Do You Need
A Professional Wedding Planner? by Kathryn

The answer to
this question depends on two things.
How big will your wedding be and how
much work do you want to do yourself?
If your wedding will be a relatively
small, intimate affair and you're a
good organizer, then you can probably
handle the details yourself. But for

Wedding planners
or consultants can handle everything
from all those pesky little details
to the big stuff like coordinating the
music, flowers, caterers, photographers
and entertainment. When selecting a
wedding planner, make sure the person
is professional, organized and punctual.
They should have a cellular telephone
with them at all times. Always ask for
recommendations from satisfied customers.
A professional wedding
planner can offer the following:
Assistance with
preparing a budget and setting priorities
Recommendations
for professional services - photographers,
caterers, florists, etc.
Scheduling of
services as required
Advice on matters
of etiquette and assistance with vows
Coordinate the
service professionals as they arrive
Oversee the ceremony
from start to finish
Supervise the
reception setup
Provide peace
of mind
A good wedding planner
is worth their weight in gold so don't
expect them to come cheap. But having
a professional plan your wedding day can
remove a lot of the stress, leaving you
to enjoy your beautiful celebration of
love.

moments are lighthearted and
she is spot-on as the controlling,
compulsive-yet-sweet planner.
