There are many reasons to use an event coordinator for your wedding and not all of the reasons are the cost savings that will happen. If you have ever tried to run someone else’s wedding from start to finish you know it is a full time and thankless job. Do you really want your favorite aunt or cousin tied up all day making or trying to make things happen instead of being with you in getting ready and also having a good time.

If you are having a full blown wedding with a church or commercial facility, food, entertainment a professional photographer and a time line to keep in order to reduce costs and over rides then shop around and find a good honest Event Planner. In most cases the event planner will also have many of the things you will need to make your wedding special for rent at a reasonable price and they are being paid to make things happen so you can get ready walk down the isle and be your self. To me it just makes sense to do it this way.

Later I will post event planners on this blog for those of you in the Thurston County area that we have met and feel comfortable with. It is your decision and you need to make it, but remember time is never on your side and the sooner you get things going the better your wedding day will turn out. The event planner will help you with the selection of table cloths, decorations, flowers and arrangements and setting up the wedding area as well as removing things so you do not have to pay an additional charge at the facility of your choice. Many sites have a full kitchen but require a qualified person to use the appliances and will charge you extra for any mess or damages caused while you are using the site. Your local event planner will know or can find good catering companies that are qualified to use the kitchen and have the food properly prepared and ready on time.
