Hiring a wedding planner sounds like an unnecessary expense, but actually, they might save your sanity as well as your relationship.

Weddings! Yikes!

Wedding ceremonies and receptions are chaotic to plan. They are expensive. You will feel like this is the most important decision in your life so you must get every single thing perfect. But you don’t have to get everything absolutely perfect.

So, here is how you get it done right.

Hire a Wedding Planner

Planning a wedding is something that is not as fun as you thought it was. Actually, it is a bit of a nightmare. Every person you know, and some you have never met before in your life, will tell you exactly what you need to do. To make matters worse, if you don’t do it the way they want you to do it they’ll be hurt. If you hurt a stranger’s feelings, that’s sad. But when it is Grandma. Oh, boy.

The way around the nightmare is to hire a wedding planner. This is a person who knows wedding ceremonies and receptions like nobody else. Your planner will tell you about things you never heard of before. This is a person who has a list and asks you many questions. Then sketches it all out, gets your approval, makes adjustments, lines up vendors and boom! Your wedding is done. Haha, not quite.

Tragedy Strikes

Your planner will probably warn you that always, always, always something will go horribly wrong! Your 6″ shoe heel will break off just before going down the aisle. Your caterer made the wrong menu. It rained and your back up place is locked – you and 500 guests can’t get in! There is always some tragedy that happens. But when you hire a wedding planner they jump right in, wave a magic wand over every single incident and save the day.

You won’t even know all that your wedding planner is doing for you because they take care of things and tell you later – after your big day.

It is the wedding planner’s duty to save the day – over and over – shielding you from all of it. And they keep Aunty Alice and your soon-to-be mother-in-law muted. That is worth every penny you paid right there.
