Now, I know you’re swamped with choices – from picking the perfect venue to deciding whether Aunt Linda’s 7 kids should get an invite. But here’s a little secret – you don’t have to do it alone.  Amidst all this, there’s one decision that can truly make or break your wedding experience: hiring a wedding planner. That’s why every couple, including you, deserves one! 

Many might think of a wedding planner as a luxury, but in reality, they’re an indispensable part of your journey to the altar. Whether you opt for a full-service planner from the start or someone to fine-tune the final touches, the expertise of a professional is invaluable. Imagine having a dedicated expert instead of relying on Aunt Sally or Cousin Sue, who let’s be honest, just want to mingle and enjoy the day. 

At Moonstruck Events, we’re more than an organizer, we’re your advocate, your strategic advisor, your most enthusiastic supporter and your wedding planning bestie. With our skilled guidance, the complexities of wedding planning become manageable, allowing you and your family to savor every moment of the wedding weekend. 

Here are our top 6 reasons why you should hire a professional planner to assist you in planning your wedding. 

1. Streamlining the Planning Process

There are hundreds of decisions you and your partner have to make when planning your wedding. It’s easy to quickly have decision paralysis. And let’s be real, this is likely the first time you’ve planned something this large with this many elements that need to come together harmoniously. So why put that added stress on you when you likely juggling other life responsibilities (full-time job, school, moving, children, etc.)?  That’s where we come in. A wedding planner streamlines the planning process, taking the overwhelming task of coordinating multiple vendors, timelines, and details and transforming it into a structured and enjoyable journey.

You brought the “WOW” FACTOR to a whole other level. I highly recommend working with Courtney and her team— the level of detail, organization and support they provide at Moonstruck Events made wedding planning fun and stress free. More than 5 stars is deserved to this dream maker and her company!” -Michelle and Justin, The Meekermark

5. Guides You Through Essential Wedding Etiquette

Whether it’s the intricacies of wedding invitation wording or the nuances of who to invite to your rehearsal dinner, a wedding planner is well-versed in traditional protocols and can navigate you through them with ease. While it’s possible to scour the internet for wedding planning advice, nothing compares to the personalized, stress-reducing counsel a wedding planner provides. They offer not just answers, but tailored advice on the most appropriate and effective ways to orchestrate your wedding. With a professional planner, you gain access to a wealth of knowledge and experience that ensures your wedding adheres to classic etiquette where it matters, while still allowing your personal style and preferences to shine through.

6. Allows You To Enjoy The Day

On your wedding day, the priority should be to fully immerse yourself in every beautiful, fleeting moment. Entrusting a professional allows you to relinquish the reins and revel in the joy and love that surrounds you. It’s about giving yourself permission to be in the moment, rather than preoccupied with the logistics of the day.

Your wedding party and family can also enjoy the day without being burdened by concerns over whether the cake baker has arrived, if the escort cards are alphabetized, or if the reception space reflects your envisioned ambiance. They shouldn’t have to switch between celebrating and coordinating; a wedding planner ensures that everyone can stay focused on the celebration.

Even if a planner is involved only in the final months or weeks, their presence can make a significant difference. Remember, your wedding isn’t just another event—it’s a personal milestone.
