If you've ever wondered whether a wedding planner is worth it, this episode is for you. I sat down with Vanesa, a professional wedding planner and coordinator based in Austin, Texas, to break down exactly what planners and coordinators do, when to hire them, and why your wedding day will only be as good as the vendors you choose. In this episode we cover: What's the difference between a wedding planner, coordinator, and designer — and which one you actually need When to start looking for a planner (hint: as soon as you're engaged) The parts of wedding planning most couples overlook — transportation, staffing, and vendor expertise How to budget for a planner — full service planning typically runs about 10% of your overall budget What a coordinator actually does on wedding day, and why that matters more than you think Where couples tend to overspend (small details) and underspend (logistics and staffing) Vanesa's number one piece of advice for every engaged couple Find Vanesa: Website: vanesacoevents.com Instagram: @vanesacoevents TikTok: @vanesacoevents WedSociety: https://austin.wedsociety.com/vendors/vanesa-co-events/

Spoiler: the video did not go well. Well, it was fine, but in the middle of wedding season, Candace (that's me, hi) has not had time to edit the video and match up the sound and post it to YouTube and all that jazz. Maybe in a few weeks... In the meantime, follow us on socials :D https://www.instagram.com/howtoweddingpodcast/
