We love meeting with a couple, assisting them in planning their wedding, getting to know them and finally to watch them say “ I do”, it truly is the most beautiful part! Helping them create every part of their wedding, a wedding that they envisaged from the beginning. We can’t explain the emotional feeling that comes with this and the amazing sense of achievement.
Working in the industry and meeting so many couples, we realised over time that some couples need a wedding planner but ALL couples planning a wedding need help, support and advise and it just so happens that this is our forte, what we love doing and without a doubt, it is our passion.
We have a number of services designed to suit any couple at all stages of their wedding journey. We as a team have over three decades of experience in everything that is weddings; we have worked as wedding co-coordinators, wedding planners along with opening private wedding venues and hosting weddings on a daily basis.
We have arranged over 1000 weddings between us. We would like to think that this gives us the right to call ourselves experts of the wedding industry, anything we do not know, we have built a close relationship with other suppliers in the wedding industry, that do know.
Initially, we called ourselves “Wedding Planners” but over the years we realised essentially, this was not what we were renowned for or why couples contacted us. We are contacted by couples who are at different stages of their wedding planning process and for very different reasons, however, the resounding reason was, they needed help, they needed advice, they needed support, So Wed Advisor became our thing.
Absolutely, however by meeting in person, we can quickly establish the type of wedding a couple have in mind and work together towards that.
We are meeting with more people remotely but hope to see all of our couples in person very soon.
What does a Wedding Planner do?
First and foremost, a wedding planner is responsible for the planning and the logistics of your wedding. This includes finding and securing a venue, which is an important first step as all of your suppliers will be asking where and when the wedding is. A wedding planner will also source said suppliers for things such as the catering, entertainment, and the flowers. They are also responsible for the scheduling of the day, to ensure there is enough time allotted for each element of your ceremony and reception. All in all, a wedding planner is there to make sure the day runs smoothly and that your vision comes to life.
How much does a Wedding Planner cost?
The cost of a wedding planner will depend on several factors. For example, the size of the wedding and the location.
What to look for in a Wedding Planner
A wedding planner should be highly organised, especially when they are in charge of the timings, managing the budget, and the logistics of the whole day. Aside from this though, they should be someone who is a great listener. They should be highly experienced in wedding planning, and be able to problem-solve. Most of all, they should possess the ability to put you at ease, especially as their job is to take away the stress for you.
Different types of Wedding Planners
Not all weddings are created equal! Depending on what you had in mind for your big day, you should opt for a wedding planner who specialises in the level of help you need.
How to check your Wedding Planner’s credentials
There are no qualifications that a wedding planner has to have to be able to operate. It’s something that anyone can do. So, the best way to check if they are the right fit for you is to have a consultation with them. Be sure to do your research, check their reviews, and have a look at the weddings they have planned previously to get an idea of what they could achieve for you.
How to plan a wedding
While your wedding planner will be taking care of the finer details for you, it’s still a good idea to think about the kind of day you want.
For example, the size of the wedding, colour schemes, what type of flowers, and the overall theme. There are a lot of decisions to be made so it can be helpful to talk with your partner beforehand about what you both envision. That way you can be on the same page with your wedding planner right from the start.
Also, be sure to inform your wedding guests of the date of the wedding at the earliest opportunity, so that they have time to arrange transport or book the time off work.
Do Wedding Planners save you money?
Wedding planners are there to help you organise your big day, and so compared to making impulse purchases because you’re stressed or simply don’t know what you want - absolutely!
It’s also possible to find a wedding planner that specialises in budget-friendly weddings too.
Remember, while they are doing all of the planning, it is still you who is in control. Your wedding planner will work with you to create a budget and present the costs to you before they go ahead and book. If the budget is the absolute priority for you, then you should stress this from the start.
Are Wedding Planners worth it?
Yes! After all, you only get one wedding day and so it needs to feel like a special occasion for both of you. Plus for all your family and friends who will be attending too. Given most people are new to planning a wedding, having a professional take care of everything for you can result in a day that far exceeds what you could have achieved alone.
Even if you already have an exact vision in mind, bringing that to life can be tricky, especially if you lack time or expertise in planning and logistics. Having a consultation with a wedding planner will shed more light on what they can create for you, which will help you get a clearer picture as to whether a wedding planner is right for you.
Can Wedding Planners help with the dress?
Choosing a wedding dress is one of the biggest decisions for the whole day. Understandably with so much choice out there, it can be tricky to find a dress that ticks all the right boxes. While the ultimate decision is up to you, a wedding planner can help you source the best bridal boutiques and arrange a fitting for you. They can also help source outfits for the groom as well as bridesmaids dresses.
Can I get a Wedding Planner online?
Absolutely! From choosing your dream venue to finding the perfect musician to play while you walk down the aisle, there's nothing stopping your wedding planner from planning your big day from afar.
