Is It Worth Paying Out For A Wedding Planner?
In America, many weddings are planned not just by the bride and groom but with the help of a wedding planner
. Wedding planners are becoming more popular in the UK now too. So is it worth paying out for one or can you do the job yourself?
The Pros and Cons
While it's true that you might of course save yourself a few hundred pounds by taking care of the wedding yourself, you also have to bear certain things in mind. Here we take a look at some of the benefits and downfalls to hiring a wedding planner for your big day.
The first of the downsides is the outlay for the wedding planner. However, on the plus side usually when there is a professional planning the wedding, they are good at what they do, and they are able to negotiate with vendors and venues to get the lowest price possible. They may even know places they have worked with before and can suggest venues and vendors that allow them a bonus for sending the wedding party their way. If you are happy to go ahead with their choices you may be able to recoup some of the money spent for the planner.
One of the biggest bonuses that you get for your money when paying out to hire a wedding planner is that you get the majority of the planning, rushing around and hard work done for you. You are not the one getting stressed and having to plan to meet with potential vendors and seeing venues, they are, it is one of the things they are paid to do. This means that you have more time to concentrate on yourself and your family. Wedding planners can make the whole wedding flow along more easily and for this reason alone they may be worth their weight in gold.
On the downside, it may be hard for you to get along with a stranger when it comes to planning something as personal as the biggest day of your life. Will they listen to what you prefer, or just go ahead and do their own thing? Can you work together when it comes to what you want? These are some of the many questions you should consider before rushing into putting your wedding into the hands of a wedding planner.
Finally, if you decide to go ahead and work alongside a wedding planner or even put your entire wedding into their hands, you need to consider wedding insurance. If the planner does not suggest a company you should take matters into your own hands and find suitable insurance, or make sure that they do. Wedding insurance typically covers many aspects of your big day and the run up to it; it may even cover the wedding planner letting you down. It will most likely cover such things as your vendor and venue letting your down, the wedding rings, dress and postponement of the wedding. Insurance could be a financial lifeline when you consider how much you will spend on putting together your big day.
