The benefits of hiring a wedding planner are such that it normally offsets the cost of the service itself. Plus, it gives you peace of mind and assures you that your wedding will be absolutely wonderful.
Organizing a wedding
Organizing an event requires much time, energy and skills. You need to manage a budget, negotiate with multiple vendors, coordinate them, create the desired décor and ambiance, maintain a schedule, arrange for “plans B”, be able to cope with contingencies and emergencies etc. When applying this to a wedding, all these skills assume an even greater magnitude since this event, this day, is the most important celebration in the life of a couple and undoubtedly the most expensive one.. It is their day and therefore it must be absolutely perfect, without compromise, since it will never return.
Entrust this to fiancés whom it is not the profession comes down to entrust the most important day of their lives to an amateur. Furthermore, with today’s pace of life, the future bride and groom hardly have time to devote to this task. Typically, they both work; they recently purchased their first house; they have a busy social life… In short, they already suffer their lot of stress and don’t have the average 250 hours needed for the organization of their wedding. To put that in perspective, 250 hours represents near 7 weeks of full-time job.
Reasons to choose a wedding planner
In Quebec, wedding planning services are sometimes seen as a luxury that can be neglected in order to save money. The following questions should then be asked:
- “What is the value of my time?”
- “What could I do best with 250 hours?”
- “How much would I be willing to pay to avoid a great source of stress?”
- “Couldn’t I take advantage of substantial discounts by doing business with a professional who has numerous contacts and a volume of purchase higher than mine?”
- “Do I really want to spend most of my wedding day taking care of details and coordinating all of my vendors instead of really enjoying it?”
These are just some of the questions that lead us to understand why the trend in the United States and the rest of Canada turned to hiring a wedding planner in a systematic way. Currently, 1 out of 2 newly engaged couples in places such as California, New York and Dallas uses these services, which should be considered as essential as those of the photographer or the florist.
