Why do I need a Wedding Planner???

Why do I need planner? In a word, STRESS!! Almost every bride today has had a vision of their wedding day since childhood. She sees only the beauty and the glamour of being "Queen for a Day" in her vision.

Unfortunately, to get to all of the beauty of a perfect day, it takes between 100 and 200 hours of planning. Once realized, this is when the panic sets in and the dynamics change greatly!!

Todays bride need to think:

- Do I have 100 to 200 hours to plan this wedding?
- Do I know all of the best vendors that fit my vision and my budget?
- Do I know the proper etiquette?
- Do I have the patience to deal with all of the emotional personalities that become involved in every wedding?
- Do I tolerate stress well or will I become the dreaded "Bridezilla"?

As a professional wedding planner, otherwise known as a bridal consultant or wedding coordinator, will be able to work with your budget to help you create the dream of a perfect wedding day because:

- The wedding planner is equipped to do the job FULL TIME
- The planner is trained to know all of the element necessary for your particular ceremony and reception
- The planner has worked with wedding professionals and has relationships that can often get you the best quality at a reduced price
- The planner will work with your schedule to set up vendor meetings
- The planner will set up meetings only with the vendors that meet your budgetary requirements

With all of this considered, now you can relax and concentrate on shopping for a wedding planner that will work well with you!!
