✨ LET’S TALK ABOUT WEDDING PLANNERS✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I’m spicing up my weekly vendor highlight with a little Q&A from the human who planned and designed this lovely wedding, Amber Terese Events!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Q: Do you think there are any common misconceptions about planners?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A: One big misconception is that they aren’t really needed. There’s a big misunderstanding about what planners do and the amount of work that goes into planning (which is a lot).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Q: What do you wish engaged couples knew about wedding planners?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A: That we are your support group. Your partner. We are not going to plan everything without your knowledge or input! We actually put ourselves in your shoes, including the knowledge of your love story and what’s important to you, and plan *based on* those things.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Q: What do you wish vendors knew about planners?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A: That we will be your best friends and your biggest cheerleaders! There used to be this idea that we were just taking money from the couple - but we really do advocate for professionals and great vendors. I don’t know a single planner who doesn’t advocate for and support other wedding vendors.

We love seeing your plans come to vibrant life like they did for Anne Marie and DK’s wedding last May. 💐 It was an absolutely stunning display of their love and we are so honored to have been a part of it. 🤍
