Real talk from real brides reveals what every couple needs when planning a wedding. Every step from picking a date to choosing a venue should be exciting and stress-free. However, couples struggle to figure out a budget and settle on many decisions along the way. Let’s explore some real challenges in the journey and some easy solutions to make wedding planning the beautiful experience it should be.
"Should I hire a wedding planner?"
This is a huge decision that not every couple can afford to make. There are some important reasons why many couples sit on the fence about wedding planning professionals. We dream of this day for what seems like a lifetime to create one perfect memory that we will cherish forever. There is so much weight on creating the perfect moment, and planning a wedding can be a lot of work without a professional. The journey to planning usually takes about a year. Time is expensive and scarce. Many couples do not have the time to invest in the process of planning. Some couples cannot afford to hire a planner, but most couples cannot afford not to.
"I don’t have time to plan a wedding, but I don’t have the budget for a wedding planner."
Hiring a wedding planner can quickly devour a small wedding budget. Even when there is little time for finding the perfect venue, exploring themes, renting décor, interviewing vendors, attending the cake tasting, meeting with the caterer, reviewing contracts, coordinating events, creating a timeline, and designing the invitations, the cost of hiring someone to put everything together can make the magical event smaller. Couples are seeking all-inclusive wedding venues with in-house wedding planners to effortlessly plan a wedding from fantasy.
"How do I build my team of wedding vendors without a wedding planner? Is the WeddingWire the only way to plan?"
Couples are looking for solutions and finding them at all-inclusive venues with in-house designers that have the ability to put the entire event together on a tight budget. It is important to find a venue that includes the furnishings and décor. Renting tables, chairs and décor separately can cost time and money. When all of the planning can be done at one time and in one place, it eliminates the need for an expensive planner. All-inclusive wedding venues with preferred vendor lists can build a team of trusted vendors all in one place. There is no need to search a never ending directory of vendors and spend a day researching Google reviews and testimonials. A venue that can build your entire wedding team by facilitating connections with professional vendors is gold.
