At the same time, wedding planners often have relationships with certain trusted vendors. In other words, you may get a 10 or 15 percent discount just because you were referred by your planner.
And this may not seem like a huge deal at first. But when you are booking services that cost thousands of dollars, the savings will really add up.
4. Get Exclusive Vendor Access
You may not know that some vendors actually turn down couples who do not have a wedding planner. This is more common among large and highly-sought after vendors who want to work with professionals and focus on the nitty-gritty of their service.
Still, if you have a certain vendor in mind, your wedding planner may be the key that unlocks access and lands you a contract for your big day.
Similarly, some popular venues do the same thing– requiring a wedding planner or coordinator to even book in the first place.
This may not be of interest to you depending on your budget limitations since you will be spending money upfront. But, if you are dead-set on securing your dream wedding location, then this perk is priceless.
5. Take Back Your Time
After you get engaged, your work obligations, childcare responsibilities, chores, and personal obligations do not just stop. Instead, wedding planning just goes on top of your already-filled plate– spreading you thin and taking away any remnants of free time you had before.
Fortunately, wedding planners can give you back your sanity and help you save time.
We have all heard the saying, “Time is money.” And it could not be more true during wedding planning.
