When should you consult a wedding planner?
Planning a wedding is a complex task, but there’s nothing particularly fiendish about it. It does, however, take a lot of time, effort, digging, coordinating, negotiating, adjusting, and you have to be aware of the pitfalls.
Think about your ideas for your wedding. Talk about how much time you can dedicate to planning it, in addition to your regular day job. Will you try to do it together, or would you prefer to leave it to a wedding planner? We’ve put together a list of when we recommend hiring a wedding planner.
1. If instead of a long and stressful period, you opt for a happy and enjoyable programme.
Whether your wedding is big or small, wedding planning is a time-consuming task. The market is huge and it takes a lot of effort to research each service professionally. If you want to make the most of your free time after a day’s work, delegate the time-consuming tasks to your wedding planner.
And what’s wrong with your own wedding being one of the best parties of your life?
„We were somewhat surprised to see a huge range of options for everything and felt that it was impossible to choose from the limitless possibilities for each item on the endless wedding list.” [ Évi ]
2. If you’re looking for a confident support for yourself or your fiancée, someone who works for you and who always has the best advice.
While organising a wedding is a wonderful thing to do together, there will be times when you need an outsider to help you navigate the process and represent your interests. At Reflow, we respect tradition, but we don’t want to impose the usual, boring stuff on you. Rather, if you want, we’ll give you creative and unique ideas.
„I believe that excessive expectations, the desire to comply, and the lack of a dedicated support team can cause anxiety. Most people are not event planners, they can’t think of everything and prepare for every eventuality, which is why those who don’t hire professionals are afraid. It’s useless to think that you just have to make a phone call to make sure everything is ready, but that’s not how it works.” [ Gábor ]
„If you work with competent professionals, you can save yourself a lot of unnecessary stress. The wedding planner can save you from stress because they’re prepared for everything. What we despair about, you can solve in a jiffy. All the things we forget, you remind us that we should think about that too, and you share your experience of what should or shouldn’t be forced.” [ Réka ]
3. If you have not yet started organizing and don’t know how to get started. If you have already started arranging it, but are stuck somewhere. Or you are planning your wedding and don’t want to learn from your mistakes.
We understand if you find it hopeless and tedious to spend late nights searching Google and browsing online forums. Google is our friend, because everyone can find what they need there. Does what’s good for others work for you?
„When we first started planning our wedding we were completely confused about how much it takes to organise a really good wedding. We found a long list of items on the Internet and everyone told us different things. It would have been hard to choose on our own. But based on the outline we had sketched, Kinga helped us get what we wanted. The negotiation was quick and efficient. We got what we expected and much more. We didn’t worry about anything on our wedding day either. I constantly felt that everything was under control and we could live in the moment. That’s why it feels like yesterday. We really lived the moment and that is more important than anything.” [ Évi ]
4. When cost predictability and management are important to you.
One of the most important aspects of wedding planning. An experienced wedding planner with a thorough grounding in the market and prices will cost you less than you might pay for some providers if you don’t have the routine and contacts.
5. When you want a team of service providers who are the best fit for you.
„There is also a huge oversupply in the wedding industry, which is difficult to choose from. I had known Kinga from earlier and we were of the opinion that as we had no experience in wedding planning, we would blindly trust what she said. And it was the best decision. She also helped us a lot in choosing the venue. Once we had decided that we had found the venue of our dreams, she then kept coordinating with the venue planner. We chose the decorator, DJ and photographer she recommended. And we got a wonderful venue, a fantastic party and beautiful photos in return. There were no unnecessary detours.” [ Lili ]
6. If you don’t want to be running around on your wedding day with lists, scripts, money envelopes and phones in your ears. Just enjoy the moment.
First to arrive on your wedding day, last to leave. We’ll be watching, making sure everything is in place when you arrive.
„We were confident that when we arrived on site, everything was in place. No need to rush ahead to check the tables, prepare the props. We could show up with the family fully relaxed.” [ Barbi ]
7. If you are planning your wedding from abroad.
No comment. 🙂
„We knew it would be very difficult to organize a wedding of this size (160 people) from across Europe. We asked for Kinga’s help because she had experience in event planning and was familiar with the venues, and we were confident that she had the contacts and could find the best value for money suppliers for us. The fact that we did not have to negotiate with the different suppliers ourselves was a big advantage. Also, on the Big Day, neither we nor our parents had to worry about the programme going as planned. All we needed to do was to enjoy the moment. If any problem arose, we didn’t run to solve it, Kinga took the burden off our shoulders and solved it.” [ Dóri ]
