WEDDING PLANNER FAQs

Creating your unforgettable experience

What can a wedding planner do?

A wedding planner can remove the stress and time pressures that often come with organising something as meaningful and unique as your wedding. They can provide start-to-finish advice and management so that you can enjoy the perfect day that you always imagined without getting distracted by pesky details or on-the-day dramas! The Event Girl specialises in planning unforgettable weddings for brides and grooms who are looking to plan an amazing day that is free of stress for everyone involved.

Is a wedding planner worth it?

If you are a busy bride with a full schedule but you know that you want your wedding day to be something truly special, contracting a wedding planner is one hundred per cent worth it!

What things do I need to consider for my wedding?

Besides being the happiest day of your life, there are a lot of other expectations that come along with planning your special day! Some of the biggest things to take into consideration are:

The time of the year

Your location

Your venue

Your food (everyone remembers the food)!

Your family dynamics and of course the aesthetic that you want to achieve on the day.

Planning a wedding can easily become a job within itself and if organising and communicating every single detail doesn’t sound like fun to you, someone like The Event Girl can help you out with the planning, styling and execution of your big day.

Is it cheaper to hire a wedding planner than not?

Even though having a wedding planner can seem like a luxury option, many people underestimate how much time and money it costs to DIY your wedding!

At The Event Girl, we know how many hours go into planning a flawless day and we make sure that you don’t end up wasting your time and energy on little details when you should be enjoying the lead-up to your big day!
