Event Designer vs Event Planner?

My situation is kinda similar, I have a vision of the overall feel and theme of our wedding, but no clue how to make that happen.

We hired a Wedding Planner first, who helped us find a venue, photographer, bang, etc. Then she helped us find Designer/florist combo. So rather than just flowers, the Florist will also handle working with us for the right colour scheme, signs, table cloths, place settings, candles, other decor, and all the other visual stuff! There were a ton of options for companies in my area that do decor and floral, and for me that was perfect because it is just one company instead of a bunch for all the different aspects of design.

Maybe that's all you would need too?

Either way, I HIGHLY recommend a planner. She has already been so helpful in setting up tours and meetings, reviewing contracts, and sourcing vendors. She keeps everything organized so all we have to do is basically say what we want and she makes it happen!

Hi Maggie! This is similar to the services by wedding planner provided for me!! She helped with vendor recommendations, helped me come up with a coherent vision for all the wedding décor, developed my wedding timeline, and coordinated all of the deliveries and set-up for all my other vendors. She took over and was the person in charge the whole wedding weekend!

I'd recommend reaching out to some wedding planners and asking about the different packages and types of services they offer to see who's the best fit for you!!
