Planning a wedding is a lot harder than it sounds. There are many factors that go into planning a wedding including a venue, cater, florist, DJ, videographer, photographer and that’s just the beginning.

There’s also a ceremony site, cake, shutterbooth, transportation, dress, make up, and bridal party attire that need to be taken acre of as well. This doesn’t even include all the extra little things that happen prior to the event, such as, invitations, save the dates, engagement pictures and planning a bridal shower and bachelor/ bachelorette parties.

Bottom line is that weddings are EXPENSIVE!! The biggest mistake most newly engaged couples make is not hiring a wedding planner. Most couples see wedding planners as an unnecessary additional expense for their special day. If only they knew how much a wedding planner could help them during the planning process.

The following are some reasons why it is a smart choice to hire a wedding planner:
