We talk to Yorkshire's Moxie Events about how to handle the pressures of wedding planning

With the pressure of full-time jobs, many couples struggle to find time to organise their wedding. Is it worth investing in a  wedding planner? We ask Yorkshire wedding planner Moxie Events...

The simple answer is to ask someone who has hired a wedding planner. If you don't know anyone who has, then check out wedding planners' websites to research what services they provide and read their testimonials. Most professionals would be happy for you to contact their clients, should you wish.

With few up-front tangible benefits, it's sometimes difficult for couples to recognise how beneficial working with a Yorkshire wedding planner can be. Most experts offer bespoke services that are based around full planning, wedding venue and supplier sourcing, budgeting, partial planning, on-the-day coordination through to design and styling. You can hire one at any stage of your journey too, it might be right at the beginning to plan it from scratch or it might be later in the process when you just need management on the day. Some planners charge a percentage of the overall budget, whereas some have an hourly rate.

Every couple's needs are different. The main thing is whether they're suitable for you. Do they fit your style? Do you love what their clients say about them? Most importantly, are they a person you'd like to work with? You need to feel relaxed and confident that you've chosen the right wedding planner for you.
