The short answer - no.
Like when you build a house, you can be your own General Contractor. However, working with a professional who does this every day will decrease your stress, increase the fun, and lower the risk that you miss something that you just didn’t know. Wedding Planners also have many industry contacts and relationships made over the years. Their tried-and-true knowledge of the good, the bad, and what will be perfect for you is invaluable.
For more detail on why we think you need one, see the blog post we wrote on the topic!

Everything. It’s really that simple.
Leading up to your wedding or event, Event Planners and Coordinators help plan all of the details. How big should of a tent do you need? Round or rectangle tables? Table clothes or runners on farm house tables? Does the venue have a large enough septic capacity, or do you need a portable restroom? Then, on the day of your event, your Planner executes every detail to ensures your vision comes to life. That way, you can be the party’s host, without having to do all of the time-consuming host duties (refilling the water station, calling tables up to the buffet, plating and serving cake, cleaning up at the end of the night, etc.).

Let’s schedule a call to discuss what you envision for your wedding and we can talk about how our services can best address your needs. Chipping away at things one small step at a time will greatly reduce your uneasiness and frustration.

Yes! Want to lower the stress on your wedding day? Want your <insert helpful family member’s name> to enjoy your wedding? If your parent(s), in-laws, siblings, or really helpful friend spends your entire wedding putting out fires and running around to make sure everything is done, you won’t have any pictures, experiences, or memorable moments with them. And chances are, they won’t have enjoyed the day either!

We think that is awesome that your loved one wants to help create a beautiful day for you! However, we really advise that you or a close family member do not plan to execute everything on your day. It is a guarantee that this person will NOT be able to enjoy the day. They will spend most of the day setting up, cleaning, running around, and doing everything but being present for the day. Don’t put that stress and work on someone that you want to also attend the wedding (or on yourself) because they won’t be able to do both.

We like to say that by the end of the planning process, we feel like we've become part of your family; and that's what we strive for! We want to form a friendship of sorts with our clients so that if decisions need to be made on your wedding day, we know what the right decision will be for YOU. We know who the important people in your lives are to help focus on their needs as well ("Does Nonna need a tissue or help to her table?", "Did Dad get a drink from the bar before his toast?", "Is Mom able to relax and enjoy herself?").
Furthermore, both Katie and Bri are involved in all events leading up to their date and at least one of them will always be present onsite on your event date. We do not send an employee alone who doesn't know you or that hasn't had involvement in the planning process up until that point. We want to ensure that we are knowledgeable about every part of your day so that your event is executed exactly as you had envisioned.
Finally, we don't just walk away after the cake is cut or dancefloor is open. Our team stays until after the formal end of night so that we can help to clean up, pull linens, consolidate décor items, and often turn off lights and lock up. We never want our couples to get to the end of their wedding festivities and have to clean up or figure out how to get their items out of a venue that has a hard cut off time. So we are present to do this for them, allowing them to enjoy their after party or return to their accommodations for the night and relax after a long, fulfilling day.
