Planning a wedding is stressful. You don’t have to have planned a wedding to recognise that, just check out any Hollywood movie. Between organizing a venue, deciding on an aesthetic and bringing it all together, most modern brides also have to contend with a full work schedule, the inevitable pressure to look a certain way on their special day and financial concerns. Plus focusing on their relationship to ensure that they actually want to get married at the end of the planning process!
Hiring a wedding planner may sound like something only celebrities do, but we can assure you that more and more couples are opting to hire a professional to bring their dream wedding to life. A wedding is supposed to be an enjoyable moment and most couples find it hard to enjoy it when they see all the little imperfections.
It’s all very well writing a list of the best global wedding planners, but for most brides, hiring an international agency is slightly out of their budget. Instead, we wanted to create a list especially for our brides in the United States of the best planners in the country!
