Usually when I participate in wedding shows or open houses, I get that quick sideways glance that means "I don't want to talk to a planner because they cost too much" or "We've got everything in control!" I don't take it personally, but I do often wonder how their wedding day is really going to turn out if they aren't comfortable enough to speak to someone who knows more about weddings than all their friends and family put together. I'm not saying you can't have a very nice wedding without a planner, but what they don't know can definitely hurt them.
However, at the last wedding show I participated in, I got a great response to my latest planning option which gives peace of mind for a couple on any budget. I can't get the word out fast enough because I want to help as many couples as possible!
This planning option is called "The Wedding Day Tour Guide" and is like getting all of the benefits of a day-of coordinator but about half the price because I'm not actually at the wedding. You have the benefits of having a wedding planner go over everything with a fine-toothed comb (and phone consultations) to make the best attempt to have your wedding day run smoothly. Maybe the best thing is that the entire wedding is planned by 30 days before the wedding! All vendors are contacted, all contracts reviewed, bridal party and participating family members receive a 16-hour detailed timeline that is segmented in 15-minute increments. This planning option works for long-distance couples as well.
To learn more, here is a link to the YouTube video for "The Wedding Day Tour Guide".

The Wedding Day Tour Guide goes beyond the planning process before the wedding. This option is more like having a "Day-of" Coordinator onsite without being there. It's tailored to give a couple peace of mind on their wedding day itself.
