Why you need a wedding planner (and why you don't!)

Welcome back to Your Wedding Unlimited! 🎉 Abby, UK wedding planner and owner of Elegance Unlimited, is here to help you navigate wedding planning with ease, confidence, and a touch of fun. In this episode, Abby is tackling a big question: Do you actually need a wedding planner? She breaks down the benefits, the potential downsides, and how to decide if hiring a planner is right for your wedding.

In this episode, Abby covers:

• The real benefits of hiring a wedding planner (beyond just saving time!)
• Common misconceptions about what wedding planners actually do
• What happens when things go wrong—and who's there to fix them
• The differences between wedding planners, venue coordinators, and on-the-day coordinators
• Scenarios where you don’t need a wedding planner
• How a planner can actually help you save money and stick to your budget

Whether you're unsure about hiring a planner or already convinced, this episode will give you expert insight to make the best choice for your wedding.

Key Takeaways:

When You Need a Wedding Planner:

✔ You’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start

✔ You’re short on time or juggling a busy schedule

✔ You want expert guidance to avoid costly mistakes

✔ You need help finding and booking trusted suppliers

✔ You want someone there on the day to handle any hiccups

When You Might Not Need a Wedding Planner:

❌ You’re planning a super simple or small wedding (e.g., registry office + lunch)

❌ You have loads of time and love handling logistics

❌ You have a trusted support system willing to take on key roles

The Big Takeaway? Even if you plan everything yourself, make sure someone is in charge on the day—because you shouldn’t be running your own wedding!
