The Wedding Planner - Don't Go Without One! - Family

You may take a wedding planner for granted much in the same way you overlook the importance of brushing your teeth after every meal or having good car insurance. You may even regard a wedding planner as an unnecessary luxury. Well, if you are planning to get married and want to hold onto your sanity, then you will quickly appreciate the value of a wedding planner.

If you're in Queensland, Australia, choose a Sunshine Coast wedding venue that supplies a wedding planner as part of their service and you will have someone to take care of all the expected and unexpected events that unfold at your wedding. After all, who else can keep your future mother-in-law in line while making sure the wedding party is in proper position before the musicians finish the prelude to the wedding march? Who else would know that day lilies have that name for a reason or that Wally's Wonderful Wedding Flowers tend to arrive looking a bit wilted? Who can handle a nervous bride and her hovering dad, or dads? Every wedding needs a wedding planner. It doesn't matter how big or small your budget is, there is great value in having a calm voice of experience to be your advocate. You want someone who is determined to make your special day flow smoothly while creating memories that will last you and your family for a lifetime.

Finances are tight for most people these days. And that usually means that something, somewhere has to give. Actually, a wedding planner can help you in this area too. They are often able to negotiate lower prices with vendors. They are also a valuable resource for alternative ideas that can save you money. They may can even alter their prices according to how much of their time and experience you want to use. Some Sunshine Coast wedding venues will even offer you the use of limited wedding planner services for free as a bonus when you book space with them. Even if the wedding planer is not free, the fee depends upon your type of arrangement so you can control the cost.

Typically, with large, costly weddings, a wedding planner is paid 10 to 15 percent of the overall cost of the wedding. This usually includes full services supplied. If you are planning a smaller wedding, you might do best to choose a flat fee arrangement and use the venue supplied by the planner. With other arrangements, the wedding planner may work for free to you but get a kickback from the various vendors they recommend. The cost of a wedding planner very much depends upon your particular needs but you should know there is a way to control the cost so it is within your budget.

What makes a good wedding planner? The wedding planner should have a lot of experience and not be shy about offering opinions based upon it. However, you want a planner that will respect your wishes above all else. Although you should keep in mind that going against the advice of your wedding planner might be a bad move. One bride in particular would be the first to agree with this statement. She was determined to release ladybugs during her outdoor wedding ceremony. The wedding planner knew it was a bad idea but honoured the code of allowing the bride her wish. Rather than flying about in an idyllic fashion as the bride intended, the released bugs began to swarm the bridal attendant, turning the event from a wedding into a B grade horror movie! Wedding planners have to deal with all kinds of unpredictable behavior from brides, mothers, toddler ring bearers, and lady bugs that refuse to fly. They are emergency tailors and family therapists. And to think, if you do not use a wedding planner, all of this responsibility would fall upon you.

Make things easier for everyone on your wedding day. Choose a Sunshine Coast wedding venue that offers a great wedding planner who will relieve you of stress and anxiety while empowering you to pull off the wedding of your dreams.
