What is a Wedding Planner and do l need one?
With all the costs involved in producing a wedding, the fee for a Wedding Planner is a small price to pay to ensure that on your special day everything unfolds, just as YOU planned.
The biggest day of your life!... the opportunity to make it amazing... why chance disappointment.
Should a crisis or emergency arise along the way, as so often can happen... your Wedding Planner will more often than not be able to handle it, so that the bride and groom never even know there was a crisis.
The outcome: a relaxed bride and groom.

Who needs a Wedding Planner?
Said of her wedding day - “I thought l could manage easily without a wedding coordinator, but by the time my wedding was over, my husband and l wanted to press the re wind button and go back and hire one.
My wedding day went by in a complete blur. I was so concerned about checking this...checking that.. l didn’t realise there would be so much to do”.
Angela, said “she felt she was the wedding planner... at one point she asked herself. Why am I in this white gown? All she was waiting for was someone else to come and ask her to deal with the next issue... Carrie said she never relaxed and failed to “Take in the moment”.
“First I wished I had double checked with all my vendors and confirmed exactly what I had ordered. Secondly, my dress was too long, I never checked the final alterations”.
“I wish I had checked out the photographers credentials, our photographs were such a disappointment. He was cheap, a very expensive mistake”.
“I wish I had had more help....the run up to our wedding chaotic... I spent the last 2 days checking and double checking... I was exhausted on my wedding day”.
“I wish I had spent more time looking at the catering arrangements, we had guests with special eating requirements and on the day the special food hadn’t been prepared, we had 4 guests who couldn’t eat anything... a wedding planner would have checked this for us...
“I wish I had hired a wedding planner, on the run up to my wedding day; I was tying up loose ends, from the cleaning of the church, to collecting name plates for the tables. Some of my guests didn’t get their directions to the church in time and got lost, so some of our most valued friends didn’t see us get married”
Carol said of her wedding day, I realised on my wedding day I had played it all wrong, by not hiring a wedding planner, “I didn’t want to spend the extra money” where did that get me! Paying a professional to do the work for me would have allowed me to “Be there” on the day, I never really got to take in the moment!
