A Do-It-Yourself Wedding is every couple’s dream and nightmare rolled into one. While you can only do as much, putting out so many tasks in your hands can lead to a catastrophic and stressful preparation when handled poorly. One of the things that you MUST invest in is hiring a reliable, efficient, and versatile wedding planner. These are the reasons why a dream wedding is always paired with a good wedding planner.
1. They are god-sent. Period.
Behind every perfect wedding out there is a busy-bee wedding planner. Wedding planners are problem-solvers, they sort out all issues and also foresee how to prevent them. These issues vary from the pre-wedding, the wedding itself, and even up to the post-wedding celebrations. You may not realize it now, but having a wedding planner is like getting a ‘third eye’ at the backstage of your wedding celebrations. They provide the most honest advice and full-time assistance; they simplify things so that tasks can be bearable for you along the way.
2. They are so into detail.
As mentioned earlier, your wedding planner is your ‘third eye’ behind the stage. They take care of all the big and small details of your wedding, from gathering the entourage to finding that one missing candle for your candle bearer. Your wedding planner literally takes on the ‘umbrella’ tasks and roles of your wedding preparations that you may foresee before, during, and after your wedding. They take care of the things that may be minute and non-existent to the couples in their wedding preparations.
3. They are the kings and queens of organization skills.
When you first plan your wedding, an overflow of ideas plays in your mind. These ideas may naturally be unconnected and abstract at first. Your wedding planner sorts out these ideas to make them concrete and feasible ones and gradually execute them from there. Not only do they project their organization skills, but they also supplement your ideas with their creative minds based on their craft and experience.
4. They ease the stress and anxiety that comes from the wedding prep.
Although unavoidable, the service and expertise provided by your wedding planner somehow ease the glaring amount of tasks and responsibilities that come from planning a wedding. For instance, these planners will provide you with a pool of vendors and suppliers so you won’t have to spend so much time scouting for them one by one. Not only do they provide you with connections, but they also take charge of communicating with them. Think of them as a one-stop-shop for your dream wedding.
5. They make everything seem ‘doable’
No matter how much a certain task can seem huge and impossible, your wedding planner divides the labor into bite-sized pieces so you can digest it one by one. All credits go to their training, skills, and experience that will provide you with a service and pool of connections so you won’t have to spend so much time and effort on achieving that dream wedding. They create a roadmap or a timeline of events for the duration of the preparation to avoid cramming and overlapping of tasks. These people manage to take it to step by step as you go near the big day without compromising their quality of service.

6. They will save you a LOT of time.
As you may not know yet, your wedding planner will do most of the talking and negotiation to all your chosen vendors, suppliers, and basically the people involved in your wedding. They spare you a lot of time doing these errands and you’d be surprised to know how they do it even better and faster!
7. They stick and work with your budget.
Wedding planners are also known for being the most resourceful person in the room. They make do with whatever available resources they have (and even more!) without sacrificing your budget. Working on a budget demands careful planning and excellent negotiating skills to achieve the kind of celebration that comes with it. This can be a difficult task so it is best that you leave these in the hands of your professional planner who can adapt to your timing and budget.
8. Results are always guaranteed.
You may want to consider hiring a planner based on the word of mouth – a referral from your friend who was recently a client of the said planner, a famous influencer whose wedding inspired yours, or a family or friend who had been a colleague of that wedding planner. These prior clients and encounters will help you initially assess a wedding planner’s skills, etiquette, and creativity. More often than not, a wedding’s outcome can already speak volumes for the skills that you are looking for a wedding planner.
9. They bring value and distinction.
When you hire a wedding planner, the overall outcome of your celebration becomes more intricate and well-spirited to all the people involved. You will leave your beloved guests with the impression that this is a well-thought-of wedding and that they deserve to be one of the few people who witness it.
10. They make sure that your wedding is truly a celebration.
Your wedding is a turning point in closing a chapter in your life and entering a new one. Naturally, the preparation comes with bombarding tasks and responsibilities. When you invest in a reliable wedding planner, you allow yourself to experience your dream wedding into a genuine celebration and not merely a bunch of tasks and social responsibilities that you just have to get by and get it done. This is the common cause of the wedding journey. The months nearing your big day can make you feel like the preparation and wedding itself is nothing but a chunk of overwhelming work that you have to fulfill in settling down to marriage.
At Mimi Ebichi Events, we uphold the value of making our clients our top priority. We believe that you deserve to enjoy the celebration you worked hard for in and return it by delivering and offering full assistance to all your wedding needs.
