Do You Really Need a Planner?

Let’s be honest — you probably don’t think you need one.

Key word: think. You don’t think you need one until it’s too late. You’ve never been married, or maybe you have, and you know how fast it snowballs. The engagement high fades into color palettes, contracts, budgets, and opinions. What starts as fun becomes a second job, one that pays in stress, not joy.

That’s where a planner steps in, quietly, early, and fully on your team. Someone who turns “I don’t know where to start” into “I can finally breathe.”

The goal isn’t just a pretty timeline, it’s to make the whole experience, the planning, the prep, and the day itself, something you and your loved ones actually get to enjoy.

That’s why having a planner, or at the very least a month-of coordinator matters. Someone who steps in before the chaos hits, keeps things running smoothly, and makes sure all the time, money, and energy you’ve invested actually pays off.

Because a planner isn’t for people who can’t handle it, it’s for the ones who know better. The ones who want to spend their engagement making memories, not managing inboxes.

It’s like buying a house and skipping the insurance. You wouldn’t skip the thing that protects your biggest investment, so why do it with one of the most meaningful days of your life?

By the time wedding week hits, everything’s handled. Vendors know where to be, your mom’s sipping champagne, your best friend isn’t cueing music, and you’re not the one double-checking chairs. You’re all just enjoying the day, together.

You can plan your wedding, but you can’t run it and live it at the same time.

Could you do it all yourself? Of course you could. But the question isn’t can you, it’s why would you?

Your only job that day should be to show up, feel it all, and soak it in, with the people you love right there beside you, actually enjoying it too.

Remember, you deserve to be the bride, and no matter what I’m always rooting for you. 💚
