What kind of Wedding Planner do you need…and what’s the difference between them?
When it comes to planning a wedding, there are different types of Planners you can hire and each perform a different role in the planning & execution of your wedding. Here is a breakdown of each:
Full-Service Wedding Planners offer different options, so it's important to know what you will require from your planner. Some planners offer both planning and design, which means they'll help you come up with a unique vision for your wedding and provide the resources to make it happen. Other planners only offer planning, which means you'll have to come up with the design yourself. But what exactly can a full-service wedding planner do for you? Well, they can help you with everything from start to finish! They'll help you create a budget and stick to it, manage your timeline, and recommend and hire vendors. They can even help with designing the event and taking you on venue tours. But that's not all! Full-service planners can also help you with your guest list, invitations, RSVPs, day-of timelines, floor plans, and on-site management. They're there to make sure everything runs smoothly so you can enjoy your special day stress-free. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning, consider hiring a full-service wedding planner. They'll take care of everything so you can focus on enjoying your big day!
So why choose a Full-Service wedding planner? You’re a busy professional and don’t have the time to plan an event. You’ve never planned a wedding before, and you don’t want to get caught up on details or stuck choosing the wrong vendors. The thought of planning a wedding is overwhelming. Attention to details isn’t your strong suit. If any of these are YOU…a full service wedding planner may be what you need.
Partial Wedding Planners are similar to full-time planners; but you only hire them for certain aspects of the wedding. Two main ways they can help you out. First, they can recommend vendors. Since planners know a lot of people in the wedding industry, they can give you a list of good vendors to work with. You'll still have to talk to them and work out the details, but your planner will be there to help with the design and execution. It's a good deal because you get good recommendations and your planner's creative ideas. Second, they can help coordinate important parts of your wedding. They'll be there to support you where you need it most, but they won't have a big-picture view of your whole wedding.
So why choose a Partial Service wedding planner? If you've already done most of the planning but need help with the finishing touches and execution, a partial wedding planner might be perfect for you. They're great for people who want to be involved but also want the help of an expert.
Month-Of Management or the commonly used term Day-Of Coordinators. Despite its name, we actually start working with you months in advance to make sure everything is in order for your big day. Their main responsibility is to make sure everything runs smoothly; they will gather all of your vendor information, organize your timeline, run the rehearsal, and coordinate everything on the day of your wedding. Think of it like having a personal assistant for your wedding day. They will take care of all the details so you don't have to. This way, you can focus on spending time with your loved ones and making memories that will last a lifetime.
So why choose Month-Of Management services? If you have planned all of the details down to the napkin fold, but on the wedding day you want to enjoy it with your beloved, family & friends, hire a Day of Coordinator to ensure the day is run exactly as you planned it.
