1. Your family and friends shouldn’t be a vendor! Now, we’re not critiquing your mom’s decor choices or how your uncles BBQ taste. Instead, we’re saying- “why are your friends and family focusing on working and not getting ready and soaking up quality time with you?” Your wedding day is going to be packed full of ‘to do’. It’s also a day that is meant to be the start of a new chapter and to celebrate with all your loved ones! A wedding planner is going to be the person to take over and take control of set-up so your closest friends and family can spend that time with you and get ready together! Those are also the best pictures so why rush?
2. Vendor woes? Not with a wedding planner! Having someone on your side means an extra pair of eyes to comb through contracts, sit in on meetings, and take notes on inclusions and extras. Your wedding planner will come armed with a list of other vendors they’ve worked with before and recommendations that are fit for you and your vision (not to mention your budget!). There’s a lot of puzzle pieces that come together in terms of vendors for a wedding and by hiring a wedding planner, it means you’re not piecing it together by yourself.
3. Less stress, less chaos. A wedding is supposed to be a day of celebration and love! It also means the couple can be overwhelmed with all the technical parts of the day. Your wedding planner is there to take that burden and make sure you enjoy the day. They are there to run the timelines, set-up, break-down, and be the director of the day. From the initial booking of your planner to hiring vendors to the big day- they are there to carry the stress so you can fully enjoy all the hardwork and have memories of a lifetime! 
   

A wedding planner is a built in friend, someone to handle the nitty-gritty of scheduling and set-up, and an advocate for you! Their job is to make sure your day (and the time leading up to it) is focused on each other and your loved ones.
