Did you know it can take couples up to 500 hours to plan a wedding?
This is the equivalent of working full-time for 3 months.
So if you’re asking yourself the question “Are wedding planners worth it?”, these are the considerations you need to make.
How valuable is your time?
This is probably the most important question you can ask yourself.
If you are a busy individual, you might struggle to balance planning a wedding with managing your day-to-day tasks. Do you have time to source and coordinate reputable vendors? Have you considered set up and pack down time and returning rental items? If you are particularly time-poor, you might want to consider a wedding planner.
How involved do you want to be with the planning?
Planning a wedding can become a bit overwhelming when it comes to knowing what to do and when. Are you good at creating and sticking to timelines? Have you considered which vendors you need to book? Do you want to create the vision but pass over the logistics of it all to someone else? A wedding planner plans the bits you don’t want to do, whilst you get to focus on the fun bits!
Are you good at creating and sticking to a budget?
Another biggy.
When it comes to planning a wedding, it’s easy to get excited by new ideas and max out your budget quickly. Creating a budget, breaking down the elements, and putting timelines in place is crucial to ensuring you stick to your budget. A wedding planner can not only ensure you stay on track financially but can secure exclusive discounts with top-notch vendors and venues.
