Congratulations on your Engagement!
I know you spend hours on Pinterest and reading wedding blogs and bridal magazines and you have a ton of fun doing it and that's wonderful. It's even better that you're so organized! Wedding planners are not there to take away your fun, your vision or your creativity. A planner will however, ensure that your thoughts and ideas are executed the way that you want.
The DIY bride has such a specific vision and has spent so much time creating all of those special touches that represent you as a couple. You need someone who will take your vision and execute as you would. The DIY bride needs a coordinator more than any other type of bride. But why? Because the expertise that goes into creating another person's precise vision is not something you want to put on a friend (because there is no way you can do it that day and not hate life -- and all friends and family that day). It's too much to expect. Wedding planners live for this stuff!
At some point, you will get stressed and overwhelmed and you'll need professional advice, a professional eye and/or professional connections. A coordinator is there to provide these things.
If you're interested in enjoying not only your wedding day but, the entire planning process, a wedding planner should be the FIRST vendor you hire. This will give you peace of mind knowing that you have a professional that is there for you each step of the way. This is an invaluable resource.
A wedding coordinator is your friend, your therapist, your problem solver, a specialist in the wedding industry who is familiar with the wedding world and who works with other professionals in your area. Let us help you!
