Question 1

Why should I use a Wedding Planner?

Accepted Answer

I love planning events, and I especially love helping brides plan their wedding.  Whilst some people enjoy wedding planning, it is okay if you do not. We don’t expect everyone to like accounting. 
With busy lives why not get someone else to do the planning, after all you will only ever plan one wedding. Why not trust someone that has done it many times?

Question 2

Do I need a Wedding Planner?

Accepted Answer

You don't need one, but you might want one! You can of course do the planning yourself and that is part of the fun! But planning a Wedding can also be stressful. 
Our role is to ensure you get the wedding you want, we have no personal agenda or bias. So we don’t mind if Aunty June doesn’t make it onto the invitation list.

Question 3

Can't I just get my friends and family to help?

Accepted Answer

I am sure they would love to help, but you want them to enjoy your day and not be stressed out. They want to enjoy the wedding with you, not spend the day working.

Question 4

What is the difference between a Venue Coordinator and a Wedding Planner?

Accepted Answer

A venue coordinator will assist you in all of the details that involve the venue. Catering, tables, chairs etc.  They are a great resource but they wont be able to assist you with details for other aspects of your wedding. For example selecting your florist, wedding cars and bridal party gifts ideas etc.
