In the age of the internet and women’s independence, there are several things we can do on our own and planning your own wedding is no different. There are so many websites that I could choose from; read as many online articles on how to plan a wedding. Then I could ask my sister, who is also my maid of honor, to make sure that the pastor, cake, food, photographer etc. arrive on time. And while she’s at it, she should ensure that parents of the bride & groom are in place and know what is expected of them. Then I could ask my cousin to just use his laptop to play music and my auntie could bake the cake.
Yea, I could do all of that and keep calm for my big day! Well, let me honest with myself for a quick minute- this is chaotic with my 200 plus guests.
Just thinking about it is so overwhelming and our moms had advised that I get a wedding planner and you know ‘moms know best’.
So here are my four (4) reasons as to why I really need a wedding planner:
They sweat the small stuff.
You know that perfect blush or Tiffany’s blue that you must have as your wedding theme but haven’t the faintest idea where to look or how to bring your visions to life. A professional wedding planner just needs to know what you need to distinguish your big day. They are the hunters and gathers of your customized theme from colors to floral arrangements to the perfect beach for your guest whether you have a party of 300 or just you two.
They know the market.
Vendors: caterers, cake specialists, florists, photographers & videographers are all at the fingertips of your professional wedding planner. These are the ones necessary to make your dream the ultimate success and your wedding planner will be in the market negotiating with the best to give you the best- the best service at the best prices!
Efficiency.
Planning a wedding takes time to get all the details right and it must be done efficiently. “This is what trust looks like” says Sadeki Watson, CEO and Master Planner for Chic-Events Jamaica©. They help you with prioritizing, they do the running around on their own time- this is what they do! Making your desires for your wedding a reality is effectively what they do in the most efficient way with you just lifting one finger
Professional Services.
The management & execution of your wedding is exactly why you would have a wedding planner and this takes prized professionalism from your planner from concepts to reality. Think of your professional wedding planner as your ultimate troubleshooter and personal wedding concierge agent! “If something goes wrong on your big day, no need to panic as your professional wedding will take care of it so you don’t have to” says Sadeki Watson, “and this what you should expect and receive when you hire a professional wedding planner.”
