25 Mar Do I need a Wedding Planner?
To hire a wedding planner or not!
Decisions, Decisions
You may have already searched lots of websites, looked at different options, asked your friends and are still not sure if you need to consider having someone else help you plan your wedding day.
We know it’s a big decision but using a planner can really help you enjoy the process even more. When I work with couples to help them plan their day, I provide valuable insights into ceremony location options, photographers, florists and numerous other suppliers. It can seem overwhelming at the beginning of the planning process; where do you start and what are the most important elements to consider.
After getting to know you both through our consultation I will match you with likeminded suppliers and will help you bring your dream wedding to reality removing the stress of endless online searches and allowing you both time to focus on the excitement and build up to your special day.
“Once in a lifetime memories are a lot easier when someone closer than 3400 miles away helps. Thank you Susan.”

Your eyes and ears on the ground

Perhaps you are thinking of a destination wedding or you are based in Ireland but do not have the time to research your preferred locations, suppliers and plan your wedding alongside your busy lifestyle. I will do all the ground work for you. No question is too much to ask as I am here to help and make sure your planning is stress free. I can visit locations, meet with suppliers and negotiate packages and pricing on your behalf ensuring everything is planned to perfection.
Now more than ever, it is all about making cherished memories for you both and all of your guests.
“Susan, where do I start? I don’t know what I would have done without you. I truly feel blessed and lucky to have had you throughout my entire wedding. My wedding was absolutely amazing and you were a major part of it.”
Time
Hiring a wedding planner will save you time. With each Activity Report, I source and confirm the wedding location and each suppliers availability. There will be two or three location suggestions and supplier choices along with pricing for you to choose from. This saves you both so much time as all of the trusted suppliers I work with are handpicked as I have built a relationship up with them over the last 12 years working within the industry
and are guaranteed to ensure you have the day you have dreamed of.
“Thank you for all of your help and assistance with our wedding. Everything was simply perfect.
The advice you gave, the detailed preparation and care you took to put together a beautiful reception and dinner will leave us with memories to last a lifetime.
We cannot thank you enough for our beautiful wedding and fond memories.”
Save you money
By looking at your budget, we can allocate certain amounts for each element of the day based on your priorities. As I will be researching each supplier & venue location on your behalf, I will receive quotes from each so that you can decide your preferred options and most importantly stay on budget. We will look together at where the main investments should be and what elements can be reviewed as I understand how important it is to be smart with your money and spend it on things that are important to you; good company, fabulous food & wine, fantastic music, having lots of fun and making memories for life.
“Susan, words cannot express the gratitude we have for everything you did to provide us with a wedding of a lifetime.
We are still pinching ourselves to make sure it all wasn’t just a dream. We cannot wait for our next trip to Ireland so we can relive some of those memories.”
Fun
Let’s have fun planning your wedding, it should be an enjoyable process. You are getting married and it will be one of the most important days in your lives. We will work together, step by step, ensuring that no detail is overlooked so that you do not get overwhelmed at any point throughout the process. If you would also like on the day co-ordination, I will handle all time management on your wedding day, leaving you both to enjoy every single moment of your big day. Remember the day goes by so quickly, there are very few times in your lives where you will have all of your family and friends together in the one place, so enjoy the moment!
“Susan, thank you for making the most important day of life the best.”
