It might be your special day, but that won\u2019t stop your parents bickering over who should be invited, or your granny insisting she\u2019s making an elaborate three-tier wedding cake when you\u2019ve set your heart on a macaron tower.&nbsp;&nbsp;But if you\u2019ve hired a wedding planner, they will do everything they can to save you from unnecessary stress, and that includes dealing firmly but politely with your nearest and dearest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Checking contracts&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you book a supplier or a service it\u2019s vital that you have a written contract in place. It\u2019s also very important that you read through contracts carefully \u2013 especially the small print.&nbsp;&nbsp;The devil, as they say, is in the detail!&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have a wedding planner however, they will review the terms and conditions of any contract&nbsp;<em>before<\/em>&nbsp;you sign it.&nbsp;&nbsp;They will also hold onto any contracts so they know exactly what your suppliers have promised and can hold them accountable.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, although it\u2019s your responsibility to make payments, a wedding planner will ensure you don\u2019t miss any deadlines by reminding you when final payments or instalments are due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Taking care of guests&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A wedding planner will be able to source and block book overnight accommodation and organise transportation between the church and venue for your guests if needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating schedules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping tabs on everything from RSVPs to what time your florist can start setting up at the venue is a major undertaking, and that\u2019s only the preparation for your big day; you\u2019ll need a separate timeline for the wedding itself.\u00a0\u00a0However, with a wedding planner on board, you can relax safe in the knowledge that no detail will be overlooked, and that everything will run smoothly on the big day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313083559\/Screenshot-2023-01-04-at-16.23.43-1024x682.png\" alt=\"Lady on a phone planning\" class=\"wp-image-4144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313083559\/Screenshot-2023-01-04-at-16.23.43-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313083559\/Screenshot-2023-01-04-at-16.23.43-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313083559\/Screenshot-2023-01-04-at-16.23.43-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313083559\/Screenshot-2023-01-04-at-16.23.43-1536x1023.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313083559\/Screenshot-2023-01-04-at-16.23.43.png 1678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your wedding day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the best will in the world, it\u2019s not possible for you personally to ensure that everything happens when it should on the day of the wedding as you have a more important role to fulfil.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have a wedding planner though, they will ensure everything runs to plan, and deal with any problems that occur so that you can enjoy your special day without worrying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Saving your sanity!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The pressure of a never-ending to do list, family expectations, \u2018keeping up with the Joneses\u2019 and financial constraints can leave you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hiring a wedding planner can alleviate much of the stress associated with planning your wedding, and if you&nbsp;<em>are<\/em>&nbsp;still feeling stressed about something they will be on hand to reassure you and deal with the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In-house wedding planning versus an independent wedding planner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Booking a venue which offers in-house wedding planning may seem like a cost-effective way of acquiring the services of a wedding planner, but before you sign anything it is wise to double-check exactly what\u2019s on offer and whether there are any conditions attached.&nbsp;&nbsp;For example, will they tie you to using specific suppliers, and are they going to support with the entire planning process, or simply coordinate the wedding day itself?&nbsp;&nbsp;If the cost of hiring a venue\u2019s wedding planner seems very reasonable, bear in mind that this is likely to reflect the level of service you can expect to receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this blog post has been useful in helping you to decide whether you need a wedding planner or not.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you\u2019re still unsure though, we\u2019ve compiled a list of reasons why you may wish to book a wedding planner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You have no family or friends who are willing or able to help<\/li><li>You both work full time<\/li><li>You both have stressful jobs<\/li><li>You have only a short time frame in which to organise everything<\/li><li>You\u2019re planning an overseas wedding<\/li><li>You can\u2019t decide on a theme<\/li><li>You don\u2019t want the hassle of sourcing suppliers yourself<\/li><li>You want someone else to support and guide you through the process<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever you decide, we\u2019d like to congratulate you on your forthcoming nuptials and wish you every happiness for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That\u2019s a wrap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At PartyWizz, we specialise in providing entertainers and suppliers such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/weddings\/magicians\">magicians<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/weddings\/photography\">photographers<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/weddings\/videography\">videographers<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/weddings\/wedding-singers\">musicians<\/a>&nbsp;and more.
