Even for the most organized of people, planning an event as big as a wedding is no small feat. It takes attention to detail, patience and experience to pull off a seamless day while still enjoying the celebration of your new marriage. That’s why having a wedding planner (even if you are an event planner by trade!) is one of the best investments you make for your wedding day.
Reduce Stress
The number one reason to hire a wedding coordinator is to reduce stress. Whether it be a full-service planner who helps with every aspect of planning or a day-of planner who is only present on event day, hiring an experienced wedding professional can ease most of your stress. We want you to always look your best on the day. When you’re relaxed and in the moment it shows on camera! It also makes our job more fun.

It’s All In the Details
There are so many details to consider when planning a wedding (plus any engagement parties, bridal showers, the rehearsal dinner, etc.) that it’s easy to miss something small but important. Experienced coordinators have planned countless weddings. They know exactly what needs to happen for the day to go off without a hitch. They make sure all bases are covered and no detail is forgotten. Coordinators creates a sense of ease and calm not just for you, but for your family, wedding party, and vendors. They communicate with everyone working on the day, which eases stress for you. It’s helpful when there’s a planner to ask logistical questions about where we need to be at every part of the day. It helps us stay one step ahead of the next event. It also makes for a more enjoyable experience for both you and your guests. And when an issue arises, your coordinator will swiftly problem-solve without you even knowing. Who doesn’t want to be stress-free on their wedding day?! Hiring a wedding planner can make this a reality.

Make Your Pinterest Dreams a Reality
When it comes to planning and budgeting, a full-service coordinator makes your vision for the day come to life. Their experience with design, color, and the latest trends can be a major support when making these decisions. When meeting with different vendors and trying to decide who to hire, coordinators know the best in the business. They work with wedding industry vendors on a regular basis and have created trusting relationships. This means they can get you the cream of the crop in terms of quality, professionalism and price. Even seemingly small tasks, such as reviewing a contract, are made easier with an experienced planner who knows who you’re about to be working with.

From our experience, working with couples who hire a coordinator makes our job and your day run more smoothly. In turn, this makes for a stronger film and better experience. It means we can focus on what we do best (capturing your day!) and leaves the logistics and hiccups to the professional. You’ll be so glad you hired a planner when the big day rolls around. The only thing you have to worry about is celebrating with your loved ones.
