Are You Thinking About Using a Wedding Planner/Consultant?

Many people consider their wedding one of the biggest events in their lives which totally justifies the great amount of effort taken to get everything ready. Given the complexity of the event, you'll definitely need help in planning your wedding, be it from professionals or from close friends and family. There is a psychological stress reliever that comes with help in planning a wedding. Once you get it, you no longer need to worry about every detail, and the experience becomes a true delight,  not a burden.   Most brides today work full time and have a limited amount of time available for taking care of the millions of things having a perfect wedding day entails, so have you considered hiring a wedding planner/consultant?  


A wedding planner/consultant provides professional advice on planning every aspect of  your wedding.  They will help you develop whatever theme you desire making sure that all of the i's are dotted and t's crossed.  Because of their backgrounds, many have created simply fabulous affairs that would be the envy of every bride.  Their expertise can be invaluable in shopping and negotiating for the many services that will be required to put your day together.  Some consultants offer full package wedding planning services while others often will offer services a la carte. 

Will your budget allow for a planner?  They are several thousand dollars of additional expense depending upon where you live or are having your wedding.  If you seriously do not have the time available to take care of everything planning a wedding entails, then hire a planner.  Or if you are having a destination wedding away from where you live, a planner from your wedding destination is almost a must in order to make sure that everything gets done on time and to your specifications.

If you live in a small or more rural area, a wedding planner might not be an option.  I caution against using someone to take care of this most important event if they do not live where you live and are not familiar with all of the local options.  In that case, enlist several friends or family members officially as your ‘wedding planners’.  If you make it official, then you can and should expect them to fulfill their wedding planning duties in a more professional way so that everything gets done as you want.  This option still requires a lot of your personal time overseeing what everyone does, but will alleviate some of the stress by not having to do it all yourself.
