Planning
the Wedding
Many
of times the question is asked how soon should a planner be hired before the
big day? Simple Events always responds the sooner the better. Hiring a planner
before plans go into a shamble is always better. A good planner once hired
early may not be in constant contact with their client but sure does keep an eye
or ear open for their client; letting them know when something interesting appears
on radar. Below are some things Simple Events Planning helps their clients
through when planning a wedding.
Reserve
the Venue
As events planners, booking venues has become a norm
under our company portfolio. We understand what are the process to book a
venue; most times in writing and what contractual arrangements maybe needed. Deeper
into this, we inquire from our clients what ambiance they desire and are able
to advise what are the venues best suited to help them attain that goal.
Photographers and Videographer
A photographer is a person who stills pictures whereas
the videographer takes videos of the moment. Dependent on our client’s budget,
they may need only photographer or only a videographer. If however the both are
needed, they can come from the same company or different persons/companies. Simple
Events advices their clients accordingly to align their budget.
Florist
Does the client want fresh flowers or artificial flowers?
This is the first question that must be asked when choosing flowers. This must
be asked as some brides prefer natural flowers whereas others prefer artificial
as it can last years after their wedding once taken care of.
Carterers
Getting a carter that offers both quality and price is
very hard to find. Simple Events having planned hundreds of events before knows
some of the best in the industry. Therefore we allow our clients to decide what
menu they are comfortable serving on that day and then inform them of carters
that offer services within their budget. They are also allowed time to do their
own research and get feedback from their previous clients before choosing. After
they have decided, our company then makes the bookings arrangements for the
wedding day.
Bartenders
Many
bar tendering services offer both drinks and servers to complement their
services. Other offer only servers and the host provides the drinks. Allowing
clients to voice what are their desires may paint a good enough picture to
advise which bartenders to hire.
Entertainment
The
host may have their designated Dj that would play for the event or they may not
have one either. If they so desire to have that arranged, Simple Events
Planning can arrange to hire a dj on their behalf. Arranging live entertainment
is also arrangements that can be done by our company. Whatever form of entertainment
our clients’ desire, we are more than happy to deliver.

I think it can. But my thing is, why risk it! Why take on that headache on top of the gazillion other things that needs to get done. A "good" wedding planner I think helps bring things together and adds that much needed objective element. They can also save you money as they have a network of suppliers and could get discounted prices.
ReplyDeleteI think it's possible but it depends on the size of the wedding. A small wedding would most likely be manageable by both families involved, however, I would definitely go with a planner for a medium or large wedding.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gail but it also depends on the creative minds of the couple and the family and whether the family is really able to handle the additional stresses and tension that come with all that running around on your own. I say definitely a planner even if on a partial basis.
