the planner

so in the beginning we were waiting for our budget to flush out a bit more before we decided if we wanted a wedding planner.  we decided that we didnt have the funds for it so we wanted to be super detailed about the timeline etc.

then Angie came along!  she asked if i had a planner and of course i said no.  she said she wanted to plan my wedding!  she was trying to start her own event planning business since quitting her office job.  i gladly agreed.

she basically became my day of coordinator and i was so grateful for having her.  i knew in the back of my mind that we probably needed someone to "run the show" backstage.  and it was so nice!  i didnt really have much to stress out about.  looking back angie probably took on a lot of the stress.  i was reading articles about why wedding planners are great.  they can save money with their connections etc.  but for me it was all day of.  a week prior to the wedding we took a lot of time and a lot of emails to really flush out the schedule and timeline of events.  i knew that it would payoff and help make things run a lot smoother.

angie is also just so sweet.  she remains calm but cheerful and doesnt show much stress.  it was so nice to have her around
