Why Should I Hire a Wedding Planner?

Why Should I Hire a Wedding Planner

You’re engaged! Congratulations! Whether you've been dreaming of your wedding day for as long as you can remember or you can barely wrap your head around all the wedding vocabulary, the first few weeks and months of being engaged are fun and exciting. Then wedding planning reality sets in. Where do you even begin to plan? Where do you find the time? And does everything have to be so complicated?

This is where a wedding planner can be a massive help - whether it’s for the big tasks or the tiny details.

If you’ve already chosen a wedding venue which comes complete with it’s own in-house wedding coordinator, you might be thinking you don’t need another professional service. However, there’s a massive difference between the two.

Venue coordinators are tasked with all of the aspects of your wedding which involve the venue - set up, logistics, deliveries, it’s a great package. But it’s not the whole package. A wedding planner works for you and not the venue. We are wrapped up in every aspect of your big day and beyond, from those first few design ideas to the sending out of the thank-you cards.

Here are just a few other reasons you might consider hiring a wedding planner...

To Save You Time

On average, it can take up to 250 hours to plan a wedding. Between full-time work and wanting to spend time enjoying your engagement, it can be a strain. So whether you want to delegate a few hours of annoying admin or offload the majority to a professional, hiring a wedding planner to do it for you is definitely worth considering.

To Reduce Stress

Planners know the wedding industry. We know all the right questions to ask suppliers, we know how to schedule a wedding weekend without missing a trick, and we know who to ask for what you want. It takes the burden away of having to think about every single aspect of the wedding including contingency planning for things that could go wrong.

Here at Benessamy, we plan events with creativity, dedication and care, combining meticulous organisation with unrivalled detail and an incredible guest experience. I like our clients to savour and enjoy the best parts of planning while we take care of everything else. Throughout the process, we’ll be on hand ready to listen, advise, and support.

To Help You Get Value For Your Money

With our experience and contacts within the industry, we can advise you on the best ways to achieve the wedding of your dreams within your budget envelope or financial comfort zone.

"We had a big wedding for 200 people in a marquee at home, and it had become clear to me that I was going to need a lot of assistance with logistics and sourcing certain things. How do you get a water supply into the middle of a cow field for example? Which is the best agency to use for staff? I also really didn’t want to spend the actual day stressing and troubleshooting. Val was amazing from the get go. She has great contacts and asks all the right questions. She listens and then does everything she can to make your ideal scenario a reality. She is super calm under pressure, never stressing or worrying. Without her, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the day as much as I did. Hiring Val was probably the best decision I made." - Lilly
