Many couples wonder what a wedding planner really does. Isn’t it just about booking vendors? The truth is, a professional wedding planner is your guide, problem-solver, and the calm in your chaos.
Here’s a look behind the scenes of what a wedding planner really handles in Sri Lanka:
From vendor research to schedule planning, a planner ensures everything is handled without you running around.
2. Keeps You Within Budget
We help you prioritize and find quality vendors within your range, and avoid overspending on unnecessary items.
3. Vendor Coordination
We talk to decorators, photographers, caterers, makeup artists, and venues so you don’t have to juggle 15 phone calls a day.
4. Timeline Creation and Execution
We create detailed run sheets and ensure everything runs according to plan, from the first dance to the final send-off.
5. Problem Solving
Last-minute rain? Missing boutonniere? We handle the surprises while you keep smiling.
6. Emotional Support
We’ve been through many weddings and know when to encourage, when to remind, and when to simply listen.
7. Helps You Avoid Mistakes
With experience across hundreds of weddings, we know what pitfalls to avoid — from double-booking to vendor no-shows.
8. Conflict Management
whether its family disagreements or vendor miscommunications, we step in with calm, professional solutions.
9. Reduces Stress
with a planner managing the details, you can focus on what really matters — enjoying your engagement and big day.
10. Coordinates the Wedding Day
Even if you’ve planned everything yourself, we strongly recommend hiring a planner at least for your wedding day. A professional day-of coordinator ensures everything goes smoothly so you can be fully present and stress-free.
In short, hiring a planner lets you enjoy your engagement and truly celebrate on your wedding day without worry.
