Creating the perfect wedding is not as easy as the guide books would have you believe. They don't take into account that you have to work full time, attend classes, have family obligations and must still attend to your life in general while you take on this momentous task of planning a wedding.
At this point in the planning process, you are probably starting to realize that there is a lot to do and very time or resources to get it done. This is the point where you may want to enlist the help of a good wedding planner.
So many brides tell me that they don't need a wedding planner; they have enough friends and family to help out. That may be true, but what if they don't want to help, or have their own life issues to deal with day to day? And what happens the day of the big event? Why should your mother worry about the caterer or the florist? Why can't she enjoy the day? Are you going to get down from the altar to attend to a lost limousine driver? Why does your personal attendant have to help you get ready, handle a wrong cake order and man the guest book table all at the same time? Isn't that depending on a friendship a little too much?
I understand that many people enjoy doing the wedding themselves, love making the decisions, and want to keep control. Hiring a wedding planner doesn't mean that you loose control, have any less input in the plans and it shouldn't mean that you have to stop wrapping ribbon around the invitations yourself; it simply means that you have hired someone to be a sounding a board, an idea gatherer, someone who knows the ins and outs of vendors, someone to handle the day's crisis, and someone who has your best interests at heart. In short, someone who wants your day to be as flawless as you do.
A good wedding planner will help and enhance, elevate your event and be there in the thick of it all, so that you, your friends and family can sit back and relax on your wedding day---a day that should be remembered as the special event that it is.
