5 Questions To Ask Yourself When Planning Your Wedding.

Planning your wedding can be an exciting experience, but it can also become a real headache. Between selecting suppliers, managing guests, and dealing with last-minute surprises, it takes a lot of time and energy.

Leaving the planning of your wedding to a wedding planner can completely change this experience.

One who will relieve you of stressful duties and let you enjoy the excitement of the planning process.

Before you start the planning process, take a moment to ask yourself these 5 essential questions….

Who will manage those late guests arrivals and adjust your ceremony start time?

There’s almost always someone running late, sometimes even a close family member. So what do you do then? Start the ceremony on time? Wait? Delay the entire timeline?

Someone needs to make that call… But that someone shouldn’t be you.

On your wedding day, you shouldn’t be checking the time or wondering where people are. Someone else should handle it, calmly and quietly, whilst you stay relaxed and focused on the moment.

That’s the role of a wedding coordinator who handles everything behind the scenes to ensure your day runs smoothly and you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Who will manage the timeline when things run behind so you don’t stress?

Let’s be honest, even with the best planning, things don’t always go exactly on time. Maybe a speech goes on longer than expected, the hair and makeup takes a bit more time, or the photographer needs extra minutes to get the perfect shots. Sometimes a vendor arrives late, or guests take longer to get from the ceremony to the reception.

These things happen, and they’re totally normal. But when the timeline starts to slip, someone has to step in and make quick decisions. If no one is managing this, it can easily turn stressful. And  that person usually ends up being you, your mum, your sister, or your best friend and that’s simply not their job.

That’s why having a professional wedding coordinator is so helpful. So even if things don’t run perfectly on time (and they probably won’t), you’ll never know because it’s all being handled for you.

Who will coordinate your first dance with the DJ and photographer?

Your first dance can be one of the most emotional and beautiful moments of the day.

So, who will make sure everything is ready before you step onto the dance floor? If no one’s in charge, you might end up checking if the DJ is ready, looking for your photographer, or waiting around while everyone figures things out. And that’s definitely not how you want to feel at that moment! 

These may seem like small things, but they actually make a big difference. And most couples don’t even think about who’s going to bring it all together. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes tasks that no one talks about, but it’s really important.

Who will repurpose your ceremony flowers for your reception while you’re enjoying cocktail hour?

Flowers are often a big part of your wedding budget, and they deserve to be enjoyed more than once!

The truth is, many couples choose to reuse ceremony flowers for the reception. You have to think about who will move all these flowers.

Who’s doing that? Who knows exactly where everything should go? Who’s careful enough to move the flowers without breaking anything or leaving petals everywhere?

You’ll be busy taking photos, enjoying cocktails, and hugging your loved ones and not moving flowers. If no one’s in charge, the flowers might not get moved at all… or they end up in the wrong spot.

Who will make sure you actually enjoy your wedding day?

This might be the most important question of all. The whole point of your wedding is to create unforgettable memories, not to worry about logistics or stress problems.
On that day, your only job should be to be present, feel everything and have fun. Everything else should be someone else’s responsibility.

If you answered “me” or “my family” to most of these questions…

Then you might want to consider hiring a professional Wedding Planner or Coordinator.

Your only job on your wedding day should be to make memories and enjoy every moment.
