Have you been thinking about hiring a wedding day coordinator or a wedding planner but you're still on the fence? Here's some benefits you may not have considered:
Weddings are Literally Their JOB!
Trying to juggle your own busy schedule and plan a wedding is exhausting and stressful in its own right. Having a planner takes the pressure off of the couple. It gives you their professional input, while you still have full control of what you want. A wedding planner can bring your wedding vision to life, while you can still manage yours outside of wedding planning.
Budget Assistance
It’s so easy to have a vision and get down a rabbit role on Pinterest, when all of the sudden you’re a bottle of wine deep, and realizing your dream wedding is PRICEY! Instead of being discouraged, hit up that wedding planner and tell them what you want. They know how to get you what you want within your budget. They will help show you where to spend your money and what financially makes sense.
Organization!!
Not everyone has time or the persona to keep track of ALL the wedding checklists. Even if you are the organized type, having back up is always so reassuring. Someone to call up when you feel overwhelmed and say “Hey, what’s my next step? Or “How do I keep on top of all this?”
Planners are committed to making sure you are meeting every deadline and that nothing goes unnoticed. We also can’t forget the day-of! They also coordinate your wedding day making sure the timeline is followed, people are where they should be and that everything goes off without a hitch. (Get it? I know, bad pun)

They Become More Than Just a “Coordinator”
Having a planner means they are with you from start to finish in assisting you with one of the biggest days of your life. They truly care and want the same ultimate goal as you. They are always there to have your back, looking out for your best interests.
Most couples often confide in their planners or coordinators, telling them any family drama to be aware of on the big day or leaning on them in times of stress. It’s important to have that person in the background making sure the intoxicated Uncle isn’t standing on tables or if the contract you are signing from a venue is the best option. All in all they are a good asset to have in your corner.
More Exposure to the Industry and New Ideas
Since your planner is the professional, they know all things wedding - and what is the industry standard as well as what is a current trend. Coordinators can help you keep whatever vibe/theme you want consistently throughout your ceremony to the reception.
They are always up on the newest trends or well-versed enough in all the various styles of weddings to help you bring your vision come to life. In addition, they will also expose you to new ideas and things you may want to do differently so you can stand out from the other weddings.
Planners also have relationships built with other industry professionals as well so they know the best vendors for your personality, your vision, AND your budget!

Day-of Help is a Game Changer.
Having a coordinator/decorator on the day-of is the best decision you can make. Being a part of weddings that have not utilized this service versus weddings that have, cuts the stress level down by 90%. The bride and bridal party can comfortably get their hair and makeup done, drink a mimosa and get photos while the coordinator is at the venue making sure that everything is going according to plan. If you can snag a coordinator/decorator within the same company then you have a team of great decorators too. (*hint hint*) Why rush around trying to decorate and piece the venue together when you could be popping bubbly?
