Having exhibited at some wedding fayres and talked to brides-to-be, I have come to the (obvious!!!) conclusion that brides-to-be really want to be involved in every aspect of the organisation of their wedding. And there is nothing wrong with this, after all, it is your wedding!!!
However, your wedding day is just one day. It flies quicker than you think and you wouldn't want to miss it by worrying if the cake has arrived in time or the chair bows are all tied up. You and your groom should really spend it celebrating your love together with your dear ones.
This is exactly what a wedding day management service aims to do. You will meet the wedding planner more or less a month before the big day and hand over the contact details of all the suppliers you've hired. You will also talk about how you want the events to unfold and create a schedule for the day. Afterwards, the planner will:
- contact all the suppliers and inform them about the schedule
- keep constant communication with both you and the suppliers
- be present at the reception venue
- co-ordinate the decoration process
- co-ordinate all suppliers: making sure they arrive in time, have a designed area to do their job
... in a nutshel, make sure everything run smoothly, according to the plan (or troubleshoot any problems in case there are any).
So do you really need a wedding planner on your wedding day?
It's your personal choice ... but 78% of the brides having just come through their wedding had wished they had had professional help even if for the wedding day itself (national survey results cited on UKAWP's blog)
