1. You absolutely, without a doubt, need someone there to run the show on the big day.
After putting so much time, energy, and money into making sure every detail of your wedding is perfect, it is time to sit back and enjoy. Having a wedding consultant, even if you hire them for only day-of-coordination, will ensure you are able to enjoy all of the day’s festivities. You should consider: Who will be there to direct vendors as they arrive? Who will be there to make sure the placecards are in order? Who will be there to double // triple check every detail before your guests arrive? Hiring a wedding consultant can give you peace of mind that your wedding will come together as you envisioned -all you have to worry about is saying “I do”!
2. Paperwork, paperwork, & MORE PAPERWORK.
Timelines & vendor lists & layouts, OH MY! If this is your first wedding, which for most it probably is, you may not be aware of all of the paperwork it takes to make a wedding run smoothly. The most important of all is the timeline which details everything from when the bridal party will be having lunch to the arrival of the florist. This crucial piece of paperwork often takes hours and hours to compile and needs to be incredibly detailed and mistake-free. Timelines are usually requested by all of your vendors especially your venue & caterer. Luckily for you, wedding consultants have making a timeline down to a science and we are good at it. We will make sure to include the details that the non-experienced person may have overlooked.
3. It’s our job to be in-the-know.
Planning a wedding is definitely overwhelming, especially these days with so many bridal magazines, blogs, and Pinterest -it’s hard to sort through so many ideas and inspirations and figure out not only what you want, but also what is do-able. You can bring us just about any idea and we will know the proper vendors to put it together for you. Even if you are having trouble choosing a theme or have no time to do research of your own, it is our job to be up-to-date with inspiring new ideas to present to you.
4. Let’s talk about this small things called THE BUDGET.
The Budget: this pestky little thing that rules your wedding and probably the number one reason to get some help with planning. Wedding consultants have experience -we have a pretty good idea of how much every aspect of your wedding will cost and usually ways to make it less expensive. Their knowledge of budget management is essential and will help you make sure you don’t end up over your head.
5. Wedding consultants make good punching bags & shoulders to cry on.
It’s pretty much a guarantee that somewhere throughout your planning something will go wrong -the dimensions of your photo booth are too big for the elevator at your venue, the caterer isn’t able to get a necessary ingredient at the negotiated price, your venue somehow got double booked. It’s the job of the wedding consultant to solve these dilemmas with as little stress to you as possible. And, lucky for you, we can never hang-up the phone during a Bridezilla moment. What may be a wedding catastrophe if you were planning your wedding on your own is all in a day’s work for a resourceful wedding consultant.
