Determining Whether or Not You Really Need a Wedding Planner

Posted by cris on July 19th, 2017

Planning a wedding is indeed exciting. You get to piece together how your wedding is going to look like as a whole, but on the opposite side of the bench, it can also be a bit exhausting, but wait…that’s a bit of an understatement. Planning a wedding can totally take the life out of you.

It’s no wonder why lots of people resort to just hiring a wedding planner who will do everything for them. Well, sure, they have to be there to help too, but that’s a big relief compared to if you have to do the planning all on your own.

Planning a wedding isn’t as easy as it sounds. Of course, everything in wedding planning has something to do with money. You can say that it’s just about shopping and other stuff like that, but you’re totally going to eat your words once it is already you who is in the midst of a wedding planning process.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that it is crucial that you find yourself a wedding planner.

On the contrary, I’m telling you that you need to be wise when deciding whether to hire a wedding planner or not.

Let’s face it.

Hiring a wedding planner is expensive. Your wedding is still a few months away. There is no doubt that you’re going to have a better use for that money.

You don’t want to use it on the wrong things. You don’t have to hire a wedding planner, especially if you don’t even need one.

So, do you need a wedding planner?

Well, let’s find out.

Determine your wedding venue

Everything starts with the venue and with good reason too.

If you plan to do your wedding in a place you been into all your life, then there is probably no need to hire a wedding planner.

Why should you when you already know the people you should be approaching for certain wedding elements?

But if your wedding venue is located in a place that is quite alien to you then that is a sure-fire sign that you definitely should hire a wedding planner.

You’d need someone who know where to find experts on cinematic wedding videography. You’ll need someone who know where to find food vendors for your wedding, and other stuff like that.

Know your budget

This is exactly what I’m talking about. Wedding planning is quite costly. You can’t just exhaust all your budget on the wedding planner because there are still a lot of things you should be spending for.

If it’s possible that you can handle the wedding planning on your own then there is no need to hire a wedding planner.
