Well, I’m meeting with a wedding planner on Saturday
My wedding is less than 2 months away, so it might be a lost cause now , I don’t know.
I just realized I needed the help, or I would have been on this a long time ago. I realized I needed the help when I cried myself to sleep worrying about the wedding and doing everything myself.
I just moved to the area in which my wedding is being held and I’m completely overwhelmed. I have so much to do and I have no idea where to even start for vendors. I have no one here but my Fiance and he works a ton.
I haven’t even looked at flowers, transportation for guests hasn’t happened yet. I have no one booked for hair and makeup and I don’t even know where to start looking. I have no idea what the itinerary will be for the day. Décor… I’m still lost on.
I’m lost. I really want my mom here :(.
I don’t know if it’s pointless to have her come on board with our wedding now. We’ve got some of the major stuff arranged already. If I could hire someone to be my friend who knows the area, give me feedback and just plain help me plan, I would. At this point a wedding planner just seems like the best option for me now.
Question part:
I guess what I’m asking is if it’s a waste of her time and mine to get a planner involved so late in the game? What would she do? Is it worth it just to have some peace of mind?

@thursdayschild: I think a planner will help you get a realistic grasp of your options at this point. The planner probably knows a lot of vendors and can help you find vendos still available for your date. A planner can also help you come up with a day of itinerary and take care of all the little crises that come up on your wedding day.

I’ve met some wedding coordinators who tells me that they have brides of all sorts, whether 1 year to plan or 1 month. I see that you’re from Port Huememe. You can contact Sheryal Rozzelle of Unique Elegance. She’s from Santa Barbara area. Good luck!

It sounds like you’d absolutely be doing the right thing by getting a wedding planner now because you need the help! You can always ask, and if they can’t do anything they will tell you, but I think you should be fine getting someone.

It’s not too late – I didn’t book my florist, officiant, or hair/makeup until 2 months before the wedding! The planner will be able to find you vendors that you can trust, you’ve got the big stuff taken care of – so as long as you have a venue, food, and music you will be fine 🙂

I agree hiring a planner sounds like the way to go for you. Any planner will be able to arrange a beautiful day in 2 months. Its thier job, just let them do thier thing and everything will be just fine.
