Top 5 reasons to use a Wedding Planner

Why use a wedding planner? Most Brides and Mothers of the Bride will begin the planning process without even considering using a planner. "I can plan this myself without incurring the planner's fee" is a common initial thought and comment we hear. What they don’t realize is that the
Average wedding takes over 300 hours to plan, and costs $30,000 (in the Dallas area). Even though these are averages, those numbers are staggering. A trained and reputable planner will most often:
-Receive preferred vendor discounts
-Negotiate better package/pricing rates
-Provide creative suggestions to make the most of your budget
-Suggest and provide proven quality wedding vendors
Wedding vendors are motivated to make sure they go the extra mile and provide quality service when a wedding planner is involved because they realize repeat business is what is at stake. In addition, you must remember that not all vendors are reputable - despite their claims. Experience and proven results are your best defense - and a wedding planner brings that to the table. When you consider what a planner can save you, its minor in comparison to spending thousands on a one time event and "hoping for the best". Shenanigans brings not only confidence and organization to your plans, but also a genuine concern and desire to help you achieve the day of your dreams!
