Whenever you feel ready!
There are no set rules or indeed rule book, that says you have to hire a wedding planner at the beginning of your wedding planning journey.
In fact, many couples often hire a wedding planner when they realise that there is so much more to planning their wedding than initially thought.
When should I hire a wedding planner is therefore your call.
As a friendly, down to earth, wedding planner many of my couples have already either discovered their perfect wedding venue or booked their private marquee.
But with the logistics and meticulous planning it takes to organise a wedding this swiftly becomes a stark reality. The wedding administration (or wedmin as it is affectionately known as in the industry) alone is enormously time consuming.
An experienced and passionate wedding planner though delights in the spreadsheets and logistics. To ensure a couples wedding day, or wedding weekend, is impeccably planned. Perfectly executed and seamlessly run.
Did you know that it can take around 250 hours to plan your wedding? With today’s longer working hours it’s not surprising then that couples struggle to find the additional hours to plan their special day.
With such an important celebration in your lives. You don’t want to look back and wish you’d done things differently.
Many couples often rely upon family and friends to help, especially on the day itself. This sounds great, but the reality is more often than not, vastly different. With assigned jobs often forgotten as they have, quite understandably, got caught up in the excitement of the day. They want to be there as your guest.
