Why you should hire a wedding planner | Wedding Planner NC

Many clients who get married have very good ideas about what they want their wedding to look like. But, they often do not understand the details that go into the wedding planning process. There are many reasons to hire a wedding planner in NC, but I always like to tell people, “You don’t know where to start, or what to do and that’s okay. That’s what wedding planners are for!”  

Reason 1: You don’t know what you don’t know! 

I hear couples say all the time that they don’t know what they’re doing. But that’s okay! And that’s to be expected, since you probably have never been married before!  That’s why it’s good to ask for help, and to find a wedding planner who is going to take care of you. And that’s the point. Weddings are big joyous occasions that do take a lot of planning and structure. Wedding planners will take that weight off of you!  

Reason 2: Wedding Planners provide a curated Experience in NC

Wedding planning can be tricky. Coordinating all the different vendors and designing the look and feel takes a lot more work than most people realize. This is where wedding planners come in! They will be able to provide you that curated wedding experience, not only making sure that your wedding looks complementing, put together and beautiful, but also runs seamlessly by making sure all the vendors are where they are supposed to be, when they’re supposed to be there. By choosing a wedding planner, you get to choose your own level of involvement! You could have a hands-on approach to everything, only letting the wedding planner advise you. Or, you could hire a luxury Turnkey Planner, who will literally design and put together everything, and you get to enjoy the day! 

Weddings tend to be stressful, but by hiring a planner, it can be exciting and the beginning of the best part of your life. They will help you bring your unique vision to life, just as Carly Marie Events did for Kate and Marc.

Reason 3: They help coordinate other vendors

Something that I see time and again is when two vendors both need space or something at the wedding venue, and a choice must be made about who gets priority. Wedding planners will organize, and coordinate the interactions of all the different vendors at the wedding so you don’t have to. They make sure your wedding runs smoothly and the focus is on the two of you getting married. Rather than the bride or groom having to run around directing and ordering vendors on what’s supposed to be a day about them. This will allow you to get better and more beautiful pictures, and even better memories!

Reason 4: A Wedding Planner from NC saves the day 

It’s completely true! I have personally seen a wedding planner in NC stop problems from developing, or even diffuse situations before they occur. Often, the bride and groom never know about it until much later! Sometimes, the married couple never knows just how close they were to having their wedding interrupted. And that’s what a wedding planner does! They are in your corner to make sure that your special day runs as smoothly as possible.

Bonus Reason 5: I can help you too!

I often get asked by my clients for suggestions on planners or other vendors I’ve worked with and who I trust. One of the ways I make sure my clients have the best day possible is to help in the planning process. I always send my clients a wedding guide which includes a list of vendors and wedding planners in NC I’ve either worked with, or who I highly recommend to help make your day the most beautiful one possible!
