Why should I hire a wedding planner?

As couples begin thinking about their wedding, they are often confused about how much to spend, where to obtain specialised services, and how to choose vendors. These worries often mount as quickly as the cost of the wedding. After the euphoria wears off and the reality settles in, it’s shocking to discover how much preparation is involved. Couples are faced with decisions about everything from invitation wording, arranging accommodation for out of town guests, to planning their honeymoon. Couples often find they want experienced professional help.

What if I can’t afford a wedding planner?

Not long ago, wedding coordinators were thought of as a luxury, only used by the wealthy. Now a wedding coordinator is an essential element of a well-planned affair. Being experienced in negotiating contracts with caterers, florists, photographers, and other suppliers, the wedding designer saves you valuable time and money. Upfront the cost may seem unaffordable but ultimately the coordinator should save you at least their fee. The coordinator can take advantage of discounts not available to private parties and avoid costly mistakes, while turning your dreams into reality. 

The venue I’ve chosen has a planner.

Most venues have a venue manager, event coordinator, or even their own wedding planner. These job titles may vary but their tasks and duties remain the same. Their primary concern is food and beverage, not your vows or flower arrangements. They may say that they have their own marriage celebrant or preferred florist. This limits your selection of vendors and opportunities for personalising aspects of your wedding. By relying on a venue’s employee, who holds the company’s objectives foremost, your special day may turn out looking like a “cookie cutter” wedding. A hotel can host up to forty events on a weekend. Make sure your wedding gets the attention it deserves by hiring an Avant Couture Events wedding planning professional.
