We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: hiring an event or wedding planner means investing in so much more than a day-of timeline. Wedding and event planners are invaluable when it comes to building the rest of your vendor team, taking the stress and pressure off of you as the host, and sharing years of industry knowledge to ensure that you have the most amazing celebration possible.
We are sharing 11 wedding and event planners to hire this month for your future celebrations. Whether you’re a newly-engaged couple planning the wedding of your dreams, a gala chair who needs help executing important details, or you’re hosting any other type of milestone celebration, these 11 planners can help bring your vision to life.
