Why Hire a
Wedding Planner?!
Congratulations! You
have been dreaming of this day for years!
The dress, the ring, the flowers, the food . . . and of course, the
groom! And now the time has
arrived. Planning a wedding involves
lots of elements and requires a lot of detail management. Much like the making of a movie, the wedding
has to be produced, scripted, edited and directed. And you get to be the star!! The star, however, cannot produce, edit,
direct and run interference for all of the details on the wedding day. As the one who can do these things, your
wedding planner is your most valuable asset!
Reason 1: We’re your
“go to” girls! Your wedding planner
brings the best of the best to the table.
While you are in the wedding zone for a year or so, your planner never
leaves it. We are familiar with venues
and vendors. We are constantly exposed to
and researching the newest wedding trends and ideas in the industry, as well as
being well versed in wedding etiquette and traditions.
Reason 2: Tie it up with a bow! Need someone to pull all of your ideas
together and make it into something fabulous that is uniquely yours? Someone who will incorporate your vision into
flowers, décor, and more? Let us help
with that! There are so many options
available to brides today that it can make your head spin. We won’t push our ideas on you. We are here to advise and assist you so that
your wants and desires become your reality!
Reason 3: Don’t break
the bank! Think you don’t have the extra money to hire a planner? Well, that may not be true. I don’t know how many times we’ve heard
“Wonderful Events was the best money we spent on this wedding.” Hiring a planner saves you time, stress and
money. We not only provide you a much
needed service, but we can sometimes save you money by negotiating contracts
with vendors and keep you on track with your wedding budget.
Reason 4: Frazzled is
not fabulous! You’ve probably watched enough
of those reality television shows to know that stress levels and tensions run
high during the wedding and the days leading up to it. We are your stress relievers. One mother, whose second child was getting
married, told us that she had learned her lesson the first time. Without a planner then, she was stressed
about the details and actually missed a very important moment with her
daughter. Please don’t let that
happen. Let us carry the weight of the
vast amount of details that accompany one of the biggest days in the life of
your family. Believe it or not, it’s actually
what we love to do!
Reason 5: Love will
keep us together! Please don’t ask your
friends and relatives to work on your wedding day! While you may have the best girlfriends,
aunts, sisters and mother ever, it really isn’t fair to ask them to do all the
work on your special day! They’ve
probably already gone above and beyond by attending showers and luncheons,
tying bows on favors, stuffing invitations, and the list could go on. Just let them enjoy the wedding bliss and dance
at the reception without a checklist of things to do.
Reason 6: Does anybody really know what time it
is? Let us create that timeline for you. One bride said “Who wants to think about these
boring things? I just want to get
married!” Actually, you might not get
married if the minister does not show up on time. Timelines for your wedding are critical
because everyone needs to know when to arrive and where to be. Otherwise, things could become extremely
disorganized, may not run smoothly and might even begin running behind. You really don’t want to still be taking
photographs when your guests begin arriving because you had to wait on that late
groomsman. Creating a schedule is
extremely important to creating a seamless day.
Reason 7: It’s an
Emergency! We don’t go anywhere without
our Wedding Day Emergency Kit! We really
hate to tell you this, but something may not go as planned on your wedding
day. A groomsman might forget his socks;
a bridesmaid might need a bobby pin; someone might have a headache; the florist
might not light the candles. Those
things just happen. We’ve seen it . . .
and we are prepared!! We’ve even super-glued a bridesmaid’s dress right before
she walked down the aisle that was torn by her heel during pictures. We
have a full-to-the-brim bag of everything imaginable. You’ll be glad we brought it along!
Reason 8: Meet in the
Middle! We are your middlemen
(women)! Instead of every vendor and
wedding party member coming to you or your mother with their questions,
concerns and suggestions, they can come to us and we will handle those for
you. Before your wedding, we sit down and
go over all of the intricate details
involved for that day. We are informed
and engaged in all aspects of the wedding weekend. For example: We recently arrived at a reception venue only
to learn from the caterer that that the champagne for the Bride and Groom’s
toast had not made it with the delivery. What to do?
We took care of it. We ran out, bought
a chilled bottle and no one ever knew.
What if that bride hadn’t hired us?
There would have been no champagne toast for that special couple.
Reason 9: Taking care
of business! Your venue will likely have
an event manager. Their job is to
oversee the wedding details related to their venue. And they do a great job. But keep in mind that 90% of the details of
your wedding do not involve the venue. The event manager is responsible for their
site and cannot be held accountable for the details of your wedding. We’re here to confirm everything arrives on
time and is completed to your satisfaction.
Reason 10: Mini-Me! Think of us that way. We are
an extension of you. When you decide to
hire a wedding planner, confirm that they offer a complimentary consultation. And use it!
Sit down and talk with them to make sure that they are a good fit as far
as personality and expectations. That
way, when your wedding day arrives you will have chosen the perfect planner for
your wonderful event!
Call us today! We would
love to serve you!
