Especially those 3 a.m. ones!

Once you’ve chosen a date, where you get married is the next most important choice. Your wedding planner can help you choose the venue and assist in giving you an overview of what you’ll need for each space you look at and how those items will look. Wedding planner come with a built in network of rental companies, floral designers, transportation contacts and suggestions of where to set up menu tastings. Well connected planners will save you hours of research.

Your vendors will be a huge part of your big day, so having a wedding planner to help you with what vendors to use will be very helpful.

A good wedding planner won’t leave you once the deals are done! They will also help you during your rehearsal. What is better than having someone else run the show, while you get to hug long-distance relatives and have the chance to enjoy yourself?! Your wedding planner will be there to show you how the ceremony will run on the big day.

At the end of the night, your planner will be there to help you pack up.

Your planner will take the lead on making sure everything gets packed up and makes it back to your family’s home or packed into your car after the party.

Perhaps the BEST part about having a wedding planner? If something goes wrong (it won’t!) everyone will run to your planner and not you, and they will intuitively know how to handle anything that might come up.

The right wedding planner will ensure you have a flawless wedding from start to finish!
