A woman asked if a wedding planner was necessary in a Reddit thread. As background, there are all different types of wedding planners, depending on size of wedding, your level of busyness, and, of course, your budget.
For example, some couples with busy jobs with long hours and travel may not simply have the time to handle all of the many details that need addressed in planning a wedding.
They are candidates for a full service wedding planner. Same for couples planning out-of-town weddings. Full-service wedding planners take the load off of couples, allowing them to breathe easier and more fully enjoy the run-up to the wedding.
Full-service planners can help create your budget and scout out the vendors right for your unique style. They’ll be with you on the wedding day managing details, allowing you to relax and truly enjoy your big day.
Some couples don’t need that much help, but may appreciate partial wedding planners to handle loose ends they don’t have time to get to.
And then some couples really have things under control, but like help the final month or day of the wedding, again, to allow them to breathe a sigh of relief and have fun.
Finally, some vendors offer venue coordinators to handle in-house logistics.
Lots of options. For your laugh of the day, watch the clip above from the 1991 film, “Father of the Bride,” featuring Martin Short as the wedding planner and the beleaguered Steve Martin as the father of the bride.
Reddit responders spoke highly of their experience with wedding planners.
Here are a few comments:
“Didn’t have a planner for like 80 guest wedding but a day-of coordinator was definitely worth it. Ours came with our venue but it was so valuable to not have to worry about the flow of things during the wedding.”
Another …
“Unless your wedding is very small or super casual, I definitely recommend a day-of coordinator! You don’t want to put those responsibilities on yourself, your mom or a wedding party member – you guys should be free to enjoy the day!”
And one more …
“A partial planner/day-of coordinator was the best decision because it took all the logistics off of our hands so on our wedding day we showed up and enjoyed it and any last minute issues (you will have them) were handled by someone else.”
