FAQs

Planning a wedding takes most couples between 250–528 hours.

Studies by Zola and The Knot found that couples spend:

— An average of 250+ hours planning their wedding.

— Up to 528 hours if they’re planning a more complex or personalised event.

— This equates to 3–6 months of full-time work, on top of their regular workload.

96% of couples experience wedding-planning stress.

The Knot’s 2024 survey found that:

— 71% say that it caused conflict in their relationship.

— 59% described it as “overwhelming.”

— 25%+ of brides called planning their wedding the most stressful event of their lives.

— 48% say managing the budget caused the most stress.

For these reasons, 1 in 3 weddings now involve a planner (The Knot 2023).

Couples without a planner can overspend by 20–30% (The Knot).

Experienced planners:

— Negotiate pricing and contracts with venues and vendors

— Streamline planning and processes to avoid last-minute rush fees

— Closely manage the production budget to avoid overspend

— Problem-solve and use their network to establish the best possible outcome within the budget allocated.

Ultimately, having a planner can help negate the cost of the planning service itself.

47% of couples regret not hiring a planner (WeddingWire, 2023).

71% of couples also wish they’d hired their planner sooner.

When reflecting post-wedding, couples said (WeddingWire 2023):

— They didn’t understand the scale and complexity of the project until it was too late.

— They booked an unsuitable venue and/or vendors as they didn’t know the right questions to ask upfront.

— They booked things out of order and had to redo work.

— Their vision ended up less cohesive than expected.

Couples with planners enjoy their wedding day 2× more than those without.

A 2022 Wedding Industry Report found that couples who hired planners:

— Reported twice the emotional enjoyment on the day.

— Had 70% fewer on-the-day hiccups.

— Were 80% more satisfied with their overall experience.

92% of couples say professional planning elevated their wedding and photography.

Wedding planners and stylists are trained professionals with years of experience. They:

— Translate your vision into design, which reflects your personality and story.

— Manage theming and décor logistics, from sourcing items, to coordinating how everything looks and feels on the day.

— They deliver cohesion, ensuring your colour palette, florals, furniture, lighting, signage and stationery feel intentional and unified.
