I love magazines. So pretty and glossy. However I am aware – as everyone should be, that the editorials and many of the articles are paid for by the advertisers so they are very biased with their recommendations. Therefore I was surprised and delighted to read the article in the Autumn edition of Wedding Journal magazine about Leo Callow, a wedding coordinator, who attempted to clear up the misconceptions of what we as Wedding Planners and Coordinators actually do for our couples and that we really can save them money.
I know there is a recession on (hate that word) and some people think a wedding coordinator is an additional expense. It is not. A good wedding coordinator can not only keep you on or under your budget but save you money by coming up with creative ways to fulfill your dream instead of just shelling out for it.
A wedding coordinator will keep you focused and I speak for most of us (I hope) that we can look at a budget and what is allocated to each item and pick out what can be done for less and what may cost a bit more.
These days when money is tighter most couples need this service all the more. Making a wedding fabulous is easily done as long as it reflects the couple getting married. Your happiness, your loves, your quirks and what is important to you. Your family and friends will recognize that and that is what makes the perfect wedding. Not how much you spend on it.
Leo said in the WJ article, 'People are motivated by laughter and friendship, that feel-good factor. That's what a wedding should achieve. That sense of happiness, love and togetherness.' Well done Leo, I couldn't have said it better!
Live, Love, Laugh and Dream!
