- You Need a Big Budget to Hire a Planner
Most professional wedding planners will work with any budget. In fact, the smaller your budget, the more you need a planner to help you stretch your money to its maximum. - You Will Lose Control over Your Wedding Plans
Most planners will take your ideas and enhance them and then bring you several options that not only match your wishes but also your budget. - My Venue Has an Onsite Wedding Coordinator
Most onsite wedding coordinators have the venue’s best interest in mind rather than yours. They may help coordinate what was listed in your wedding package, but they won’t likely be concerned or available to help with your other important wedding needs. - I Want a DIY Wedding
It’s great if you’re crafty and have lots of time and many other helpers to make invitations, favors, and so forth but an experienced planner can show you where you can save money and may waste money on DIY projects. Plus, she likely has resources to allow you to buy your supplies wholesale or at greatly discounted prices. - Wedding Planners are Expensive
Brides who have worked with a planner will tell you that the time and money the planner was able to save them because of vendor discounts and keeping them from making costly mistakes more than balanced out their fee.
