Do You Really NEED a Wedding Planner?
Another reason why brides book a wedding planner is that they can find it really overwhelming to find the right suppliers, venues and services.
There are so many venues, photographers, florists etc out there! Questions that a lot of brides have when planning their wedding:
- Where can I find a unique wedding venue that isn’t a stock standard hotel ball room?
- How do I choose a supplier? How will I know if they are trustworthy and will be able to deliver?
- Am I paying too much? How do I know that the supplier isn’t ripping me off?
- How can I get more out of my budget? Everything is adding up!
These questions are the reasons why a bride will engage a wedding planner or wedding consultant to ensure that they get the most from their budget and the best suppliers out there that can deliver a beautiful product or service on the day.
