You’re newly engaged, the excitement is brewing, and you can finally start planning the wedding of your dreams! You quickly go online to start researching your perfect wedding and realize with a sudden jolt, that the details can quickly add up!

No need to fret!

There is a wonderful vendor who is by far my favorite to recommend, that can help whisk away those wedding worries, and help guide you into a stress-free day – wedding coordinators!

Theses seven reasons below are my top recommendations for why you need to hire a wedding planner, and how they can facilitate the hardest parts of your planning.

Reason #1: Wedding Planners Give You a Direct Style and Theme

With pinterest the number one tool for brides everywhere, we can easily be overwhelmed by all of the beautiful styles, colors, and choices for your day. It is easy to start pinning and gravitating towards multiple styles without having a focus.

Enter the Wedding Coordinator!

Through conversation and direction, she can help guide you to a common theme so that you do not get tied down with too many styles and colors, and thus draw away your attention for what you truly want to accomplish. You can easily decide your wedding style, with the help of your wedding coordinator and photographer too!

Reason #2: They Can Help You Stick To Your Budget

When planning your wedding, it is essential to stick to your budget that both you and your fiancé agreed upon. Running rampant on the checking account can lead to bad vibes leading up to your big day. Don’t let this dangerous activity come between you two.

Wedding Coordinators know your budget right off the bat, and she can help sort out your priorities, your guests count, and the relative cost per guest that can help stick to your overall budget. They can also make the most out of your decor and extraneous items such a gifts for your family, or guests, to help manage your money.

Reason #3: They Will Help You Find Trusted Vendors

Most of us wedding vendors have Preferred Vendor lists that we like to share with brides. It helps us maintain a sense of trust, knowing that we are sending our beloved clients into other arms we know will provide the best experience for them.

Wedding planners are one of the only vendors (besides wedding photographers) that are with you throughout your entire wedding planning process. And because they run the show behind the scenes, they know you delivers quality service and products, and who truly cares about your happiness for your big day!

Ask your wedding planner for their list (or your venues for their Preferred Vendor list) to find out of they have recommendations for you.

Reason #4: They Can Help Facilitate Advice and Demands From Your Family

We all know that everyone in the world thinks that they can lend you their opinion when planning your wedding. Wedding coordinators are great at listening to your mother in law, and sisters, and everyone else for that matter, and helping to facilitate everyone’s opinions. In the end, this day is all about you and the coordinator makes you their number one priority. But as a wedding professional, they are often great at managing third party expectations, and can apply the same help for those that seek to interfere with your preferences.

Reason #5: You Don’t Want Wedding Planning to Take Over Your Time

Wedding planning is easily very consuming of your time. But it is important during your engagement, to actually enjoy your engagement! This is a time you will never get back. Instead of spending hours researching and emailing and asking questions, your coordinator can take care of all that behind-the-scenes work so that you can enjoy this special time in your lives!

Reason #6: They Create a Stress-Free Environment on Your Wedding Day

This is the Number One reason you need to hire a wedding planner. On the day of your wedding, the last thing you want to be thinking about is if the placards were put on the proper tables. While you are getting ready and enjoying your upcoming ceremony, your coordinator will be running the show, so that you don’t have to worry about a thing. This service is priceless people, and can help reduce in a joyous day not only for you, but for your families and bridal party too! There are many ways to help have a stress-free wedding day, but hiring a wedding coordinator can help you immensely!

Reason #7: Destination Wedding Planning Becomes Much Easier

If planning a destination wedding, as so many do in northern Michigan, hiring a wedding coordinator can help guide who throughout an area that you are unfamiliar with. As you probably can’t travel to your destination area every weekend to sort out details, leave all of that to your coordinator and she can help alleviate your travel. She can also help guarantee that your orders, details, flowers, ect all arrive onetime, before your big day!

These 7 reasons why you need a to hire a wedding coordinator are the top tips for planning your wedding, especially if it is a destination wedding in northern Michigan!
