Q5: Should I hire a wedding planner?

A: If your budget allows, a wedding planner can save you time and reduce stress by managing logistics, vendor communication, and the timeline on your big day. Consider the complexities of your wedding day. Are there a lot of “moving parts?” In other words, are there many things that need to be done at certain times, in different locations, throughout the day? Some venues will have a wedding planner who is included. Be sure to ask about this at the venue tour. Ask what this person will be responsible for and what you will need to take care of.
