Ten Reasons Why You Should Hire

A Wedding Planner

 
So, you think wedding planners are only for celebrities and rich people right? Think again! Here's the best 10 reasons why you should hire a wedding planner right now.
 
1. You want everything to be perfect.
 
It takes a lot of time and hard work to pull together perfect. The more often you do it, the better you get at it. But you've never done this before right? Well, we've been doing it for more than 12 years ... that makes us really really good at working with you to pull together your perfect wedding. We know the right people to talk to, how to get the best prices, what all that contract stuff means, and how to ensure that every single detail is perfect on your big day. All you have to do is let us do the hard work for you!
 
 
2. You want someone to manage your budget.
 
Money is one of the hardest aspects of planning your wedding. Whose paying, how much, when can you get access to the money and how do you ensure you don't spend too much of it? It's one of the biggest sources of tension in a relationship, and never more so than when it comes to a wedding. Your wedding planner is like a financial adviser or an accountant who specialises in weddings. We know how much things should cost, roughly what percentage of your budget will be spent in each area, whether you are getting a good deal on something or not, and when payments will need to be made in order to secure services or products. If you fall in love with something specific and just have to have it, we can show you how to compromise on other things in your budget so that you can afford it, without losing out on your overall vision. No matter whether you have a little money, or a lot of money, a wedding planner will ensure you get the best value for each dollar you spend.
 
 
3. You don't want to spend your engagement stressing about how to make everything perfect.
 
Whether your engagement is long or short, you want to enjoy every moment of that special time with your dream man, not turn into some neurotic Bridezilla who can't sleep, can't eat, can't work and is constantly stressing about how much work there is to be done, money is being spent and how little help you have. Stop it right now! Hand all that stress over to our expert hands so that you can get back to being the wonderful woman your fiancé fell in love with. We'll take all that stress away and ensure that your every wish is taken care of and all you have to worry about is taking care of yourself and enjoying your engagement.
 
 
4. You don't want to spend hours finding suppliers and trying to figure out who is trustworthy.
 
Have you started trying to find your suppliers yet? Are you bewildered about how many there are, confused about what each one offers, baffled by the opposing reviews on websites and just plain don't know who to trust with your money? We know the answers to all of these and more. We work with a wide selection of people who love putting together wonderful weddings. We know how to get the best prices, and the best results from each of them. And even if we have to use a new supplier, we know how to find the best one for your style and price. We'll put together your wedding dream team to pull together a wedding that is definitely more than the sum of it's parts, will leave your guests thinking you spent way more than you did, and allow you to relax knowing that you got exactly what you wanted without any of the hassles of spending hours trying to figure it all out for yourself.
 
 
5. You don't want to worry about the details or missing any deadlines such as payment dates.
 
Have you seen the wedding checklists that are out there? Some of them are 10 pages long! Believe it or not, we love a good checklist. But that doesn't mean you have to ever even see one. We'll keep track of all the deadlines and remind you about what needs to be done when; from ordering your flowers to paying deposits and advising final details. Nothing will ever be missed, and there's no danger that something won't turn up on the day because of this.
 
 
6. You both work and you don't want wedding planning to take over your life.
 
Planning a wedding takes a lot of time, even more if you do everything yourself. Are you prepared to give up nights out, weekends away, time with your friends, your favourite TV show, or time to yourself? Having a wedding planner is like having a personal assistant whose sole responsibility is doing all the running around when it comes to organising your wedding. It will save you mountains of time which you can spend doing the things you already love doing.
 
 
7. You have a great venue coordinator but they don't take care of any of the other details.
 
You've already found your venue and you get on really well with the venue co-ordinator. She's great and has got everything under control, she's even given you a recommended list of suppliers that they work with. But keep in mind, that's all she'll do for you. She won't manage your budget, mediate disputes with your family, tell you what flowers are in season on your wedding date, take you to meet the other suppliers, research prices, negotiate contracts or any other of the many things that a wedding planner will do for you. Imagine in an office situation that the venue co-ordinator is like the receptionist. She does a few specific things like answering phones, opening mail, accepting deliveries and directs these to other departments to deal with. On the other hand a personal assistant does everything that you ask them to. Want your own personal assistant dedicated to organising your wedding, then get a wedding planner.
 
 
8. You need some inspiration and help making your vision a reality.
 
No matter whether you know exactly what you want, have a vague idea, or no idea at all, a wedding planner can help you define exactly the look, style, mood and emotions you want to create and bring it to life. We are surrounded by weddings all day every day, we know what the latest trends are, and what all those traditions mean. We know what will work in a venue and what won't, create any mood from intimate to wild parties and all the other little details that make up the big picture. Making use of our expertise will ensure you end up with a wedding celebration that is remembered for all the right reasons.
 
 
 9.Your friends and family are driving you mad with their demands, and you want to stop them from taking over.
 
Does your family have expectations about the type of wedding you should be having that are different from what you actually want? This can be really difficult to deal with and cause a lot of stress for you. It's pretty hard to say 'no way am I doing that' to your Mum. But, how much easier would it be to say 'the wedding planner says that we need to do it this way to make it work'? We can help you deal with your family expectations, show you the options that are available and be relied upon to give you expert advice that ensures you get what you want, not what others expect.
 
 
10. You're planning a wedding somewhere other than where you live.
 
Whether you live away from your family and are coming back to your home town to get married, live abroad and are coming back to Australia, or heading off for a destination wedding, it's difficult to organise a wedding, even a small one, when you're not actually there. We've done it many times and figured out all the tricks and secrets to successfully organising a great wedding from afar, and we want to share all our secrets with you!
 
 
The truth is, planning a wedding takes a lot of time, energy and focus. Sure, some bits of it are fun and exciting, but then there's the endless research, details to remember, payments to make and so on which aren't so much fun but are very necessary. Using one of our wedding planners means you're in control. It's definitely your day, your way, but you have a specialist working on your behalf to do the legwork, reduce your stress and ensure every detail is your kind of perfect. Who doesn't want that?
