Why choose a wedding planner
Nearly every couple I have planned a wedding for says the same thing:
“I have never done this before, I do not know what to expect”
Planning a wedding is a mixture of feelings – It is the most special day of your lives, yet it is also very costly – both in terms of the actual time it takes to get everything organised, money and stress levels
Hiring a wedding planner can be the best move you can make
One of my happy couples
By hiring me as your wedding planner I will:
- Save you money (usually more than my fee)
- Craft you a creative and beautiful wedding day
- Listen to what you want, not what everyone is telling you that you are going to have
- Do the legwork for you, saving you days and weeks of time
- Give you a stress free and smooth ride
- Stop you walking straight into the usual wedding planning problems
- Organise everything for you efficiently and on budget
- Make sure that everything is organised and done in the right order
It sounds too good to be true
I am a very plain speaking straightforwards person.As your wedding planner I will tell it to you how it is. Any deals or reductions in price I negotiate for you, are passed on directly to you. I am very transparent, and very independent. I have organised countless weddings, and I know the wedding industry backwards.
I have 1000′s of ideas and ways of making your wedding day to be the day you dreamed of. Call me today, and speak to a person that listens to you, you will be really surprised how easy everything can be
Are you feeling overwhelmed?
Weddings are very stressful to organise. Not only do you have to sort all of the logistics, you have to get creative, find suppliers for all of those impossible things to find… to top it all your families are pulling you one way and another. Knowing where to go, who to speak to, what to do next can be very daunting and time-consuming. The bigger the wedding, the more there seems to be to do
We can help. Hiring me as your wedding planner will sort out most of these issues in one phone call. I cant promise to 100% sort your families out, but having a wedding planner actually makes most of the more assertive family members back off and leave you to enjoy your engagement
As your wedding planner I will do absolutely everything you want or need me to sort out. We find venues, marquees, caterers, coaches, bouncy castles – anything! We make sure the day runs smoothly, we make sure the run up to your wedding is relaxing and enjoyable
Some things not to do?
I know that most couples find out the hard way that the wedding industry is just that – an industry. What seems to be perfect, turns out to be restrictive and limited. Weddings are about romance, families, dreams the future… As a wedding planner, it is nice to deal with the “industry” for the couple and ensure that only the best, honest and most talented suppliers are used
- Don’t book a venue, or any other supplier at a wedding fayre. Venues and suppliers spend a fortune looking at thier best at a wedding fayre, you need to find out the reality first. Wedding fayres are great for ideas, and to get a feel for a company. Meet the people listen to what they are saying, but make your decisions in the following days after a little more research has been done
- Don’t book a venue or supplier without seeing ALL of the fine print
- Don’t be bullied into the “our preferred supplier is… ” issue. If you want your Aunt to do the flowers, thats fine
- Don’t let your families push you into the day they want (rather then the day you want)
- Don’t forget your budget. While all the big things add up nicely, all the little things can cost a fortune too
- Don’t forget that a “package” at a hotel or venue, is often a formula that increases the profits for the venue – i.e. it reduces thier work effort whilst increasing what you are paying
What should we do?
Well apart from calling me… do take a step back and write down exactly what it is you want from the day – what is important to you as a couple, not everyone else. Too many couple try to have the dream wedding of their friends or family. Do insist on having what you want, and not what you are told you can have. We don’t do inflexible here at Creative Wedding Planning!
What will you do for me?
As little or as much as you need or want. As your wedding planner I will usually start by having a long discussion with you, finding out exactly what you want and need. We will bounce around lots of creative ideas. I will then find you the perfect venue and suppliers. and begin organising all of big and small things to make the day perfect
