The Importance of Hiring A Wedding Planner

We’re going to break down the importance of hiring a wedding planner. Take a look!

From The Photographer’s Point Of View

Your wedding day is exciting and the biggest day in your life thus far. You hire professional photographers so you get quality memories of the day. You buy your wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses from expert sites like Azazie.com. Your cake is prepared by experienced and well-known bakers. Travel agents book your honeymoon. So why would you skip hiring a wedding planner? Why would you put yourself in such a massively responsible role on your wedding day? Let’s discuss the importance of hiring a wedding planner!

In interviewing professional photographers from around the country, we found that a wedding planner is one of their (and your) greatest asset, and one that is often underestimated.

Stress

Nothing ruins a wedding or a wedding picture like the stress of the day written on the faces of the bride and groom. A wedding planner removes that stress. They oversee the entire event with the eyes of experience and allow the couple to be excited about their big day. Minor issues are dealt with without frustrating a nervous bride.

Scheduling

There is only so much time available during an actual wedding. There are particular times allowed for the use of the venue, the reception hall, reception, and photographs. Going past those times is very costly and could delay another wedding scheduled behind yours. A wedding planner keeps everyone on schedule. They allow for minor delays and they watch out for time zappers that will throw off the schedule. When it comes to the photographer, time is money. If he is delayed at your wedding, he may be forced to send a replacement to his next assignment which is very bad for his reputation.

Experience is Everything

Wedding planners know the needs and desires of the couple. They have a better conception of the day than an inexperienced person who has not walked every mile of this wedding journey with the couple. From the gown ordering from Azazie.com to the delivery of the limousine, the wedding planner has her finger on the pulse of things. They work together with the photographer to make sure the schedule accommodates him with things like natural lighting, scenery shots, and adjustments as needed to give the couple their perfect wedding album. In a way, they make sure he has a great venue in which to do his magic. Hiring a wedding planner will make your entire day much easier and more enjoyable.

Communication

There is nothing worse than a wedding where no one knows what the others are doing. People are bumping into each other trying to get their part of the job done. People who have no idea what they are doing “help” and throw off everything. Tempers flare and soon the atmosphere is one of frustration. No one knows who to communicate with, so they head right for the bride and groom. On the wedding day, the bride and groom are a little busy. They do not have time to settle arguments or come up with ideas at the last minute. A photographer could be stuck in the middle while he is losing beautiful sunset shots outside. Once lost, they cannot be recovered.

There is a huge difference between someone taking pictures and a professional photographer. There is a big difference in someone helping with the wedding and a professional wedding planner, which is why hiring a wedding planner is so incredibly important. The difference is worth everything and shows throughout the celebration. It is only when things go horribly wrong that you realize you needed these professionals on your team. Hire pros for your wedding. You will be glad you did. This will allow you to spend your glorious day in awe of the event and madly in love.
