Benefits of Hiring a Wedding Planner
There are advantages to hiring a destination wedding planner that you may not have been aware of before the planning process. For example, the time commitment is usually something couples don’t even realize until a couple of months in. To go even further, a destination wedding has its own separate checklist from a local wedding.
In hiring a wedding expert, you are able to make your vision a reality. They create unique design concepts that truly reflect the couple in their destination location. We are sharing the top benefits you get as a couple when hiring a destination wedding planner!
Vendor Communication
Over the years of working in the wedding industry, we have built deep connections and relationships with many other destination wedding vendors. In having a list of people we have not only worked with but trust, we are able to advise our couples with highly-rated businesses that you may not find on google. Once we have done some matchmaking with those we see best fit for our couples, we do a majority of the back and forth communication ourselves. Sometimes we even get a better offer or negotiation depending on the circumstance.
Troubleshooting The Unexpected
One of our biggest goals is for a smooth timeline on your wedding day. We create and go through a detailed schedule with all of your vendors so everyone is on the same page. However, if for whatever reason something doesn’t go as planned - your wedding planner is there to take care of it. We are problem solvers and think on our toes. We can honestly say any scenario- whether someone is late, a no show, something stops working - we have a backup plan before anyone in the wedding party will even hear about it. I mean there are no problems, just solutions, right? ;)
Insight Knowledge To The Location
It’s very important when choosing your wedding destination location, the couple acknowledges the city or town’s culture and traditions. By having a destination wedding expert by your side, they are able to directly educate and share any vital information. You and your wedding planner can even come up with respectful ways to honor the location of your wedding. All while keeping the couple’s vision and best interest in mind.
Budget Planning
Wedding planners are there to help you prioritize and spend your budget wisely. We look at your goals and create conscious decision-making to put both you and your loved one at ease. We provide a budget sheet you can see the average costs for each part of the wedding. It’s just as important for us as it is for you to stay on budget. This support is maintained throughout the entire wedding planning process. By updating the budget, our couples always know where they stand and there are no surprises at the end. What we also see most commonly happen is forgetting to leave some cushion room things not thought of, for example, wedding vendor tips or fees/taxes.
At IDO Events, we help our brides and grooms create a stress-free environment while still ensuring they are overly prepared for their wedding day. We love working with couples from all over the world and getting to create a special bond throughout the process. In loving what we do, we have the opportunity to embrace that on every occasion we get the chance to plan. For us, there is nothing more special than bringing people together for a memorable day.

“Within a few weeks, IDO Events did an incredible job of helping us find a location, arranging the service providers, and planning an incredibly beautiful wedding for us. Since even a small wedding requires a lot of communication and coordination, it was the best decision to have Sharon plan it for us - especially on the day of the wedding we were able to relax and enjoy the day because Sharon took care of the entire process and lovingly took care of many small details. It was unbelievably valuable that all service providers had one point of contact.”
