5 Reasons to Book a Wedding Planner

Jun 8

Whether you're expecting 50 or 500 guests at your wedding, the planning involved requires a lot more than just securing your venue and picking out your dress. You really need to be a master planner or hire one who can juggle the roles of designer, legal team, budget manager, and so much more. When hiring a professional wedding planner, you invest in an organized, detail-oriented, and overall knowledgeable individual. Wedding planners provide guidance on the latest trends and designs to execute your vision into reality. As a premier Chicago event decor and design company, Siblana Events highly recommends investing in a wedding planner for your special day. A wedding planner will help you put together a complete timeline and budget that will include the smallest details that you may have never thought of. They will guide you all along this journey while troubleshooting issues that may arise, often stealthily taking care of little annoying things on behalf of the bride without her knowing and having to stress over them. In a nutshell, here are the top 5 reasons why you should book a wedding planner for your nuptial festivities:

They are Problem-Solvers: In a perfect world we wouldn’t run across any obstacles during wedding planning and on the big day. But of course, not everything always goes perfectly. And that is okay! Imagine your wedding planner as your safety net for your wedding day. If anything goes wrong, they will be able to figure it out, so you don’t have to worry. A wedding planner’s goal is to act as crisis management, whether that is to deal with a wrinkled dress or to find a missing vendor. They will track down late vendors to make sure your deliveries arrive as planned. They will guarantee the floor plan is exactly how you imagined. This can be especially important if there has been miscommunications or last-minute changes before the big day. A wedding planner has seen it all and will be able to guide you through most tricky situations that can arise.
Take Responsibilities Off Your Shoulders: A major benefit that comes with a wedding planner is the time you will save by having all this stress taken off your shoulders. Wedding-related tasks are sure to eat up a great amount of your free time. And time is precious. Wedding planners will do the hard work for you and save you valuable time. Between a job, social commitments, and family, you might already feel like you don't have an extra minute to spare to plan. Hiring a wedding planner allows you to hand off those more time-consuming responsibilities to a professional who can focus solely on making sure the job gets completed correctly. Your planner can schedule appointments, talk with your vendors, and work through the nitty-gritty issues of your day so you don’t have to!
Fresh and New Ideas: Most brides-to-be will spend hours scrolling through Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok in search of fresh inspiration for their wedding. But a planner will have countless brilliant and original ideas for your ceremony, reception, shaadi, sangeet, or any celebration. Many of their ideas you won’t even be able to find online. Whether you want a unique centerpiece or memorable dessert table, your wedding planner will brainstorm something that will knock your socks off. At Siblana Events, we work closely with wedding planners to come up with the most perfect design for each client, creating a theme and look totally unique to each couple. Hiring a wedding planner who is keen on the latest trends and has connections with the best decorators will guarantee the results you are looking for. They will make sure that everything you imagined comes true.
Vendor Connections: Wedding planners work with many professionals in the wedding industry, so they have a wide range of connections to all the vendors you will need for each aspect of your wedding. They can suggest and hook you up with the best, most reliable and creative vendors for your decor, cake, catering, entertainment, invitations, DJ, make-up, photography, videography and more, which means you don’t have to spend hours sifting through Google search results and social media pages to find each vendor that you are looking for. Planners can also assist with your bookings, which can help you save time and money. They can negotiate deals you wouldn't otherwise get since they have ongoing relationships with many key players. Securing a vendor comes with plenty of contracts and paperwork. Wedding planners will read and understand the fine print while maintaining communication and all the planning necessary with each vendor. They will work through any potential issues they may come across. This leaves you more time to enjoy your days leading up to and the day of the wedding.
Staying on Budget and Schedule: Most couples have a strict wedding budget and timeline they need to follow. Wedding planners are professionals and understand how to get the best deals for your wedding. Your wedding planner will help you get the most for your money, while crunching out the numbers and scoring you discounts to get you what you want all while keeping you on schedule and within the budget.

In the end, while hiring a planner may seem like a big chunk of your budget, it's an investment that will pay off in securing the best vendors at the best price and ensure your peace of mind that everything will come together perfectly. You will be able to really enjoy your wedding planning process rather than stressing over it. Plus, with a wedding expert behind all of your decisions, purchases, and negotiations, you will save money in the long run. All of the elements of your wedding will be organized and perfectly pulled together so that you won’t have to lift a finger on your wedding day.
