Why Hire a Wedding Planner #1

Your Planner is On Your Side - I have avoided blogging on this subject because to me the reasons are numerous and obvious. When I was married nearly 20 years ago, my coordinator was my big splurge (in a $2000 wedding, believe me she was a splurge). I knew that I needed someone on my side.

I dearly love my family, more ever day. However, as the baby of the family, I was always told how I should do EVERYTHING. This went from how to brush my teeth and fix my hair to how to set tables and walk down the aisle. I am not an expert in every field, but I certainly am an expert in WEDDINGS. I knew how I wanted everything to turn out, and I did not want my family trying to change it or upsetting me by trying to force me into a decision I would not be happy making. So, dear Christy stepped in and took the weight off my shoulders. She was WORTH EVERY PENNY!

As a planner, it is my job #1 to make sure the bride is getting the day of her dreams and that no one is steam rolling her into decisions that will inevitably make her unhappy. We find the elements that will be joy to both her and her fiance while eliminating the stress that may ensnare them when families are "over-involved".
