I wish I could wave a magic wand and introduce all brides to wedding planning. Leaving the fates to the "wedding gods" doesn't seem to quite work very well when planning an event for so many people.
I have had quite a few comments from viewers telling me that their wedding went off without a hitch and they didn't have a wedding planner. That is great, but what they don't know about is all of the people that did the behind the scenes work to make their wedding turn out so well.
The DJ that has to go the extra mile to make sure that the toasts are accomplished and the reception carries on. The hotel coordinator that is exhausted at the end of the evening because she had to run all over creation tracking down your vendors. Your mother who didn't get to visit with her out of state cousin that she hasn't seen in so long because she was busy in the kitchen with the caterer. The maid of honor that didn't get to dance with her husband because she was so busy making sure that you had everything that you needed all night. The father who didn't get to bask in the joy of his daughter's wedding because he was busy tracking down the circuit breaker that kept tripping. And on and on it goes. You know because you have all been there in one way or another.
It takes a village to help a wedding of any size run smoothly. Thinking that you can do it all yourself or that you don't need any help is just foolish. Hiring someone to take care of all of this just makes good sense. You hire a CPA to do your taxes because you don't know the latest tax laws and you want to get the most money back that you can at the end of the year. You hire a lawyer to get you out of a jam because he or she knows all the loop holes. So it just makes sense to hire a professional who knows the ins and outs of events and how to execute them perfectly.
Of course, if you hire a professional and then don't them do their work....that is a whole other blog!
