The second criteria you will use to decide whether or not to hire a wedding planner is the total number of people you have helping you with the actual wedding. If you have a large group of friends or relatives who will be helping you, and they are fully committed to helping you with the entire process, then a wedding planner may be unnecessary because you already have a lot of extra hands to help you with the tough work. Keep in mind however that their commitment to the process is crucial; having people drop out halfway through the planning process can be very difficult on you, so make sure that they are in it for the long haul.

Lastly, you will want to decide whether or not you need to have absolute and intimate control over the entire ceremony.  If you are a control freak, then chances are you will not be getting the biggest bang for your buck out of a wedding planner because you will be undermining their every decision and wanting to do things your own way instead of using the methods they recommend.  But if you are okay with letting go of a little bit of your control, than a wedding planner will work well for you. Hiring a wedding planner can be a great way to make sure your wedding goes smoothly, as well as reducing some of the stresses that you would otherwise have to deal with.  A wedding planner is not for everyone, but if you meet the above criteria then chances are good that you will enjoy the experience of hiring a wedding planner and truly gain the most that they have to offer. If you do not meet the above criteria then don’t feel bad, a wedding planner is not right for everybody and it is still possible to plan a fantastic and meaningful ceremony either on your own or with the help of friends and family.
