Let’s be honest. If you’re asking yourself, “Do I really need a wedding planner?” you’re already feeling the weight of how complex this day actually is. It’s not just picking out flowers and choosing your favorite signature cocktail. This is a layered, high-stakes, logistically complex event that you only get one shot at.
And spoiler: we don’t practice on our clients. We’re not guessing, Googling, or hoping it all works out. We’ve spent 16+ years navigating rain delays, vendor no-shows, timeline derailments, and yes, champagne towers that collapse 2 minutes before guests arrive. We are the fixers, the flow creators, and the calm in the storm.
There’s a massive difference between hiring a planner who’s been in this game for years and someone who does weddings occasionally or part-time. One will anticipate the potholes. The other will fall in them with you.

Why Planning with a Pro Matters:
• We think 10 steps ahead. Always.
• We know what happens before what happens.
• We speak vendor. We know the rhythm and pace of a successful day.
And because we’ve done this so many times, we build in breathing room. We design timelines that work. We create moments where you actually get to enjoy your wedding, not just show up for it.
Here’s the truth: Your day shouldn’t be a 12-15 hour game of “what time is it”. It should feel like magic. Controlled, curated, experienced magic.

If Luxe is your vibe and you want a team that’s seasoned, solutions-driven, and five steps ahead of every moving piece, then yes, you need a planner. Not just any planner. You need a wedding day producer. Someone who sees the whole picture.
Pro Tip: Your florist, DJ, and caterer all do a piece of the puzzle. Your planner? We make sure the puzzle actually fits together.
