Often brides underestimate the necessity of a wedding planner due to budget constraints.  There are so many ways that a wedding planner can be a valued addition to your day by handling much of the stress that would otherwise head in your direction.  What many people do not realize is the bride can plan her day and have a Day-of Wedding Planner to execute it.  Here are a few ways that Day-of Wedding Planners help the bride:

1. Direct the rehearsal so that the bride and groom know what to do and when to do it.

2. Let the bridesmaids and groomsmen know their duties, let the parents know when to walk down the aisle, and let the ushers know who to seat and where.

3. Ensure vendors know where to be and when to be there, and to confirm any outstanding balance.

4. Deliver the final payments to vendors on the wedding day.

5. Create schedules for everyone to keep the day running smoothly and on time.

One of the wedding planners that I’ve had the pleasure of working with on several occasions is Lacoya Heggie of Miraculous Events (Serving Virginia/Maryland/DC).  She is always been a great resource for helpful tips, resources, and creative ideas!
