Why You Should Consider Hiring a Wedding Planner

Honestly, there are so many reasons. A wedding planner can be a lot like a fairy godmother. They know what you need and what you want, and they make it happen like magic. They’ll connect you with the best wedding vendors, find great venues, help you stay organized, make tough decisions for you, help you stick to your wedding budget, handle difficult requests (like finding fair trade wedding favors), and help keep pre-wedding and wedding day drama to a minimum. Having a planner might even save you money, because your planner might have access to discounts you wouldn’t be able to score on your own.

The point is that wedding planners in NYC and elsewhere can take all the tough parts of planning a wedding off of your shoulders. Surprisingly, NYC wedding planners only charge about as much as wedding planners in other parts of the U.S.

Here’s Why Booking a Planner Is Different

While NYC wedding planners book up just like other wedding vendors, you don’t necessarily need to hire one as soon as you get engaged. Some couples will partner with a wedding planner from Day 1, but others only need the services of a planner as their wedding day approaches. That said, it’s always a good idea to book early even if you won’t need your planner for the entirety of your engagement. If you suspect you’ll want to work with a wedding planner as your Big Day draws closer, reach out to prospective planners ASAP to find out if they’re available around and on your wedding date. If the answer is yes, be sure to also ask about packages, their past experience, and the kinds of discounts you can expect to receive if you choose them. Make sure that the planner you ultimately choose has planned some weddings with a vibe similar to the one you want to have.
