In my first blog mini series, today we’re answering a question about something that is (obviously) very close to my heart: “DO I REALLY NEED A WEDDING PLANNER?”

In truth, this is YOUR party, which YOU must plan. Arm yourself with wedding planning information and be honest with yourself about your time commitment and personal support, then choose what’s best for you! Only then will you be able to plan, execute and truly enjoy your next year, and its culmination into your spectacular wedding day! Let’s see how a wedding planner can help you…
