Why Hire a Wedding Planner?

I get this question often. I've answered it in part in a previous blog, but here's a summary version:

1. Wedding Planners are the repeat customers of wedding vendors. Clients of wedding planners tend to get special treatment, discounted rates and other favors. Any reputable wedding planner charges a flat rate so that all discounts are realized by the client.

Moonriver Weddings has good relations with the top wedding vendors in town and never take kickbacks or referral fees. We pass any savings to our clients.

2. Wedding Planners know the good vendors and best locations. They've been there, done that! While this may be your first wedding, it's not theirs! Wedding Planners anticipate the unexpected, prepare for the worst and calmly manage all wedding day crises!

Moonriver specializes in planning - our wedding day schedules are impeccable and our weddings are well run. We also offer brides & grooms the service of developing their wedding day schedule and will provide day-of coordination.

3. Wedding Planners keep you on your budget. They give you the options that work within your budget and advise you on how you can save money in areas that are not as much of a priority.

Whatever you decide your budget is, Moonriver makes sure you stick to it. Moonriver believes you can have a fabulous wedding for $5,000 or $500,000 - sticking to a budget requires creativity and choices, both of which we provide in abundance!

4. You have time to dream and direct, but not to produce! Wedding planners don't take over your wedding, they are your agents - they handle the details you don't have time for or don't want to do!

Moonriver likes to tell our clients that we are their personal wedding assistants. With our unlimited hour Moonriver Signature Wedding Planning Package, there's no task we won't handle.

5. Wedding Planners act as a mediator and buffer between mothers and to be mother in laws!

Moonriver, no matter who is paying for the wedding, works for the bride & groom. We are dedicated to their wedding dreams.

6. Wedding Planners protect the investment of your wedding.

As a Moonriver client once said, "Why would I spend thousands of dollars on a wedding I couldn't enjoy?" Moonriver covers your wedding day so that you are free to enjoy the event of a lifetime!

Happy Planning!
