How Do I Choose a Nashville Wedding Planner to Hire?

Everyone wants that top shelf service for the least amount of outlay. You already know that that is not how it works. You have to pay to play. I have always found the cost/value discussion fascinating. The Weddings & Events by Raina team is always up to discuss it further. So, how DO you choose a Nashville wedding planner?

Did you know it can take a wedding planner 200+ hours of work behind the scenes? We are answering emails and phone calls, working on spreadsheets, attending site visits and vendor meetings. Not to mention the on-site setup to turn your wedding dreams into a reality? Some venues claim to come with an “in-house” wedding planner. Be wary of those too good to be true situations. You want to be sure you know the difference between a venue wedding coordinator and a professional wedding planner. Make your hiring selections wisely.

Why Are Wedding Planners So Expensive?

People always say wedding planning seems like it would be so much fun. Don’t get us wrong, for the most part it really can be. We certainly couldn’t imagine doing anything else because we absolutely love it! Raina has been an award winning Nashville wedding planner for 26 years. Many of the rest of the Weddings & Events by Raina team members have been planning for 10 years or more.

Professional Wedding Planner or Venue Provided Coordinator…what you need to know!

You need someone who is extremely organized and detail oriented. Someone who is prompt with emails, texts and phone calls. A planner who remains cool under pressure. An incredibly patient but creative planner who has lots and lots and lots of vendor connections and relationships. Trust me. There is so much more that happens behind the scenes. Things that only a professional wedding planner knows to create the wedding of your dreams.

Why You Need a Professional Wedding Planner

Do not automatically hire the wedding planner who has the lowest priced packages. Hire the professional wedding planner who is going to put in the time, effort, sweat and tears into creating your perfect day. Be sure to hire a professional wedding planner who is licensed and insured. Always look for a professional wedding planner with decades of experience. You will want to hire the professional wedding planner who has made this their career. Don’t simply hire someone who is just doing this because they had fun planning their own wedding 6 months ago or someone who is doing it as a side gig.
