HIRING A PLANNER VS.
PLANNING YOURSELF
Every couple approaches wedding planning di昀昀erently.
Some prefer the exper琀椀se of a professional planner,
while others enjoy cra昀琀ing each detail themselves.
• Planner Pros: Planners bring insider knowledge,
trusted vendor rela琀椀onships, and stress
management skills. They can troubleshoot
unexpected challenges and transform your vision
into a seamless experience.
• Planner Cons: Hiring a planner is an investment,
and for couples on a 琀椀ghter budget, the cost may
feel restric琀椀ve.
• Self-Planning Pros: You control every detail,
from handpicking vendors to cura琀椀ng a deeply
personal event.
• Self-Planning Cons: The process can become
overwhelming, 琀椀me-consuming, and logis琀椀cally
demanding without professional support.
Pro Tip: Even if you choose to self-plan, consider hiring
a “day-of coordinator” to manage vendors and 琀椀melines
so you can simply enjoy your wedding day.
CULINARY CREATIVITY
Your menu sets the tone for the celebra琀椀on. From cocktail
hour to late-night bites, food brings people together in a
memorable way.
• Interac琀椀ve Food Sta琀椀ons: Surprise your guests with
build-your-own taco bars, sushi rolling experiences, or
dessert decora琀椀ng tables. These encourage mingling and
laughter while sa琀椀sfying every palate.
• Signature Cocktails: Design a personalized menu with
his-and-hers cocktails or drinks inspired by your love
story. Guests will remember sipping something that felt
uniquely yours.
• Late-Night Favorites: Keep the energy high with
sliders, gourmet pizzas, or mini milkshakes, perfect a昀琀er
hours on the dance 昀氀oor.
• Dietary Considera琀椀ons: Elevate your menu by
incorpora琀椀ng vegan, gluten-free, or allergen-friendly
dishes without sacri昀椀cing 昀氀avor.
Pro Tip: Plan a tas琀椀ng with our chefs before making your 昀椀nal
decisions to con昀椀dently choose your menu.
