This week on the Wedding Planning Podcast, we’re going to sort out some common misconceptions and FAQ’s about wedding planners and day of coordinators.
Today’s show is a de facto “Part II” from last week’s conversation, where we ran through a general overview of hiring a planner and / or DOC.
Missed it? LISTEN NOW!
When I got married, I wasted a lot of time researching and interviewing planners before I realized that A.) I didn’t HAVE to hire anyone, and B.) John and I had all the tools we needed to plan OUR perfect wedding day.
And side note, shocker – obviously, none of the wedding planners I interviewed ever mentioned to me, hey by the way, did you know that you could actually just do this on your own?
Thankfully I came around to that, but it took lots of wasted effort and stress to get there.
Flash forward to today – I literally created the Wedding Planning Podcast so that any engaged couple could tune in and use the episodes and the tools we review in the weekly shows to plan their own wedding – no professional or pricey wedding planner required.
Spoiler alert before we even dive in – I definitely DO NOT think you have to spend thousands of dollars to hire a professional wedding planner!
Some alternatives? Try checking out the sites we mentioned in today’s show, including your local Craigslist postings, Thumbtack.com, taskrabbit.com and fiverr.com
I also know that there are countless wonderful wedding planning professionals out there, and for some couples it’s a really smart investment … and we’ll get into all of that that much more in today’s show.
