Planning a wedding takes a lot of time, effort and energy? The average wedding takes more than 250 hours to plan. If you feel overwhelmed by thought of planning your wedding or you know you cannot dedicate that amount of time required, or you find that you are lacking in the creative department, struggling to make decisions on colours, venues, guest numbers and more, perhaps you might want to consider hiring a wedding planner.

Develop a detailed budget for your wedding

Select the most suitable site(s) for your wedding

Recommend appropriate vendors that fit with your style and budget

Schedule appointments with vendors

Perform cost analyses of vendor proposals

Organise the planning process in a logical fashion

Understand the flow of a wedding, and develop a detailed timeline for your wedding day, which enables the ceremony, cocktails and reception to run smoothly

Produce floor plans drawn to scale

Provide on-site management for your wedding day – oversee all activities to ensure a flawless execution

This allows you and your spouse to remain the stars at your own wedding, as you are not flustered from making sure the caterer has arrived on time and the florist found their parking space and your Aunt Nina was comfortable in her hotel room the night before.
