Month of planner?? Videography?? Yes or no??

Ashley, on February 23, 2022 at 12:56 PM Posted in Planning 11 8

Do you guys believe month/ day of planner and videography is an actual must? I am debating getting a planner i really dont want anyone in my family or guest to have to stress about anything and I want someone to be the point of contact in case anything goes wrong, Am i just overthinking? Do i really need one? Same for videography is the video really worth it or a waste of money?

    A videographer is optional. A month of coordinator is a must have! Rearrange your budget however you need to to make room for one. You can find them in your area on Instagram.

    Day-of coordinator is a must imo! Mine has been super helpful already and my wedding is still 3 weeks away. It only cost me $850 and worth every penny. I feel rest assured that my family and friends can relax and have a great time without stressing over any detail.
    As far as videography, that's a personal preference. We decided to just have a photographer. We just decided it was an extra expense we didn't really need or want.

    Both of these are personal preferences. I have four days off a week and am very Type-A so a month of coordinator is unnecessary for me, BUT I do have a day of coordinator - our venue actually provides one (full day of coordinator, not just venue related things) with our contract.

    With videography, I knew I wanted it from the get go, I want to be able to hear my grandpa give the blessing when he's gone, or see his grandparents dancing, we know that our loved ones wont always be with us and I loved the fact that we'd have those video memories, instead of just stills from the photographer. It was non negotiable for me, even though my fiance wasn't sold on it (he's since come around after a couple family members passed).

    I don't think I would be surviving this without my coordinator!

    I personally think videography is worth it. but if you've got a great photographer and you do not have the budget for video then it IS ok to skip out

    I would always recommend a month/day of coordinator - ours kept everything running smoothly, she was amazing.

    As ar as a video goes, to each their own, but we didn't prioritize it - most people watch them a few times and then put them away never to be seen again - we didn't see spending all that money on video we wouldn't watch.

    Most definitely yes to the month of planner. I'm 60 days out and partly wishing I would have booked my planner for full wedding planning services. There is so much you have to do as a bride, you will welcome the assistance and it will be a huge relief to you.

    I almost did without videography, but at the end of the day, you'll miss so many things on the day of, having the videography will just add to your lifetime memories. I'd say if you can squeeze it in the budget, do it! I don't know anyone who has regretted it.

    I don't think either one is an absolute must, but both are certainly nice to have if they're in your budget. If you only have room in your budget for one, I'd probably prioritize the videographer since you'll have those video memories forever, though I think the day of coordinator would definitely be more helpful for day of the wedding.
