Planner for Hire

Every little girl has dreamed of the day that she marries her Prince Charming. When love is found, a public declaration of it is a legitimate and wonderful reason to celebrate.

Planning a wedding is one of the most elaborate events you will organize in your life, wouldn’t it be more fun to envision your dream and feel like a guest at your own party and have someone else deal with the details? Enter the wedding planner!

Some may consider this as the “easy way out” or even lazy, but a wedding planner is essential to a well planned event. Hiring a wedding planner saves you both time and money by helping you come up with a wedding that is tailored to fit your individual budget and style. Wedding planners are often given discounts on certain goods and services simply because of their connection and involvement in the industry. A wedding planner does in fact add cost to your budget, but a good planner will help you save time and money almost enough to cover the cost of hiring them.

The best wedding planners have a sense of what the latest styles and trends are and know how to incorporate these ideas into the wedding of your dreams, while staying on budget. They are imaginative and resourceful artisans that can help you come up with creative ideas for your special day. Although you may be organized and perhaps approached by well meaning family and friends for assistance, it is best to leave it to the expert who has broader knowledge and experience in the industry. A professional wedding planner has the training and experience to do the groundwork and make sure everything about your wedding works the way you want it to.

So the question is….why hire a wedding planner? Well…..why not? You’ll be glad you did!

In The Event

Your BIG day is nearly here! The theme is grand, guests invited, decorations abound and you can’t wait to sink your teeth into the tasty menu. Now that the “performance” aspect of your wedding is all set….have you taken care of the “business” aspect?

Your caterer pulls a no-show, your friend Susie discovers she really is allergic to shellfish and is rushed to the hospital, and your celebrity cover band is in Minnesota buried under 14 feet of snow with no hopes of making it in time for your wedding. Sure it sounds like a rare set of circumstances, but they are in fact quite common in the wedding industry. How would you handle events like these?

Protection for your wedding is essential and comes in the form of Wedding Insurance.

Wedding Insurance works much like your auto and home insurance; it is a policy that will protect you financially from misfortunes and mishaps related to weather, illness, injury, absentee vendors and even your honeymoon costs. The average wedding insurance policy costs between $125 and $500, a one-time payment for peace of mind.

The policy does not, however, cover cold feet *wink* wink*

The average wedding in the United States is $27,000.00-would you consider buying a $27,000 car without the proper coverage? Didn’t think so. Your wedding is a special affair and deserves the same financial consideration as your other wedding expenses.

Vendors protect themselves by commissioning non-refundable deposits and having you sign a contract, so it’s important that you protect yourself “in the event” something goes wrong. I hope you have a better understanding of wedding insurance and whether this protection is right for you.
