1.
Highly experienced planners recommend vendors and other
professionals to work with
because they will understand your vision, are
similar to you in personality, and can offer solutions within your budget NOT
because they make more money when you work with the vendors they suggest.

Highly experienced planners do not take over your special
occasion and make it their own. It’s
your day; they are there to make it easy for you to create and allow you to be
able to enjoy your day.

I commonly hear … “Working with a planner will cost me so
much more money then me doing it myself.”
Simply – not true. Planners in
the know – gets advance information on vendors, supply companies going out of
business. You can really make out like a
bandit, getting more product for less money. Being able to have someone
checking quality, prices and negotiating on your behalf can save you more
too. Finally, several vendors offer
planners better pricing then you can get on your own just for the sheer volume
that a planner gives the vendor.
4.
Many times planners throw in free products and services for
you because they received them as promo’s from other vendors. This saves you even more.

I also have heard from brides that they want to save money
on services by having their friends and families do them the day of the
wedding. Result:
a.
the brides vision sometimes gets lost in translation,
b.
your friends sometimes feel taken advantage of and after the
wedding – no longer friends,
c.
your friends forget about the duties and enjoy the wedding
as a guest and the list just continues.
Many times, planners include in
their month of or day of packages a couple free hours of work on the wedding
day to handle these duties so your friends and family can enjoy the day with
you.
6.
Planners know how locations work: i.e. how the layout of a location will cause
your guests not to be able to see what is going on. How many restrooms you must have for comfort
on the wedding day based upon the guest count.
Staffing requirements to avoid long lines and frustrated guests on the
wedding day. How much time is needed for set up of your vision and how many
people will take to make it a reality in the allotted time on your wedding day.
7. Planning
packages and services by professional planners are so expensive. Your event or wedding day does not get a
do-over. Its worth the price to ensure that your vision is realized and you,
your family and friends get to share the day together to celebrate.
