Do I really need a wedding planner?

Do I really need a wedding planner is a question I hear from potential clients, friends and even from family. It is usually followed by an, “I’m just going to do it all myself”, “I don’t need someone to make my centerpieces”, or “I’m super organized and I’ve got this!”. Even though all of that may be true, who is going to make sure YOUR day goes perfectly? Who is going to make sure your tables and chairs arrive on time while you sit back and get pampered? Who is going to set up your sweetheart, welcome, and gift table? Who is going to pack up your car at the end of the night so you can dance the night away? That is where I come in with timelines, layouts, emergency kit and all. But I truly do SO much more than just that.

If I am planning my wedding could a wedding planner still be right for me?

How Could You Knot’s month-of package or even day-of package is great for those independent brides (or grooms) that have an exact vision of what they want and just need help tying up loose ends. With my month-of package, I come in six weeks prior to your wedding day and go all in! I read over final invoices to make sure you are getting the right amount of services and attention and are not being over charged. I also become the main point of contact for your vendors ensuring that we finalize load in and load out times. I make an overall timeline for the big day that will be sent out to all of your vendors so that everyone is on the same page. You would not believe how many times I have heard stories about missing photo ops and big moments such as the cake cutting, family photos, or even the bouquet toss! Aside from just the timeline, I will make a layout specific to your venue and checklists for everything and everyone. I will take all items that you have for your wedding, like favors and pictures the night before to make sure it gets to your venue and is all accounted for.


How Could You Knot really just wants to make sure you have your best day ever, so the answer is, yes you really do need a wedding planner. Do not miss out on enjoying every minute of your day because you have to make sure your caterer is on time or that your photographer is getting the shots you’ve always dreamed of. We are here for you and your fiancé, so whether it be you needing another drink or just wanting to make sure you have a few moments alone throughout the day, we make sure it happens. Of course we offer endless options when it comes to planning services and design packages that we will go over eventually. I just feel like this question is heard so often that I wanted to give you all an answer!
