Do you really need one??????
"...the role of the wedding consultant is that of a facilitator, mediator, money manager, artisan and constructor of dreams." If you've ever been a bride, a groom, or even a bridesmaid, you also know the kind of stress planning a wedding can bring about. Add to the above description, therapist, sounding board, mediator, and even punching bag, figuratively of course, when frazzled nerves come into play.
On a daily basis I'm making sure that those things that have to happen on my timeline have been accomplished. Closer to the event date, I create a day of event timeline. The greatest part about this job is that no two days are alike. A day can be as mundane as going over contracts to ensure brides are getting the most for their money, or as crazy and fun as getting a mani-pedi with my bride because I want us to have a bond. You are with them the longest, so the bond must be great. Essentially, it is your responsibility to be the bride's best friend.
We will help you stay within your budget. Many couples go over budget because they aren't sure how a particular cost fits in with the big picture, or are easily swayed by costly upgrades from their vendor. A good wedding planner will help you determine what is necessary for your budget.

They will give you peace of mind that things will get done. Knowing that you have an advocate there coordinating your day allows you enjoy the moment and be a relaxed guest at your wedding, not a stressed-out problem solver.
There is a perfect wedding planner for every person and every budget. Just make sure that the planner understands your vision for your wedding, and if it's a good one, they'll stop at nothing to make sure your wedding day is the happiest day of your life.
