Colorado Rocky Mountain weddings provide some of the most breathtaking backdrops and unique venues that suit any style while also making your wedding day memorable. However planning a Rocky Mountain wedding, whether it is your home state or will be a destination wedding, is a big undertaking. Especially as your guest list grows or you realize how many little details make up your dream wedding. Whether a large event or a micro wedding, there are many options to choose from and decisions to be made. It can be challenging or feel overwhelming to take it all on while doing everything else in your day-to-day life. Hiring a wedding planner is one of the best decisions you will make and the best way to get the wedding of your dreams with less work on your shoulders to make it happen. 

The Benefits of Hiring a Wedding Planner

A wedding planner does more than just "direct traffic" on the big day. Your wedding planner will be with you from the engagement through your wedding day helping in all aspects of bringing your big day to life. They are experienced at solving unexpected issues that may crop up on or leading up to your wedding. For example, if your DJ or photographer cancels at the last minute, they have a network of vendors to reach out to that can help find a solution. Even if this isn't your first wedding, it's a good idea to enlist the help of a wedding planner to:

  • listen to your ideas and help determine how to make them happen

  • stay within the set budget and be honest about what you can do with your budget

  • offer different options for things you want but are outside of your budget

  • provide decor and design advice or potential vendors that fit your ideas

  • oversee the various contracts and budgeting

  • know what vendors to stay away from

  • help make travel arrangements for the wedding party and guests

  • prepare a wedding day timeline and makes sure it is followed

  • coordinates all the vendors on your wedding day
