10 Top Reasons For Hiring A Wedding STYLIST and COORDINATOR..
1. It removes some of the stress associated with the big day:
Weddings involve so many details and brides can easily get stressed out by all the decisions to be made and lists to be checked off. A process that started off fun and exciting soon evolves into an overwhelming mountain of things yet to be done – and an exhausted bride. Rather than running yourself ragged and causing conflict with those around you, invest in a good coordinator who will listen carefully to your vision and makes sure the important details are taken care of. The bride, groom and their families should be guests-of-honor on this important day and not workers in charge.
2. You don’t want to spend hours finding suppliers and trying to figure out who is trustworthy.
A professional wedding coordinator is experienced in working with some of the best vendors in their area. Over time they have developed relationships with reputable vendors whom they have worked with in the past. They are also able to choose vendors who fit well with your style, budget and time-frame.
3. You need help making your vision a reality.
A good wedding coordinator will listen carefully to what you envision and will offer ideas and advice. They will ask questions to identify your personal style and what type of mood you want to evoke at your marriage celebration. They are also continuously looking for new ideas and can inform you about the latest trends in colors, flowers, formal wear and decorations.
4. You need someone to represent your interests – not that of the venue or vendor.
Some brides assume that the assigned “vendors” at their venues will make sure all the details of their wedding are taken care of, but are horrified when they either don’t show up, or send someone they have never met in their place! This happens far too often, esp. with vendors who schedule more than one event during the same day. The coordinator represents the interests of the venue and not the client. They are responsible for calling the florist if their flowers have not arrived, finding the missing cake topper, or assist any special requests of bride and groom as long they are possible..
5. You don’t want to worry about forgetting to plan or pay for something.
For most brides this is their first wedding and they are overwhelmed with the pages of “to do” lists. Many stay up nights wondering if they will forget some important detail. A wedding coordinator will help you prioritize those details that are most important to you – and steer you away from things you do not need or want to include. They will help keep track of what has been done and what still needs to be done. Since they do planning for a living and are highly organized, they will make sure things get done in a timely manner. Even last-minute changes will not rattle a good coordinator with a back-up plan.
6. It will save your relationships with friends and family:
Your mother or a favorite aunt may have offered to help coordinate or plan your wedding as her “gift” to you, but what do you do when she starts taking over and ignoring your vision or time table? This is where a coordinator’s expertise can defer conflicts by being the voice of reason in the midst of emotional drama. They will listen and keep everyone focused on the overarching theme and priorities expressed by the bride and groom.
7. You simply don’t have the time:
Some brides have very tight work, school or family schedules and do not have the time to think of or follow up on every detail. A wedding coordinator acts as your representative – running errands, following up with vendors, and making sure all the people in your wedding know what they are supposed to do and when. You can concentrate on looking beautiful and enjoying your day.
8. Your wedding is out of town:
You may have moved away from home and are now returning for your wedding – or have chosen a far off destination to exchange your vows. Hiring a wedding coordinator is like having a local representative to do the leg work for you. They will work as your go-between to broker the best deals from the best vendors in the area. They will represent you at all vendor meetings and can even arrange for lodging and entertainment for your guests.
9. You have a small budget:
Hiring a professional wedding coordinator seems like an unnecessary added expense – but it will actually help you save money in the long run. The coordinator will work with you to set a budget and help you stick with it. By understanding what is most important to you, they can help you set priorities and cut out extras. They can also shop around and get the most reasonable contracted price from reputable vendors. The way how coordinator haggling discounts for your vendors, it’s the same way like getting more chances of extra to save cost for your coordinator’s professional fee. If you’ve already done all the planning yourself, hiring a partial service or day-of-coordinator cost less than full planning, but will give you the added assurance that all your plans will be carried out.
10. Planning a wedding is just not your thing:
Not all brides are fond of or gifted in the area of planning. If creating lists, picking out colors, and going to food tastings drive you crazy – hiring a coordinator could be your best option. This is what they enjoy doing and they know what to ask to get a good idea of your personal tastes to create a wedding that reflects you and your groom’s personality.
A BLESSED WEEK EVERYONE..ESPECIALLY TO THE BRIDE-TO-BE
