Many people may see an event planner as a waste of money; however, from my own personal wedding and party planning experience I can say a million times over that I would rather have an event planner any day than having to do it all myself for my own event that I want to be having fun at.
Now, I'm not saying all of this just because I'm starting this new business. I'm saying it because both my mother and I experienced this at my own wedding just this past May. As much planning as we did before hand and, even though I had a florist that did the table decor, there were still so many things that my mom ended up having to deal with the day of the wedding!! For example, the dance floor was late getting there, the cake lady sent a horribly ugly cake unlike what I ordered, and the day before the wedding when we should have been relaxing my mother, mother in law, and father in law spent all day putting up lights and tulle to decorate the reception area. Oh, how I wish I had just spent the money to have someone do it for me. Honestly, our time that weekend was worth way more than the little amount of money I would have paid a planner to make sure the weekend went smooth without me or my mother having to worry about it.
Event planners make life easier. That's a simple but very truthful statement. An event planner, especially me, has one priority above everything else...keep the bride, or other host of the event, as calm and stress-free as possible while we, as event planners, take care of every small detail that is bound to come up the day before and day of the event. No matter how large or how small the event there are always going to be things that don't go exactly as planned, but the less the host of the party knows and the more the event planner is able to handle these situations alone then the better. People, brides especially, do not realize all the small details that come up right before the day of the event, and I myself did not even realize until my wedding day. If I had known I had someone there that was handling every little detail while I was enjoying getting ready with my girls and mom I would have been so much happier. Having a planner and coordinator is the ONE thing me and my mom both have said we would do differently if we had the wedding to do over again.
So, even though a planner may seem expensive it is important to at least take the time to meet with one and find out what you need for an event you may have forgotten about and what type of deal you can get. It may be cheaper and more worth it than you think ;) You can always find my contact info on my profile through this blog...email: annaharris777@gmail.com
