Why Hire a Wedding Coordinator?

By hiring an AAWP Professional Wedding Planner, you have taken the first step toward having a totally stress-free wedding experience!

Professional wedding consultants plan weddings and receptions for a fee. They design their clients' weddings and receptions to meet their specifications within their budgets. They may plan part of it or all of it; that's up to you. They formulate a plan; carry out the plan; and follow-up to make sure everything runs smoothly. Their fee may be a flat amount or it may be a certain percentage of the total wedding cost, while some consultants are paid solely by the vendors they contract for their clients' weddings, i.e.: photographers, florists, caterers, etc. Many times clients are skeptical of consultants and will ask, "Exactly, what do you do?"

Here are the advantages of hiring a consultant:         

• If you have the money but not the time, a wedding consultant is the solution. They alleviate stress, legwork, aggravation and save time.

• Or, your family may live out-of-town and not be able to help you, making for a very stressful situation (that a consultant will alleviate).

• If hosting a large wedding, 150 or more guests, and you've never planned one before, it's wise to hire a wedding consultant for their experience and expertise.

• Semi-formal or formal, traditional, at-home weddings require a wedding consultant. At-home weddings require tons of planning and work including hiring caterers, dance floors, linens, silverware, entertainment and decorations.... The list is endless. For this type of wedding, a consultant is a must!

• Weddings are expensive. You can't afford to make mistakes, or hire irresponsible vendors, or sign on the dotted line-not knowing if you're protected. A consultant's expertise is invaluable.

• You save money with a consultant. After all, they know the ins and outs of wedding planning, where to cut costs and how to save dollars.

In conclusion, a good wedding consultant offers you experience, answers your questions, calms your fears and plans your wedding logically and rationally within your budget.
