Wedding Planners

Not really sure what a Wedding Planner does?

Here are the basics of what we, The Bride's Butler can do, and how we help you with your most special day.

• We're experts in the Wedding Industry and are in the know of todays trends. Our knowledge can help you save money, time and stress searching online, in magazines and with vendors.

• We've got connections. We can help you secure trusted professionals (Friendors) that often extend discounts to clients of certified Wedding Planners.

• We're there for you. A Wedding Planner works for you - not for your venue, or your photographer, or for your crazy Auntie Carla - we are working for you - the happy couple. Your wish is our command (within reason of course!)

• Wedding Planners will take time to discuss your needs, ideas and wants for your wedding. We help you problem solve, answer questions, point you in the right direction and help guide you through a fun, yet often  stressful planning process.

• We do not plan your entire wedding and make it our own. It is your wedding day, and we make sure that your personalities shine through in all of your decisions. There are lot's of choices when planning, in fact you will make over 177 decisions before you walk down the aisle.

• We're organized. We can provide you with spreadsheets and timelines to help you stay organized too.

• We can be your personal therapist. Like we've said, wedding planning can be stressful, and when other opinions are involved (mothers, sisters, cousins, bridesmaids, etc) it can get frustrating. We are here for you - for an ear to vent to, a shoulder to cry on and to play the role of 'negotiator'.

• Wedding Planners can be hired for Full Wedding Planning where we are with you every step of the way. We help guide your decisions, source vendors and resources and work towards saving you time, money and stress.

• Wedding Planners can also be Wedding Coordinators. This role is for Day of Coordination services - where you plan your wedding, but we make the magic happen. You can't be too places at once. We take care of all the details so that you can enjoy being a blushing Bride.

• We are affordable. Wedding Planners aren't as expensive as you think. Ask any Bride who didn't hire a Planner and they would tell you that they wish they did. Hindsight is 20/20. In comparison for what you pay for your photographer, florist, dress and cake - we are very affordable for the services we provide.

So, think you have a better idea as to what a Wedding Planner does? Still not sure? Check out our website, or come visit us tonight at the Ancaster Wedding Show.

Questions? We love meeting with Brides-to-be and their Grooms for a complimentary coffee & chat so we can discuss how we can work together and be your official "Bride's Butler".

Keep Calm...

And Hire A Planner.

A relaxed Bride is what we aim to achieve when assisting couples with our popular "Day of Coordination" services. A calm Bride is one that trusts their Planner and enjoys their day.

Stress Less. We just can't say it enough.

More and more couples are turning to Wedding Planners to help them with their wedding plans because there are simply too many options, decisions and things to do before your big day.

Come visit us this Friday, March 25th from 4pm to 9pm at the Ancaster Wedding Show at Night.
We'll be on hand to answer questions, give advice and inform you about the services we offer to help you "stress less". Plus, only at the show will we be offering you the chance to WIN additional savings on our services - with our "Choose a Love Quote" game.

Congrats Lisa & Jon!

A big congratulations to love birds Lisa & Jon! They got married on October 9th, 2010.

I met Lisa through The Ancaster Wedding Show and she took advantage of the promotion we were having of $100 off Day of Coordination services. She seemed a little stressed with her wedding quickly approaching, so I was glad to be able to help relieve some of her anxiety and reassure her that I would help her take care of a lot of the finer details on her wedding day.

My Assistant for the day was Erin, who also is a WPIC Alumni and was looking for another wedding to volunteer for to get her feet wet. She did a great job helping me out with executing Lisa's plans as well as accompanying the wedding party on their photo shoot to 3 different locations.

Lisa & Jon met on the internet, and they are quite the cute couple! They have great family and friends, and I simply adored her Uncle who was the MC for their wedding.

The ceremony was held at a local United Church and their reception was at the Renaissance Hall in Hamilton. The gals wore a deep purple which complimented Lisa's fall theme nicely. She had a few details that were personalized - my favourite being the ring pillow that her nephew held as Ring Bearer was a baseball on top of a bed of fake grass! This was because Jon proposed to Lisa while at a baseball game. Too cute!

Overall, Lisa & Jon had a great wedding day - the weather was beautiful, no major issues arose, and everyone had a great time dancing and socializing.

Wishing Lisa & Jon all the best in their new life together, we're very thankful to have been a part of your special day!
