Today's tip is from Talen Events.


You're engaged! Congrats! Now it's time to sit down and plan your special day! For some of us, freeing up the 250 hours it takes to plan a wedding from scratch can be tough. We get it. If you've ever gone through a day and forgot whether you ate or not, planning a wedding might seem overwhelming. Don't be discouraged: A wedding professional might be just what you need.

In the past, wedding planners were considered a luxury item for the rich and famous but they can be just the person you need to help you stay within your budget and keep your cool along the way. Why? Wedding Coordinators can save you money, take care of an emergency without stress, and be the much needed voice for any vendor, family, or maid of honour disagreement that might come up during the planning process.


Wondering if you need a planner? Do you:

  • Work more than 35 hours a week?

  • Have weekends packed with extra-curricular activities, work-related events or family celebrations?

  • Have a strict wedding budget?

  • Have family traditions you don't know how to blend together?

  • Want a unique way to celebrate your wedding day?

  • Want to know about the affordable vendors in your area?

  • Need help with your negotiations and contracts?

  • Have conflicts that you would like someone else to help you through?
If you answered yes to these questions, a wedding planner might be just what you need! Hiring a wedding planner doesn't mean you lose all rights to planning your wedding. It's still your special day, and any qualified wedding planner will make sure your dream wedding is still the main focus throughout the planning process.
