By Patti Hansen, A Marry Angel Inc.
Do you need a wedding planner of a wedding director?
As little girls we dream of our wedding day. Walking
down the aisle to our groom and kissing our father's
cheek goodbye as we stand at the altar. Then we grow
up and get engaged; showing off our pretty ring that
our Knight in Shining Armor has given us. We begin
the long awaited journey of planning our Special
Wedding Day with our past dreams in mind.
Today, most brides want to plan their own weddings
with the exception of having someone help them find
reputable vendors, inexpensive alternatives to
otherwise Expensive items, the best locations, and
being the mediator in family disagreements.
While planning a wedding can be fun and exciting,
some brides opt to hire a wedding planner merely to
take the stress of having to plan their Big Day on
their own. However, what is the difference between a
wedding planner and a wedding director. One Vendor
states they do Wedding Planning and the other says
they do Wedding Day Direction.
A Wedding Planner is one that assists the bride
throughout her wedding planning process. From
contacting vendors, meeting with the bride at
different locations, helping the couple choose
colors, design ideas and more, to ensuring
everything is set for the Big Day.
A Wedding Director is one that assists the couple
and family on the day of the wedding. The Wedding
Director usually arrives one hour prior to the
ceremony to ensure the Bride has everything she
needs to passing out the flowers and pinning on the
boutonnières.
Then the Wedding Director directs the wedding party
down the aisle and into their places at the altar.
The Wedding Director stays throughout the ceremony
and assists with the reception. Making sure the DJ
is set up and the reception locale is to the
Couples? instruction.
Now some Wedding Planners not only assist with the
wedding planning but also act as a Wedding Director
on the Day of the Wedding.
So when deciding if you need a Wedding Planner of a
Wedding Director, the ultimate decision is yours but
a Wedding Planner can relieve the stress from the
moment you are engaged until you say Farewell to
your wedding guests. When searching for the extra
help in making your Dream Come True. Find out exactly
what your Wedding Planner/Director will do and then
rest assure your Little Girl Fantasy will be just as
it was in your Dreams.
