When to Hire Your Colorado Wedding Planner

So you popped the question (or said yes!) and now it’s time to start planning your wedding. There are a lot of decisions to be made when bringing your wedding to life, but one of the early choices you’ll need to make is whether to hire a wedding planner. A wedding planner can help you and your soon-to-be-spouse throughout the planning process with wedding-planning insight and connections to vendors and venues in your dream wedding location. So when should you hire your Colorado wedding planner?

Figuring Out What Planning You Need Help With

There’s no right or wrong time to hire your wedding planner. It depends on the support you’re looking for and what assistance you need from your wedding planner. Many couples are looking for support throughout the entire process, in which case you should hire a wedding planner early on to benefit from their expertise from the start. Other couples want to do more of the planning on their own and may have a date, venue, and theme planned before hiring a wedding planner to help bring all the details together with decor, vendors, and coordination on your wedding day. It’s up to you and your partner to decide what type of planning assistance you’re looking for.

Full Planning: Budgeting, Venue, and Timeline Help

If you’re unsure of where to even start with planning your wedding, hiring a wedding planner can be one of the first steps you take in orchestrating your big day. A wedding planner can help you determine your budget, find a venue, set a date, and determine the timeline of steps you’ll need to take before your big day arrives. They’ll continue to support you and your partner throughout the planning process at every step and can take a big weight of the process off of your shoulders.

Partial Planning: Help Bringing All the Pieces Together

You may start your wedding planning process and make headway before deciding that you and your partner could use the help of a wedding planner. A wedding planner can help you finalize the little details of your wedding and provide recommendations and coordination with vendors, provide input and advice on decor, and help you ensure that you’ve checked off all the necessary to-do list items.

Hiring a Wedding Coordinator

Some couples aren’t looking for wedding planning help throughout the entire process, but instead need a coordinator to handle all the little details on the big day. A wedding coordinator provides support and assistance in the handful of days leading up to and on your wedding day. The planning process is up to you, but your coordinator can step in with extensive wedding management experience so that you and your partner can enjoy celebrating your love without distraction.
