So having somebody who already knew the industry and knew the niche of where I was getting married was so helpful. She recommended vendors. I who knew my vision or could match my vision, who knew what I wanted to carry out, who'd actually worked at the venue where I got married. So I think a wedding planner can absolutely help you.

But I would say anybody on your vendor team can offer really invaluable advice and can also be a great resource when it comes to the budget. So share your wedding budget, share your costs with these people and let them help you because they are truly an invaluable resource when it comes to planning.

Totally. Yeah. Yes. A couple say that we found it when one of our surveys couple said that 68% of it was managing the stress and 34% of it was aiding in decision-making.

I mean, you do get a bit of decision fatigue with all of these things and having somebody by your side, like a wedding planner who can help advise and they know what you're trying to do and they're helping you bring this vision to life. It is huge.

Yes, absolutely. So there are so many ways to save. So for example, If you hired a wedding planner and you found a venue you love, maybe the Saturday night option is a little out of your budget, but you could pick an off-peak time, whether that's seasonality, whether that's getting married on a Friday. Catering.

This is another easy one where if you're working with a good caterer, you can say, here's what I have to spend. How can I do what I'm wanting to do for a little less money? It might be serving more in-season foods. It might be having just a signature cocktail or two and then having wine and beer at your open bar. So there's lots of creative ways to do that.

I also think that picking a band or a DJ is a great save in music. Sometimes we see couples do both or some people will say, oh, you know, the DJ will save you cash. You're really just better off choosing one and allowing that person to work within your budget. So a band, it might be going from a 20 piece band to an eight piece band or something of that like photography is also a big expense.

And I feel like one of the things I love is hiring somebody who is local to your wedding location. This means you don't have to pay for the travel. You can usually cut back on some of those expenses and wait until a little later to work on all the after effects of like the album and all of those prints. Sometimes you can spend that money later.
