What Does the Wedding Planner Do

Your wedding planner is an experienced professional. They know the ins and outs of the wedding industry. So, they’ll step in and guide you through the entire process, so you’re not left feeling overwhelmed trying to make all of the decisions! 

Your planner will guide you through the logistics and mapping of your day. They will help you determine an appropriate budget, and then they’ll help you manage it throughout the decision making process. 

They’ll more than likely provide you with a preferred or trusted vendor list to help you find the best team to bring your ideas to life! Not to mention, they’ll negotiate contracts for you and handle communications between vendors, too. 

Of course, every wedding planner offers different services within their investments. So be sure to discuss your needs with potential planners before booking with them.

Wedding Planner Duties Leading Up to Your Day: 

Wedding Planning Meetings

Throughout the wedding process, we’ll get together for planning meetings. We’ll go over what you’re envisioning and your ideal wedding aesthetic at the start of the process. And we’ll, of course, establish a budget for the entire day. Your planning team will manage your budget along the way. We’ll have these meetings throughout the planning timeline to make sure everyone is on the same page. 

Helping You Find the Perfect Venue and Vendors

With your budget and ideal wedding aesthetic determined, we’ll start the process of selecting the perfect venue and vendors. You’ll receive a list of my trusted vendors, and I’ll help you make the best decision to fit your personality and your wedding day style. 

Managing the Logistics

Once the venue and vendors are selected, your team will begin managing the logistics. I will handle everything from negotiating contracts to creating a payment schedule. And throughout the process, I will stay in communication with them so everyone is aware of how your day is unfolding. 

Creating the Wedding Day Itinerary

As we get closer to your big day, your wedding planning team will create the wedding day itinerary for you. It will be shared with your venue and your vendor team, so everyone knows the flow of your day.

Is Hiring a Wedding Planner in Toronto Worth It?

Investing in a wedding planner is just one more decision to make as you get ready for your big day. So, how can you be sure hiring a wedding planner is worth it? 

Here’s my advice when it comes to investing:

You Should Invest in a Wedding Planner If…

  1. You have the budget for it. If you’ve already done some preliminary budgeting and there’s space for a planner, then you should definitely invest in one. They will make the process so much more uncomplicated. With many weddings already under their belts, a wedding planner in Toronto will know how to guide you through the process.
  2. You have a demanding job already. If a full-time job is already on your plate, adding a second one will surely take away from what’s supposed to be a beautiful season in your life!
  3. You have incredible ideas already, but you’re not sure how to execute them. If that’s the case, a wedding planner and designer will help you! They’ll understand the logistics behind putting ideas together for a wedding day. And a wedding designer can approach your ideas and your venue with an artistic eye to create a masterpiece.
  4. You’re hosting your day in a unique wedding venue. If you’re considering a space that’s not inherently designed for a wedding, you’ll want to invest in a planner. They’ll know how to transform an event space into the vision you have in your head!
  5. You want the least amount of stress possible. Getting ready for a wedding is stressful. But having an experienced planner is going to make the process so much easier for you.
