Top 10 Reasons Why You Need A Wedding Planner

When people get engaged one of the first questions that comes to mind (after the excitement of getting engaged fades and reality sets in) is "should I hire a planner?" The answer is, YES. If just for sanity's sake alone, you should hire a planner! Even though I am a planner and one of the owners of b. The Boss Events here in Houston, I still hired a planner for my wedding. Needless to say, you need one. Even if you are the do-it-yourself kind of person it is still good to at least have someone there for the rehearsal and for day of planning. Here are 10 reasons why you need a good planner:

1. For Listening to your ideas, then suggesting what works for your budget and style. (Let's face it most grooms don't want to hear nor care about the fact that you found really awesome gold chargers for the place settings!)

2. Helping out with just one or two specific tasks, if that's all you need. Such as scouting out reception sites, tracking invitations, or finding a minister.

3. Recommending Vendors (florists, bakers) who will serve your needs best. Planners can also help you find these venues and vendors at a discounted rate or industry discounts and hook-ups.

4. Acting as the contact person between you and your vendors, from the contract signing to the I do's. Your planner can keep track of your contracts, remind you of payment due dates, and inform your vendors of any changes or additions.

5. Getting great deals from vendors with whom the planner works with regularly. Your planner's relationship may mean price breaks (see #3)

6. Overseeing your wedding day. Your planner will manage a timeline, make sure every detail is in place, and handle any emergencies, so that you can just relax and enjoy your day.

7. Carrying and emergency kit (with safety pins, asprin, water, etc.) This really comes in handy. At b. The Boss Events we know that life happens so we always come prepared!

8. Mediating if things get tense between you and your mom or you and a vendor.

9. Helping you get your legal documents in order (birth certificates, marriage license, etc.) Even after the wedding, we can help you with name change forms and documents in order to make tat process go as smoothly and stress free as possible.

10. Arranging a ride to take you to your wedding-night hotel or airport.
