You are in the throes of wedding planning, slowly losing your sanity adding two items to your todo list for each one you check off. You’d like to focus on trying on dresses or picking your songs, but instead you keep having to answer questions about place settings, hors d’oeuvres and timelines. Argh!!

Why You Need a Wedding Planner:

- A LOT of little details go into a wedding that no one is even supposed to notice.
- Your family and friends want to enjoy the party too – a professional wedding planner lets them do that.
- A wedding planner can save you from yourself – and a sparkles-&-rainbows wedding. (Just me?)
- Pinterest isn’t a substitute for a wedding planner!
- If budget is an issue, consider hiring a day-of or month-of planner to help execute the wedding itself.
The things you don’t think about until two weeks after the wedding are the things that’ll trip you up. Did the marriage license get mailed in? What happened to the comfy shoes you kicked off early in the day? Who gathered things left behind by guests? A wedding planner isn’t focused on getting married, and they aren’t drinking – they are just making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
And that’s why you need a wedding planner.
