Top 5 Facts on the Importance of Hiring a Wedding Planner
With the end of lockdown in site, and Covid-19 slowly becoming a thing of the past, many couples are FINALLY able to look forward to their future wedding, and are starting to contact wedding planners to find out what the benefits of hiring one would be. To make things easier for all of my future clients, and JLE readers, I decided to write this blog for you! Here are my Top 5 Reasons on Why it’s Important to Hire a Wedding Planner.
We Save You Time: It takes an average of 250 hours to plan a 100 guest wedding. By hiring a wedding planner to help plan your wedding, that number gets reduced by more than half. We research your vendors, go over your contracts, make sure you stay within budget, and so much more! But let’s say you hire a planner for month-of coordination. Do we save you time then? Absolutely! In the last month you need to contact all of your vendors to coordinate the day and make sure everything runs smoothly, approximately 50 hours of work, but when you hire a month-of coordinator, we handle that for you, so all you have to do for the last month is pay any vendors, give your DJ/band their song list, and have a spay day!
We Relieve a LOT of Stress: This is important, especially when hiring month-of coordinators. You don’t want to have to worry about missing anything for the day, or having to set anything up or verifying that your vendors have arrived and are on time. This is where your wedding planner comes in. Think of us as your added insurance to ease your mind on your wedding day, allowing you to be present and enjoy every minute of it!
We Always Offer Valuable Advice: I personally have been in this industry for over ten years, my own business for seven, and have seen it all! We know the ins and outs of this industry, and we’ve collected years of information that can help in any situation. Plus, in the off-chance we don’t have the answer, we have the person who does on speed dial!
Budgeting: Granted, I didn’t go into this business because I love math, but I know how to put together a great budget that will allow you to get the priority items you want, like a great photographer over décor, and help you stick with it! Not only that, I have connections in the industry that will allow you to save money through their discounts. BTW – these discounts are not kickbacks to me in the slightest, they’re just a way for you to save some money!
To Coordinate Your Entire Wedding: We touched on it earlier, but honestly, having a planner by your side for the last month and day of your wedding is extremely important. We make sure everything is running smoothly, knowing exactly what is happening every minute from the moment you wake up in the morning, until you’re no longer at your reception venue. We also coordinate all of your vendors so they know where to be and when, and make sure nothing overlaps that would compromise your vision and wedding day!
Now, these are just five reasons on why it’s important to hire a wedding planner, but there are so many others! Contact us today for your free, initial consultation so we can discuss why the wedding planners at JLE are the right fit for you!
