Professional Knowledge 

As with most industry vendors, wedding planners are skilled professionals with intimate knowledge of the planning process. While you might know what you have in mind for your wedding vision, bringing the details to life is a different story. Planners know exactly what to look out for when booking vendors, scheduling rentals, and choosing the right location. A wedding planner helps to ensure you are making the right choice based on their previous experience. Your wedding planner can recommend the vendors that best suit your budget and specific style. They will advise you on costs you likely don’t know about and help realistically manage your budget. If you have delicate family or guest dynamics to consider, a wedding planner will help you navigate etiquette and traditions to ensure you are comfortable.

Communication

If you are planning a wedding, it is no secret that an abundance of emails and phone calls naturally result. A wedding planner will take care of all communication with your vendors in a timely and organized manner following a well-planned workflow. They know the right questions to ask, making each meeting worthwhile. Since many couples work with their wedding planner a year or more in advance, your planner knows your preferences and requirements. Vendors will ask questions such as, ‘Where are the outlets at the venue?’ or ‘Where is the load-in zone?’. These are questions that you might not have all of the answers to. Your wedding planner will know these important details to provide your wedding team with.
