So we just received a last minute booking for a wedding on August 16th - in less than 2 weeks. We will be co-ordinating the Day of.
This whole wedding has been planned by the Mother of the Bride and she is beyond stressed! Laura and I have been to see her twice now, and both times she is close to throwing in the towel and running away!
This wonderful lady has spent the last year of her life planning the wedding by herself and trying to please everyone around her! The only person she forgot was herself. Isn't the Mother of the Bride supposed to be enjoying the last few weeks before her little girl grows up and becomes a married woman? Shouldn't she be excited and proud, instead of stressed and close to tears??
Laura and I have been given a folder of contracts ( in which are scattered and unorganized) and asked to save the day! Which we will of course :)
It just proves once again, that if we had been hired long ago, we could have planned this wedding along with the MOB and made this past year a happy and stress free time for this whole family.
A lessoned learned too late! At least the MOB can start to relax and let us handle the rest...and we'll do it proudly!

Creating Celebrations of Style, Creativity and above all else LOVE!

found a good article...
Should I Hire a Wedding Planner?
A wedding planner will act as a consultant to help you plan your special day. This consultant is a professional wedding planner that knows etiquette from the socially correct formats through proper planning and organization of your wedding day.As your planner they have the contacts necessary to match you with the right wedding professionals, which are wedding vendors.
Your planner also works with your wedding professionals that you have chosen to make sure all the details are set just the way you want them. The planner will help you organize your dream wedding and keep you within your budget by suggesting ways to make your dollar go the farthest. Since your wedding planner is an independent party, he or she, may often mediate disagreements when you are caught between family disputes and friendly disagreements.
You can afford a wedding planner since it is not an extra expense if you consider the planning part of your wedding budget. Your wedding planner will even be able to save you money by suggesting the appropriate vendors that will provide professional services to accommodate your budget.It is a penny well spent to have a wedding planner overseeing the wedding professionals that you have spent an investment with to insure that your day goes just as you have paid for and planned.
Of course you may opt to plan the entire wedding yourself or have a family member and even a friend to help, which is sometimes part of the fun of the wedding. However, it can also be a huge hassle and a headache especially if you, your family member, or friend does not have the proper professional wedding training that most professional wedding planners have and experienced. In addition to just finding wedding vendors, you'll need to check out sources, make sure all the details are in place, and worry about whether you're getting the best deal, and, ultimately, if everything will turn out right.
A professional wedding planner has the training and experience to do the ground work, and make sure it all works the way you want it to, while you relax and enjoy.
For example, your dress gets muddy if it starts to rain and your fiance is already 30 minutes late and the limo driver has not even shown up yet to bring the officiant to the chapel--what do you do? This is where your wedding planner will see to all of these details without breaking a sweat. She will be able to locate the fiance and ensure he gets to the chapel on time; they will clean your dress with a wipe from their emergency kit; they will track down the limo driver and have a back up limo driver in waiting just in case.The wedding planner will get it done so you don't have to worry. When you hire a wedding planner you know that you are buying quality, service, knowledge, professionalism, creativity, guidance, leg work, a stress reliever, an etiquette expert and a personal assistant and friend.
What could be better than that for the most important day of your life? Just knowing that you were smart enough to hire a wedding planner!
