I've personally attended events where there was a hired event planner vs. the family running around trying to manage the event themselves. While you will definitely save money to do it yourself, you also lose the ability to enjoy the day and be in the moment. You'll need to outweigh the benefits of hiring a planner, to the benefit of saving money.
One particular event I remember attending without a planner, resulted in chaos over the seating for the meal, and setting up for the meal prior to the event. No one was designated to do this and bridesmaids and family friends were running around trying to learn how to fold napkins in an elegant manner, and deciding who should sit where. When the event day arrives, it is so nice for the family to be able to sit back, relax, and know that the event details will be handled by a planner so that they can enjoy the day. Events can be stressful enough, with all of the preparation and expectations, so why not hire someone to greatly reduce the stress of the day for you?
Most times, it seems that people do invest in a planner, and the event runs smoothly. While you will have the added expense, it is greatly offset by the reduction of stress and chaos. You will be more comfortable, as will your guests. Our company specializes in smaller events so that great attention to detail can be given to you, as well as not allowing your smaller event to pale in importance to a planner's bigger commitments. You are important to us and we want to make your event the very best that it can be! Below are some pictures from the wedding of one of our creative specialists! It was a beautiful day!
