The Wedding Planner

Why hire a planner when you've been poring over the wedding mags for months and imagined every detail of your big day a thousand times? Because even the most organised brides can hit snags and require some specialist advice, that's why. Planners are focused totally on the minutiae of the event, and keep up with all the latest trends. It's like having a fashion designer sort out your wardrobe.

Apparently, four out of five weddings go over budget, so it makes sense to let a planner look at your available cash and ensure that it goes further. A planner will also have the know-how and contacts to negotiate some great deals for you with venues, caterers, florists and so on. They'll do the ringing round, net-surfing and price comparisons while you get on with the romantic stuff. Also, a good wedding planner will help you plan your theme for the day and ensure that you look both beautiful and on trend.

Your planner will project-manage the whole event and keep you informed of progress made and deals struck, plus sorting out payment with suppliers on your behalf. This frees you up to go to work, go on a diet, go out drinking, go to a spa, or go weak at the knees thinking of your groom! And on the day itself, your planner will  have arranged everything so well (we hope) that all you need to do is say 'I do.' So consider the planner's fee as money wisely invested.
