Have you thought at all about hiring a wedding planner? Those in the biz will say that the biggest benefit of having a professional around is that she will basically pick up all the stress of planning your wedding, and put it on her own shoulders. How great is that?? I’m sure you’re already feeling the strain of picking out the perfect dress/shoes/venue/caterer… the list goes on… and you may have only recently become engaged! Imagine what it’s like for the last few weeks when everything comes together. Not to imagine all the stress that budgets may bring.
Planners will manage your budget, your planning timeline, and your vendors. They have relationships with vendors that may bring you savings, and they know which companies bring consistent reliable results. They help you realize your own ideas and they add suggestions to polish them. They keep things moving on your wedding day and deal with any issues that arise (and they *may* – that’s experience talking). They are your best advocate, particularly on your wedding day when you would rather relax and enjoy the occasion!
Now… you think having a wedding planner might not be in the budget? Consider this… Sumer Schmitt of Simply Perfect Weddings may have just what you are looking for! She is now offering 1 on 1 consulting services for clients who are interested in a one-time brain-picking sit-down session. That means you can get the guidance and even some vendor discounts at a fraction of the normal cost of hiring a planner! For the month of February, the rate is only $150 for 1 hour with Sumer + goodie bag. Plus you get a $100 credit toward other packages with Sumer. Check out her blog post for more info. Great deal!!
So meet Sumer, wedding planner extraordinaire. 
I’ve worked with her on several occasions and have found her to be extremely personable, responsive, and incredibly dedicated to the details. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to all brides.
Happy planning!
