The proposal has been made, you said YES, and the wedding date has been fixed. The official wedding planning has begun and you’ve a million questions from where to start to what do I book first. It’s normal to feel a tad anxious when planning what will be one of the most important events in your life – after all you’ll need to think of countless details, hire the right vendors and consider traditions and etiquette that you might not even be aware of. It can be quite a daunting task to take on all by yourself so the smartest choice you’d make is to hire a wedding planner. Aside from recommending the right vendors for your style of wedding, a wedding planner or coordinator can significantly reduce the strain on your shoulders and transform your dream wedding into a reality. Here are main reasons why you need a wedding planner…

1. Your planner can become your financial coordinator
Aside from being an excellent reference for local vendors, your planner can also become your financial coordinator for the wedding. He/she can help you set aside a budget and also keep track of upcoming expenses. They can then advise you on the details to trim or skip completely in order to stay within the allotted budget. In the long run, a planner can even help you save money.
2. You would have your personal etiquette guru
Many brides-to-be aren’t aware of the etiquettes that are essential to keep in mind when planning a wedding (if you’re going the traditional route). With a planner, you’d have your own etiquette expert just like the renowned Emily Post who could then guide you regarding specifics. This way, there’s no chance of offending Great Aunt Doris for not having your guest book attendant wearing a corsage.

3. You can relax and enjoy the day
Your wedding day is yours to enjoy and celebrate with your partner and friends and family. The last thing you want is to worry if things are running smoothly or not. The planner will arrange all the last minute details for you: supervise the bridal party, oversee the set up and clean up of vendors, and so on. During the main ceremony, you won’t have to worry about when your grandparents will walk down the aisle or where the bridesmaids/groomsmen will be seated. You also won’t have to worry that your parents will miss your first dance while they’re busy dealing with something that popped up.
4. They can liaise with your vendors
Without a doubt, the most important service a wedding planner will provide is lifting the burden off your shoulders by liaising with your vendors. They know all the best suppliers, have potentially excellent relationships with some of them and can avail of great rates which can then be passed on to you. Plus, they’ll deal with all the nitty gritty stuff that could cause you headaches. He or she will also make sure the venue returns your grandma’s cake knife after the event and that the guest book makes it back to you after the reception.
