A wedding planner is a professional who provides wedding services and is available to
assist you with almost every aspect of your wedding preparations from printing the
invitations to arranging quotes and bookings, as well as decorating the venue for the
reception. A wedding planner is also a consultant that can almost act as a couple’s
personal assistant, taking care of as many, or as few, preparations as you deem
necessary. In addition, the wedding planner may also have a network of regular
suppliers at his or her disposal, through which some cost savings can be made.
2. What is a wedding coordinator?
A wedding coordinator is a consultant that manages and organizes your wedding day
plans to put into action using details in a fashionable timeline from time of service to
the timeline of the wedding day ceremony and reception. A coordinator coordinates all
of your vendors, family and bridal entourage into a working timeline that is efficient
and coordinates the time in which everyone should follow so that your wedding day
runs smoothly eliminating stress and offering you peace of mind.

4. Why Do I Need A Wedding Planner?
Personal and Family Complications - It is more complicated now then it was when our
parents were married. More common for couples to marry across ethnic, cultural,
religious and racial backgrounds. More couples have been previously married.
Confusion About Etiquette - Most people are confused about proper wedding etiquette
and procedures. They feel more secure having a professional on the scene.
Not Enough Time - More couples have jobs and their mothers are working outside the
home. This leaves little time for planning and carrying out all the detailed tasks
required to put on a wedding.
Too Far Away - Brides live in another part of the state or country from where the
wedding will take place. They need someone on the local scene to manage the daily
planning details. It is usually a great burden for the bride or groom's parents to handle
it alone.
