Our wedding guide continues with 6 BENEFITS OF HIRING A WEDDING PLANNER.
As a previous Bride, I do get the draw to plan your wedding yourself. However, there are some definite advantages to having a pro by your side. If you love planning parties and are a creative person, you can still have a large part in the planning process and leave some of the not so fun details to a wedding planner, or even just have a Day of Coordinator.
Here are some great reasons why hiring a planner for your wedding is the way to go:
You save time.
Life is busy. Think of how much time you have now to get together with friends or dive into your favorite hobby. How much time do you have?
If you’re like most people, there isn’t much left over after the daily needs are taken care of.
From choosing the venue to organising suppliers, professional wedding planners take care of all the hard work, allowing you and your partner to focus on other things-like celebrating your engagement!

2. You profit from their connections
Likely you are not involved in the wedding industry, so you’re trying to sift through all the vendors. It can be overwhelming to know who to choose. There are a plethora of reputable wedding vendors in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, but knowing who the right fit is for you can end up costing you valuable time and funds.
Leave it up to the Planner who has worked with different vendors, developed relationships and can negotiate prices for you. They will know who fits with your vision the best, and be able to provide you a smooth sailing day.

3. Details, details, details!
Inevitablly, there will be something you haven’t though of. A wedding planner makes sure that there is nothing overlooked. They take care of all the logistics such as scheduling, having backups in case things go wrong, handling everything down to the smallest detail, such as a spare hairpin. (Remember Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner??)

4. To understand your vision and ensure it is created.
A wedding planner is dedicated to bring your vision to life. They will be your spokesperson for other suppliers, caterers, florists, bartenders, etc to make sure that what you dreamt of in your head is exactly (or better) what you see on your big day.

5. Maximize your wedding budget in the best possible way
When a wedding planner is involved, you can be sure your money is being used in the best way possible to help your vision come true.
Their contacts from forming great working relationships allows them to not only know which supplier will be most efficient for your big day but also gives you the bonus of being able to attain discounts, and avoid making costly mistakes.

On your big day, you'll feel great knowing that your planner is taking command of the venue and vendors, coordinating logistics, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly. If any issues arise during the ceremony or reception, they'll be the first one on the scene-and you won't need to worry about anything except enjoying your special day with loved ones.
