7 REASONS TO HIRE A FULL-SERVICE WEDDING PLANNER | BUSTLE EVENTS LUXURY WEDDING PLANNER
Your wedding day is the ultimate proclamation of love. Surrounded by friends and family, you get to celebrate this huge milestone and embark on your new life together. What makes your love story even more extravagant is that there’s none quite like it. Your story is as unique as a fingerprint, composed of your distinct personalities, individual preferences, and special nuances, all of which contribute to a one-of-a-kind relationship. In turn, you deserve a wedding day designed especially for you—not any other couple. The Bustle Events wedding planning team goes beyond standard planning services to offer a fully customizable experience that authentically reflects you as a couple. Full-service wedding planning services elevate your dream wedding into a day you’ll never forget.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEDDING COORDINATOR, WEDDING DESIGNER, AND WEDDING PLANNER?
Wedding coordinators and designers are not simply cheaper versions of wedding planners (although there is a price difference). Each professional offers certain services depending on your needs or situation:
Typically, a wedding coordinator focuses solely on the logistics and does not enter the picture until a month out or even just the day of your wedding. For couples who want small, intimate, or DIY weddings, a wedding coordinator can help tremendously by overseeing the day so that the couple can relax and enjoy without stressing over vendor coordination and other day-of details. A coordinator can help with things such as vendor contracts, payments, ceremony rehearsal, etc.
A wedding designer works on the opposite side of the spectrum, focusing solely on wedding aesthetics, design, and style. A wedding designer can help with lighting, seating, setup, floral arrangements, and décor. In short, a wedding designer will help you transform your venue into an artistic vision.
And finally, a wedding planner is an all-inclusive, comprehensive wedding service. Wedding planning takes everything into account from start to finish. Invitation design, venue selection, budget, stylistic vision, personalized details, wedding timeline, setup, and vendor coordination—you name it, we do it.
STANDARD WEDDING PLANNING VS. FULL-SERVICE LUXURY WEDDING PLANNING
Furthermore, there’s a distinction between standard wedding planning services and luxury or full-service wedding planning services. You can compare it to buying a new home. If you go with a standard home builder, they’ll offer a handful of limited options that fit within their pre-made floor plans and select contractors. However, if you build a custom home, you can customize every detail, from the floorplan to the light fixtures to design your dream home.
As luxury wedding planners, we only partner with a few couples each year in order to offer the most personalized service, fully attentive to your preferences, vision, and needs. And while we are incredibly detail-oriented, our services center around relationships. We truly enjoy hearing your story, getting to know you, and helping you plan a wedding that’s distinctly yours.
7 REASONS TO HIRE A FULL-SERVICE WEDDING PLANNER
1. STRESS-FREE PLANNING
After the proposal, many couples look forward to the planning process. However, if you have busy work schedules or significant life changes to balance, planning a wedding may seem more daunting than exciting—and we don’t want that for you! Maybe you have a vision and need help carrying it out or simply don’t have time to put all the details together. Full-service wedding planning services eliminate stress by giving you peace of mind and delivering a wedding day that exceeds expectations.
Customized planning means that you can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want throughout the process. Either way, we implement a streamlined yet personalized planning process to ensure that we account for every detail.
2. SEAMLESS DESIGN & DAY-OF COORDINATION
Every detail contributes to the overall experience of your wedding day. Original design pieces, personalized details, and extraordinary wedding events all work toward elevating the day for you and your guests.
We’ll thoughtfully curate each element toward the overall design for a cohesive wedding experience that feels completely effortless on your part. Ambiance and atmosphere are vital to creating an experience. With all the pieces in place, your day is set up for incredible moments that turn into lasting memories.
3. CUSTOMIZED DETAILS
You tell us your preferences and vision, and we’ll make sure that your wedding day is unlike any other, brimming with personalized details. Each exceptional piece will contribute to your signature wedding style and theme, from the invitation calligraphy and wedding signage to the ceremony backdrop and coordinating tablescapes.
4. COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
Whether you opt for a romantic destination wedding in sunny Cabo or picturesque Italy, or a dreamy garden wedding in California, so much goes into planning your perfect wedding. Before fine-tuning the details, we take a step back and look at the entire wedding day—or week—as a whole. From the rehearsal dinner to the post-wedding brunch and everything in between, a full-service wedding planner will consider every element, such as:
· Wedding budget
· Overall design & theme
· Ceremony details
· Vendor selection & coordination
· Wedding-day logistics (preparation, photos, seating, rentals & setup, schedule of events, etc.)
· Transportation for the couple, wedding party, and guests
· Hotel accommodations
· Style & décor
5. PERSONALIZED CARE
Full-service wedding planning considers every component of your day. Our team of planning professionals is fully invested in your wedding experience from beginning to end. Our sole purpose is to bring your wedding vision to life, and we begin by listening.
It’s your wedding day, so we put you first and strive to answer all of your questions, and provide you with resources to make the process easy and fun. We’re here when you need us. So, go ahead and tell us all about your career, hobbies, collections, and favorite movies. Those are the things that will inspire us as we plan and design your dream wedding.
For instance, one of our brides hinted at her love of plants and all things green, and the groom snuck into a conversation that his favorite movie is “Love Actually.” So, we met Amanda Vidmar to create a floating chuppah out of delicate greenery, and a singer and brass brand popped out and surprised the groom.

6. EXPERT ADVICE
Sorting through each piece of the wedding planning process can seem a bit daunting. You begin to research wedding florists in your area, and hundreds of searches pop up for you to sift through and vet.
Our years of experience working with top-rated professionals in the industry gives inside knowledge and access to network with the best of the best. Instead of spending endless hours researching vendors and options, let us help you select a team of wedding professionals to best suit your style, personality, and taste.
We don’t simply choose from a shortlist of preferred vendors. We take time to listen to your story, vision, and style preferences and then offer suggestions based on your input. Our personalized recommendations vary by the couple, so you don’t waste time looking at venues or vendors who don’t fit your style and needs.
7. THERE FOR YOU FROM BEGINNING TO END
Booking your wedding planner should be the very first step you take in the planning process. As soon as you’re ready to begin, we recommend partnering with a wedding planner right away. A wedding planner will help you plan your wedding from the ground up, making sure everything works together cohesively. Some couples regretfully book their venue first, only to realize that the venue does not accommodate their style or needs. Get the most of your full-service wedding planning package by utilizing your planner from the start.
