Planning Perfection
Why Wedding Planners Are In Demand
Wedding planners are truly the answer to stress-free wedding day
bliss. Bridal Fantasy spoke with several experienced wedding
planners about what their profession has to offer.
What are the benefits of hiring a
wedding planner?
“A wedding planner becomes your confidant
in the wedding planning process; someone
who never gets tired of hearing about your
wedding, is always excited about all the
details, takes your vision and gives it life, and
eases your stress by managing your wedding
detail by detail so that you don’t get
overwhelmed. A wedding planner will be
able to give you fresh ideas that you may not
think of, at the same time giving you creative
options that work within your budget.
Planners have plenty of connections with
and knowledge about your local wedding
industry. They can help you find the perfect
match for everything from your photography
to your décor needs. A wedding planner
knows how to manage the planning details
and meet deadlines and overcome the
family/cultural/religious concerns that may
arise.”

What type of bride could use a wedding
planner?
“Every bride can use a wedding planner! We
are not there just to book your vendors and
coordinate your day. We help you design,
develop, and create your theme, thereby
creating the atmosphere that you and your
guests will remember forever. We go to
appointments with you, ask questions of
vendors that you may not know to ask and
spend tireless hours researching the perfect
details that will make your day originally
yours. We become your partner and friend in
the planning process. What bride couldn't
use another set of eyes and ears during the
planning of one of the most amazing days in
her life?”

What is the most unique thing you’ve
ever done for a wedding as a planner?
“In every wedding we plan, we add special
surprise touches for the couple. This could be
flying in exquisite golden tiger figurines to
use as cake toppers, creating hand crafted
chandeliers for a stunning effect, stringing
handmade lantern garlands above the dance
floor, or providing custom-made snowflake
cookies for favours. We really like to go above
and beyond expectations by adding these
surprises that are much appreciated. The
smiles on the faces of the bride and groom
are worth it every time!”

Are wedding planners expensive?
“The common thought on wedding
planners is that they are very expensive and
are only for brides who have very large
budgets. Every bride can benefit from a
wedding planner; every bride should be able
to afford a wedding planner. Packages and
stand-alone services, like day-of assistance,
can be adjusted to fit any budget. A good
wedding planner will be able to work with
you to come up with services that fit both
your needs and your budget.”
