Why hire a Wedding Planner?
Every Wedding is different and unique and so is every couples' reasons for hiring a Wedding Planner. But, at Rare Earth we have discovered through working with numerous clients that there are really 4 main reasons why you will hire a Wedding Planner:
- You are too busy or overwhelmed to properly plan your Wedding
- You are finding it difficult to plan your destination Wedding from a distance
- You want your Wedding to be planned to perfection by a professional
- You would prefer to relax and enjoy your Wedding day, focusing on "the moments", not working through them
More specifically, some of the couples we have worked with told us they chose to hire a Wedding Planner because:
- They have full-time jobs and just don't feel they have the time (250 hrs.) to devote to planning their wedding. Save time now with these helpful resources
- They're not familiar with the ins and outs of planning a Wedding in Tofino & Ucluelet. Such as, the best locations for a ceremony, the perfect venue, and the best vendors to work with. 10 things you need to know about planning a Tofino Wedding!
- Like most couples, they have never planned a Wedding before, don't know where to start, and just feel more confident leaving things to a professional. Don't know where to start? This is a good place
- They're planning an extremely lavish event and need help with all the details. The difference between a Wedding and a "Dream Wedding" is getting the details nearly right and getting the details exactly right. Find out how
- They have great ideas for creating a truly unique and authentic Tofino Wedding, but are unable to bring them to fruition and need a professional to help realize their dreams. Want a dream Wedding, but not sure how to make it a reality?
- They have planned most of the Wedding themselves, but are getting overwhelmed with the details and stressed about vendors not returning their calls. They are unsure of what to do or if it is normal. Need an easy solution so that you can treasure the rest of your time being engaged? This might be it
These are the reasons our past clients gave us when we asked, "Why a Wedding Planner?". But what exactly is a Wedding Planner?
What is a Wedding Planner? Someone who will save you money!
Out of all the reasons we hear from our clients as to why they choose a Wedding Planner, very rarely do they say that, "A Wedding Planner saves you money." This is one of the most overlooked reasons for hiring a planner.
In most cases, the savings experienced by the couple through their wedding planner's sharp negotiating skills pay for the cost of hiring the planner, if not more. So in the end the bride and groom is left with a beautifully orchestrated wedding, planned by a professional, with less stress and the ability to focus on the enjoyment of getting married. The best planners get you the best service for the best price -- our reputation depends on it.
How do we do this? Networking. We work tirelessly to establish and leverage excellent vendor relationships to ensure that you not only get a good deal, but the perfect team of vendors to help successfully bring your wedding vision to life.
