When Should I Hire a Wedding Planner?

You just got engaged and imagined you’d be floating on cloud nine but instead are an anxious mess. All of your friends and family keep asking you if you’ve set a date and providing unsolicited advice and preferences. Unfortunately, for many couples this is their reality. This can lead to planning fatigue, a delay of planning or just rushing into wedding decisions for the sake of making progress.

When I get approached by clients it is usually during these 3 scenarios:

1- They just got engaged and want a planner on board immediately

2- I just booked a venue and want help with finding the right vendors and designing my wedding

3- Holy crap! I am getting married in x amount of months and have nothing done. Help!

Many couples may have a great grasp of their style but do not have the insight, time or energy to dedicate to planning a wedding leaving them with wedding burnout and lots of stress. Regardless of whether you are planning on hiring a planner in a full or partial capacity, it will save you lots of time and potentially money to hire a planner as soon as you’ve established a wedding budget. 

TL;DR You should hire a wedding planner (aka me) as soon as you’ve established a budget!
