1. Our industry knowledge and experience..
It’s what we do, every day and it’s second nature to us. From the legalities of your wedding licences and documents to seating plans, keeping track of budgets, taking care of supplier payments and contracts, and being there on the day to ensure everything and everyone is where they should be. For some of you first-timers, it can be daunting and a lot to take in….. and for those more familiar with a wedding – you know how stressful it all is!!
2. We know it’s cliché but at BIE there is NO such thing as a stupid question…
The run-up to your wedding should be a fun and exciting time, but let’s face it, it will take over your life. Sometimes planning can get a bit overwhelming, especially as you get closer to your big day. Most people think they can manage things themselves until they’re in too deep. Your wedding planner can be your personal secretary, your best friend, your confidant, and your walking diary right up until and including your wedding day.
3. The key to an enjoyable wedding for you and your guests is in the pre planning and smooth running of the day
The order of your day is really quite important as you want you and your guests to be relaxed and enjoy the day. Juggling details is the last thing you and your partner want to worry about on your wedding day. Having someone help you understand how to celebrate is so important. You don’t want your guests to feel like they are being rushed around, instead you want a natural flow and running of the day.
4. We don’t mind being the bad cop, to blame or put our foot down, we are the middle ground and familiar face to go with you on your journey
What are you supposed to do now that your mum and mother-in-law disagree about the centrepiece? Or when should you send out your save-the-dates? A seasoned wedding planner has seen it all, and will be able to guide you through any tricky situations that arise during big-day preparations (and trust us, you will have more than one)!
5. The C word-Cost……. we will Save you money
A common misconception is a wedding planner costs a lot of money when it often saves you money. We can negotiate deals with venues and wedding suppliers where you may not be able to in hope that we’ll work together again and pass on any future business. For us, it’s mutually beneficial to arrange discounts and get special rates, which in turn then get passed onto you. Most couples have a strict budget and timeline they need to adhere to. Your wedding planner will be able to help you get the most for your money and will crunch numbers and score discounts, getting you the best deals. Plus, they’ll keep you on schedule, ensuring you cross every to-do off your list in a timely manner.
