Tea Thyme // 7 Reasons Wedding Planners are Essential

Trust us, you NEED a wedding planner. More than likely, your wedding is the only one you’ll ever plan. Why try to become an expert when you can just hire one? Not convinced? Keep scrolling to find out why wedding planners are an essential part of your perfect day.

Bring Your Vision To Life

By nature, wedding planners are creative. They stay in touch with current trends and have an eye for design. One look at your Pinterest board and they’re start connecting you to vendors who can execute your vision! Better yet, they’ll introduce you to up-and-coming design elements to take your wedding style to the next level.

Advocate On Your Behalf

When it comes to your big day, everyone seems to have an opinion. Your family doesn’t want you skipping any of the formalities, your friends are begging for an open bar and Linda from the down the street is adamant that it’s bad luck to see your groom before the ceremony. You need someone in your corner who’s going to take up for you when the noise gets too loud.

Coach You Throughout Process

Wedding planners are industry experts. They know the planning process inside and out and want to guide you through each step. With mass gathering requirements changing week to week, hiring a professional to help you navigate the unknowns has never been more important.

Keep You Organized And On Track

Wedding planners organize for a living! So it’s no surprise they have workflows in place to keep you on track. They’ll provide you with timelines, checklists and tracking sheets so that you always know where you’re at in the process.

Free Up Your Time

By hiring an expert, you’ll save yourself endless hours of research and coordination. You can spend less time communicating with vendors and more time soaking in moments with your fiancé. Oh, and don’t worry about creating a wedding day timeline or floor plan – your planner will take care of that too!

Stretch Your Budget

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but DIY isn’t the only option for stretching your budget. Hire a planner to negotiate with and book best value vendors as well as provide cost saving recommendations. We know it seems counterproductive to spend money on a planner to save money in your budget but a planner’s expertise invaluable!

Save You Wedding Day Stress

If you need even one more reason to hire a wedding planner, THIS is it. They save you stress on your big day! After months of preparing, you deserve to enjoy every second of your wedding. Let your planner worry about the timeline so that you can focus on what matter most – marrying the love of your life and sharing the moment with your closest friends and family!
