Professional wedding planners make all the difference to the smooth running of a wedding. With so many different people to co-ordinate - the caterers, the hire cars, the florists, the bar staff, the photographer and so on - it is well nigh impossible for the bridal couple to be relaxed and focus on the meaning of the day, if they are trying to keep tabs on everyone and are immersed in worrying over details. This is where the wedding planner is essential. The type of package that you choose will depend on your personal preferences as well as your budget.
Do you enjoy all the planning and choosing, and want to put your own stamp on things, but want a professional to co-ordinate the actual day?
A day of/week of package books the service of the wedding planner to co-ordinate all the arrangements that you have booked and put in place, on the day of or the week of the wedding. This will involve at least one meeting several weeks prior to the wedding day, so that you can share all the details and see where any gaps have been left. The wedding coordinator will be given all the details and will coordinate everyone involved to make sure all runs smoothly on the day. The design will be all yours, the choice of caterers, florists, dress, venue will be all yours and the success of the day will depend to a large part on the success of your choices, but the wedding coordinator will make sure that you don't have to worry about the details on the day and will deal with any last minute hiccups and emergencies.

Do you want help just with a few areas of planning your wedding?
If you are coping well with your own planning on all but a few areas, then you can hire a wedding planner at an hourly rate to sort out just those particular things. Maybe you are stuck on finding the right florist or would like help budgeting initially before you get to work. Most wedding planners will be able to pack a lot of time-saving advice and tips into a few hours and can sort out any problem areas for you.
Have you already sorted some of the important things, such as venue and photographer, dress and honeymoon but need some planning help to put together the rest of the details?
A part time wedding planners package could be what you need. Here you will discuss exactly what still needs to be done, how much you want to do yourself and how much you want the wedding planner to take care of. This will generally cost much less than a full planning service but you will still get help with selecting the remaining services, making sure that everything has been taken care of and coordinating the day.
Do you want to offload all the stress of planning and just make the fun choices?
A full-time wedding planner is what you need, who will see you through every stage of wedding theme and design, venue choice, dress fittings and all the rest and make sure that things are just the way you dreamed they would be. This is of course the most expensive wedding planners package, but could well end up saving you money, as wedding planners are skilled at budgeting and finding the best suppliers within that budget, as well as having far more experience in negotiating with suppliers and knowing just how much of everything to order.
So don't feel you have to engage a wedding planner for the full works if you want to take the hands on approach to your wedding. Most wedding planners will be happy to come up with a package that suits your needs and style.
