In this age of working couples and real concerns over getting the most for your money, there are many reasons to consider hiring a wedding coordinator or consultant to help plan your celebration. In times gone by, wedding planning was something brides and their mothers often took on a few months before the wedding as a fun, full-time enterprise. But these days, many brides, and many of their moms, are fully occupied with careers. A wedding coordinator can take you through the entire planning process, from selecting and booking your sites, to putting together the guest list, to getting the wedding party down the aisle without undue headaches.
