The ring is on. The excitement is real. And suddenly… everyone has an opinion.

This is where a wedding planner becomes your greatest asset.

Planning Isn’t Just About the Wedding Day

Hiring a planner early helps with:

  • Budget clarity

  • Vendor referrals

  • Realistic timelines

  • Design cohesion

  • Stress reduction

Planner vs Coordinator—What’s the Difference?

  • Full-Service Planner: Guides every decision from start to finish

  • Day-Of Coordinator: Executes what you’ve already planned

Knowing which you need early prevents overwhelm later.

Why Early Support Matters

Couples who hire planners early:

  • Make fewer costly mistakes

  • Avoid decision fatigue

  • Enjoy the engagement season instead of rushing through it

At Yours Truly, we believe your engagement should be joyful—not buried in spreadsheets and stress.

Planning support isn’t a luxury—it’s peace of mind.
