20 Things Wedding Planners Do That May Surprise You.

When it comes to your wedding planners,  there are many things they do behind the scenes to make your wedding day smooth and seamless. In fact, you can think of them as your own personal wedding day magicians, solving problems before they even occur. 

Although planning packages often have a list of included services, there are so many other things that your planner will do to make sure your wedding day is as perfect and stress-free as possible!

We’ve compiled a list of 20 things wedding planners do that may surprise you, but honestly the list is endless!

  1. Gets coffee for the bridal party the morning of the wedding 

  2. Straightens ceremony chairs after someone sets them up crooked 

  3. Redirects vendors when they begin setting up in the wrong area

  4. Brings band-aids and first aid supplies for that accident-prone family member 

  5. Collects items needed for detail shots in preparation for the photographer 

  6. Gets everyone back on schedule when that one groomsmen arrives 20 minutes late

  7. Pins boutonnieres on the groomsmen since no one else knows how to

  8. Tells the groom when it’s time to walk out for the first look 

  9. Hides golf tees in the grass so the bridal party knows where to stand during the ceremony

As wedding planners, our ultimate goal is to make your wedding day memorable (for the right reasons!) and stress-free.
