Planners wear SO many different hats for a wedding – it’s crazy! So when someone asks us what a wedding planner does, we just want to say “Everything!! What DON’T we do?”
But we realized that that’s not exactly helpful. For the brides that want to fully experience this once in a lifetime time in their lives, planning is an unnecessary luxury. These brides want to take on everything and anything related to their best day ever! That’s awesome! We were there. And if we truly understood the value of a planner, we would have been all over that. Truly.
So what exactly do planners do? Planners wear these three main hats:
Planner
Planners help you throughout your engagement with the logistics side of things. Planners help you do things like choosing vendors (this takes up most of your planning time!!) to managing your budget and keeping your planning schedule on track. Planners take over the tasks that aren’t considered ‘fun’ so you can spend your planning time focusing on the design, ceremony and reception details!
Your time is valuable and your engagement shouldn’t be taken over by planning! Wedding planners can point you to vendors that you may not even know existed and know dozens of tips and tricks to making your wedding beautiful no matter what your budget is!
Designer
Wedding designers handle the aesthetic of your day. Designers help you narrow your wedding day vision and theme and take charge of anything related to how your day looks. This includes helping you find and select decor and set it up.
Pinterest is awesome but what it doesn’t help with is narrowing down a theme. If you’re anything like us as brides, we pinned stuff that didn’t go together at all! Sadly, you can only pick one theme for your wedding. So it has to be amazing, beautiful, and 100% you!
Coordinator
A wedding coordinator’s main responsibility is to make sure the wedding day goes smoothly. Things like overseeing your gift table, boxing up your leftover cake, and handling any day-of emergencies are small but important tasks that someone has to do! Coordinators allow your friends and family to relax and truly enjoy the day.
A planner doesn’t mean your planning has to be a hands-off experience whatsoever! Planners love talking wedding with you and love taking the stress from your engagement and we love infusing weddings with the personality of each and every client. The #1 goal for us is to make sure you are happy and stress-free and truly enjoy your planning process!
