Why Do You Need a Professional Consultant?
Using the services of a wedding consultant sounds like a good idea, but do you really need one and how do you know which planner is right for you? First, consider the basic tenets about weddings and wedding planning:
Planning a wedding is vastly time–consuming and not as easy as it looks.
Oh, the details! Invitations, vendors, dresses and tuxedos, budgets, food, cake, flowers, contracts, out–of–town guests, in–laws and stepfamilies… the list goes on and on.
Many people will want their opinions and preferences considered – and expect emotions to run high.
You will most likely exceed your budget if not carefully managed.
On your wedding day, the person who coordinates the details will spend the day working, not enjoying the festivities and it is your day to relax and enjoy all the hard work.
Considering These Realities, Here Are Some Guidelines For You To Consider When Deciding Whether Or Not To Hire A Wedding Consultant:
Budget
With weddings for 100 guests averaging about $20,000, managing your budget is critical. Some couples may question whether they can afford a wedding consultant, but in many cases a consultant is an investment that pays for itself.
Here‘s how: Experienced consultants can help you create expensive looks that don‘t cost a fortune. In addition, they may be able to obtain discounts from suppliers and suggest ways to stretch your budget. Furthermore, they are objective budget managers who can help you effectively track and adhere to your established budget.
Location
Have you always dreamed of marrying in a distant, exotic locale? Wedding planning in–town is demanding; from afar it can be a nightmare. A wedding consultant located at your wedding destination can truly save the day.
Timing
When time is short, you need as many helping hands and shortcuts as you can get. Because wedding consultants are specialists, they have many of the resources you need at their fingertips – which saves you time and headaches.

Family Structure
Most families today are a complicated jumble of ex–spouses and step–families, many of whom will be represented during the wedding. Managing the social etiquette of a complicated family tree can be daunting, and experienced wedding consultants are a valuable, independent resource for maintaining protocol for seating, photography and more.
With a wedding consultant on board, you will have the resources of an expert who knows trends, tradition and protocol, and who can help put the pieces together to bring your dream wedding to life.
Once plans are in place, your consultant can handle many of the details, allowing you and your family to enjoy the months preceding your wedding and more importantly, enabling you to relax and enjoy your special day.
You‘ve heard it before – your wedding day truly does go by quickly and you should relish every moment of it. Consider the advantages of hiring a professional to ensure your day runs smoothly. A bridal consultant can be the best wedding gift give your family… and yourself.
