Wedding planner and negotiations

Diana, on March 13, 2017 at 17:31 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 7

Lovely ladies and gentlemen... has anyone found that hiring a Wedding Planner saves money up front? We are going to have a day-of coordinator for sure, but I actually really enjoy the planning leading up to the big event. The only reason I'm considering hiring a planner is if s/he can bring down costs. Has anyone had significant savings? Avoided some horrific experiences? I'm trying to justify the costs and finding it hard to do so if it's around administrative and coordination tasks.

    Hi Diana,

    I went with a wedding planner. She was able to save us a lot of money with the food, cake, Dj, video/photo, decor, and the venue. The first 3 were because of her relationships with the vendors, and the last 2 were because of her killer negotiation skills. Lol.

    I would definitely recommend a planner. It's made the planning process a lot smoother. That said, make sure you ask a lot of questions and clarify roles. i.e. What's the planner responsible for, what are you responsible for.

    Hope this helps a little.

    Thanks.

    You will not save the costs of hiring a planer by hiring a planner but they can save you some money... Less value if you have done the heavy lifting... I would love to be able to afford a month of planner we may still splurge once we have spent more of our budget
