Hiring The Best Las Vegas Wedding Planner... How We Can Help You!

Planning a wedding can be an exciting journey, but as you start thinking about all the details, decisions, and research involved, it can quickly become overwhelming. With a full-time job or other commitments, finding time and energy to plan can be challenging, even with a helpful family member.  But what happens when a family member’s opinions become too much or the wedding weekend arrives and they want to enjoy the fun? This is where a wedding planner can step in and alleviate the stress, guide you through the decision-making process, and ensure that you and your loved ones can fully enjoy the day. 

The best kas vegas wedding planners are industry experts who can offer invaluable resources to create a personalized, beautiful, and seamless event while respecting your budget. A planner allows you, and anyone else involved in the planning process, the chance to focus on the overall details and what most consider the “fun” parts of the planning process (menu tasting, design, etc.) while they handle the logistics and back and forth details with the vendors involved. 

Many planning companies, like SunRae Planning offer a variety of packages ranging from wedding management to full-service planning. These packages may vary between planning companies, however, at the core of what all these packages include is ensuring the wedding day runs smoothly. Sounds simple, right? The reality is your planner will spend anywhere from 30-40 hours on an event management package and 150+ hours for a full-service package -and around an average of 10 hours straight on your wedding day alone! Let’s briefly break down the high-level difference between an event management package and a full-service package, and what a planner might be responsible for in each of these offerings:

Event Management:

• Our event management package is great for clients who feel comfortable finding and securing their vendors and creating a design but know that they want a professional to help guide them through the process and be there day-of to make sure everything comes together seamlessly and without having to worry about the logistics on their wedding day!

  • Examples: 

    • We start helping you with the planning process from the minute you contract with us and send you a monthly wedding planning checklist to help keep you on track!

    • Help you create a comprehensive wedding weekend timeline to share with vendors as well as you and your wedding party

    • Are onsite on the wedding day directing vendors and ensuring the timeline is being followed and the day runs smoothly

Full-Service:

• Our Full-Service Package is great for our busy professionals who know they want a beautifully planned and executed wedding but don't have the time to plan it themselves and don't necessarily know where to start!

  • Examples: 

    • We are with you from the beginning, sometimes even before you have selected a date and location

    • Assist in establishing a vision and realistic budget 

    • Connect you with professional vendors to bring your vision to life and will review all contracts

    • Communicates all details and logistics with vendors throughout the entire planning process

    • Help create a cohesive design based on your vision and budget

    • Create a comprehensive wedding weekend timeline to share with vendors as well as you and your wedding party

    • Are onsite on the wedding day directing vendors and ensuring the timeline is being followed and the day runs smoothly

While planning packages offer many essential services, there are countless other tasks that your planner can do to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience for you and your loved ones.

Some of these unknown services are:

1. Fashions a bustle out of safety pins and thread underneath your dress when yours breaks

2. Wipes down your ceremony chairs after unexpected rain shower

3. Makes sure you get appetizers, dinner, and your favorite beverage in hand all night

4. Magically gets all your personal items packed up and where they need to go post-event

5. Makes sure there is a plate and forks by your cake before you cut it so that your ceremonial slice has a place to go

6. Makes sure that champagne toast is actually poured by the caterer before the DJ announces it’s time for toasts

7. Gives you and your partner (and wedding party) breath mints and tissues before walking down the aisle

8. Calls Uber for intoxicated guests

9. Handles all big family/friend personalities and gives them jobs if you need space from them

10. Stays behind after the ceremony to help call out all your extended family to ensure they are around for pictures

11. Brings a portable fan to fan you between pictures when it’s hot outside (also has water and your drink of choice on standby to take sips from between pictures!)

12. Helps out photographer/videographer to get the perfect shot (throws veil in air for wind blown shot, holds extra lights, crouches behind you holding dress so it doesn’t get dirty, etc.)

Ultimately, a wedding planner is an essential investment that brings expertise, experience, and peace of mind to your special day.  Trust your planner and know that they have your best interests at heart.
