When Should You Start Working with a Wedding Planner?

Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting and significant milestones in life. However, with so many details to consider, it can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where a wedding planner comes in! But when is the right time to start working with one? The simple answer: the sooner, the better!


The Benefits of Hiring a Wedding Planner Sooner

Typically, couples begin planning their wedding around 18 to 12 months before their big day, so this is the best time to start working with a planner, as early as possible using our Full Service Planning option. The earlier we start working together, the smoother and more enjoyable the planning process will be.
