Why Wedding Planners Aren’t Just for Celebrities

Yes, we’ve all seen the extravagant weddings of the world’s wealthiest people - take Salim & Aysha for example - and our favourite celebrities splashed about in magazines and online…when you’re that rich how can it not be extravagant?! Of course the sheer size and complexity of these weddings requires an extraordinary wedding planner - Preston Bailey, Tara Guérard, Mindy Weiss, Bronson and Mimi van Wyck to name a few of the world’s best.
So, we know that celebrities hire wedding planners, but what about us regular, ‘normal’ people? The size and budget of the wedding doesn’t always dictate the need for a planner. Regardless if you’re Jennifer Aniston or Jennifer Smith, you may need one and here’s a few reasons why.

1. You don’t want to burden friends and family members - A planner can seem unnecessary when you’ve got a string of friends and family members offering to jump in and help out! However, what often ends up happening is that things don’t get done or don’t get done well and with everyone’s opinions flying about, your wishes and dreams for your big day get lost in the mix. In the end, you may be left with a lot of wrangling, follow-up, and stress and you still won’t be guaranteed that everything will work out on the big day.
2. We've got our little black book – We have on the ground knowledge of the best vendors to work with and know which ones to connect with based on your vision and your budget. A wedding planner comes with a slew of resources, vendor connections and insider knowledge to ensure your dream day comes true.
3. You don’t want to be caught up in executing the details – Let us troubleshoot and execute for you! Once the big day arrives, you will want to enjoy it to the absolute fullest, because it goes by quickly. You don’t want to be worried about folding napkins, setting tables and placing petals down the aisle. You want to wake-up feeling refreshed, zenned and focused on the day - not the details of the day.
4. This is our day job – We do this job every day and we do it well. We are not trying to fit in the planning after work and on weekends and we know which vendors to go to based on your budget, style and wishes. We live for this and that’s why we do it!

Still not sold? Well, at the very least hire a ‘Day Of’ Wedding Coordinator. You’ll definitely need and want someone to help pull it all together and make it happen on the big day. Take it from someone in the know - you don’t want to be worrying about the set-up, timelines, and vendors when you’re trying to be the bride. A professional wedding planner can step in, take the reins (and the stress and worrying) and make your dream wedding come true. We highly recommend that you meet with a wedding planner today because celebrity or not, your wedding day is a kind of a big deal and it should go just as you’ve dreamed it…because some days are destined to be extraordinary!
