The Do It Yourself Bride

To Hire or Not To Hire a Wedding Planner

Leave a Comment
As you already know by now, I am a DIYer and I intend to DIY my wedding. Actually, I just didn't have the resources to hire a wedding planner. They just cost too much and I couldn't afford them. So, I had no choice but to plan my wedding on my own.

Thank God for Siblings!!! Yes, I am blessed to have a big family. So, I had more than two hands to help me out with this wedding. Also I get to save a lot for not hiring one and I have the liberty and freedom to do all that I desire for my wedding.

Anyway, is there really a need to hire a wedding planner? If you ask me, hiring one is totally a good idea. A wedding planner not only makes your wedding planning life easier but they can also grab great deals for you.

PROS:
- No stress, no hassle wedding planning (the wedding planner gets all the job done for you)
- Wedding planners knows more about the different suppliers/vendors in the wedding industry
- Wedding planners could help you get some discounts from suppliers/vendors
- Job gets done on tim
- Helps you make your wedding planning in an organized and detailed manner

CONS:
- Costly (because they do all the work for you)
- In very rare occasions, planners may not be able to get the job done (I read a blog post about a bride to be who hired a wedding planner who never got the job done and the poor bride had to get a new wedding planner, 1 month before the wedding)
- There may be an instance that the wedding planner's preference will not match yours


If I only had the resources to hire a wedding planner, I would. However, since I am on a very tight budget, I had to go the other route and contract my siblings to help me plan my wedding!

Anyway, I think DIYing my wedding is fun especially when it helps me build a stronger bond with my siblings.
