Why do I need a Wedding Planner/ Co-ordinator ?

Every major event in life, professionals are alway present,'
Midwife to deliver babies.
Priest to Baptise a child.
Surgeon to operate
Licenced person to perform a wedding ceremony .

A wedding involves executing all the planning elements of the wedding together in the timely way. This all can be impossible for a bride to do whilst keeping to her daily routine( which is already overloaded) intact.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few comments from brides who did not use a wedding planner/coordinators

" Its was nice, but i will never do that again"

"Time just ran away with me getting ready ! i was late for the wedding ceremony and as a consequence i had an additional charge to car driver."

" We ran so behind time, we were four hours late to sit and eat , by then the evening guest had arrived!" it was so embarrassing!"

" The venue was not ready by the time guest had arrived, my friend and family were too busy with getting prepared themselves, i will never do this again!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few comments from guests who attended a wedding that did not use a coordinator / planner

" Typical black why are we late for every thing, look how that bride is two hours late!"

" We had to wait ages for our food , i think the compare forgot to call out the table numbers after the number 9 "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are a few comments from brides and guests at a wedding that used a wedding co-ordinator/planner

"This was a beautiful wedding, i can n" I was overwhelmed with emotion but not overwhelmed with stress"
Can't believe how organised it was "

" Every thing was to what i had requested, my dream day "

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are Wedding Planners/coordinators Expensive ?????. Some brides feel they are!. But compared to what!. The Gown. The Reception, The Band. Overall the money spent for the wedding planner/coordinator is a small percentage of the wedding budget ....

To think, what price would YOU pay for peace of mind and positive comments on
your wedding day!
