There are many reasons why people enlist the help of a wedding planner. If you can answer yes to any of the following questions then a wedding planner is what you need:

• Do you both work and don't have enough time for yourself, let alone time to plan a wedding?
• Are you trying to combine your own wishes with the wants of parents, friends or others?
• Do you find organising things troublesome and frustrating?
• Do you know what you want from your wedding but don't know the area?
• Are you worried about missing something out of your plans or forgetting things on the day?
• Are you concerned that the transport might break down or the band doesn't turn up?
• Are you trying to juggle your own dreams with the reality of a budget?
• Do you want a fabulous, unforgettable wedding but don't know where to start?

There are two main reasons for involving a wedding planner:

The first reason for enlisting the help of a wedding planner is the same as your reason for hiring a plumber. Planning a wedding is a specialist job (as is fixing a leaky tap). You wouldn't try to fix the tap yourself, so why try to plan your wedding yourself? (especially as getting your wedding right is vastly more important than whether the tap starts leaking again in a few weeks!). Despite this simple comparison it's obvious that planning such a memorable occasion as your wedding requires specialist knowledge. You only have one opportunity to get your wedding right so why leave it to chance?

The second is the biggest reason of all - TIME! Estimates have been made which suggest that, on average, it takes 250 hours to organise a wedding! With the hectic lives we all lead today, trying to juggle work, family, friends, pets, DIY, sport, leisure time and time for ourselves, few people have time to visit 3 or 4 different photographers before making a decision on which one is right for them. Here at Fairy Godmother we take away all the stresses and strains of visiting suppliers because we do that for you. We will then meet with you to discuss which one of 3 potential suppliers best meets your needs. If none of them are suitable we have the time to try again. In summary we give you the greatest gift of all - time!
