Question

Do a lot of Americans use a wedding planner?

Answer 1

I would decide to use a wedding planner based on how many other people use them.  It should be a case by case decision to use one.  If you that you cannot plan the wedding of your dreams by yourself or with some family help then maybe you need a wedding planner.  All of the wedding I've been to recently (about 5) have not used wedding planners and they were all great.  Good luck

Answer 2

No, I planned my who wedding by myself.  I don't know anyone who has used a wedding planner.  They are very expensive.  

Answer 3

I don't think so. Unless you're wealthy, have some time to plan the wedding and have a large budget, then maybe we have a wedding planner. i did my wedding in 3 months, had 150 people there and not  a lot of money. it was a great wedding.

Answer 4

I think so! But I think it's a waste of money to have someone plan YOUR wedding!! The only thing I might do is hire someone 2 weeks before my wedding, so I don't have to do anything on my big day!

Answer 5

Most of the time yes.

Answer 6

Most  of the younger couples seem to be using them more and more. My wife and I did all of our planning on our own.............the old fashioned way. :)

Answer 7

If they can afford it, they are pretty pricey..

Answer 8

Only if you are very wealthy or lazy.

I have had absolutely no problem planning my own wedding. I'm getting married in a little over a year and have planned alomst everything with-in the past 2 months, so, if I can do it myself in 2 months, then I don't see the need to pay someone to do it in a longer time frame. Plus, by doing it myself, I have had total control over everything. I work over 60 hours a week, yet still have had time to plan it all.

Answer 9

I don't know how many or what percentage of American brides use a wedding planner.  I am and as a result, my wedding planning process is a LOT less stressful then before I hired him.  I don't have to worry about what type of tent to use, where exactly to place it, what time to tell all the vendors to come, cleanup, etc.

BTW, my wedding planner discount prices on all the vendors (except hair and makeup).  His fee is being paid with the money I saved on the discount prices.  So my wedding with a planner costs the same as if I didn't have one.  It's a myth that planners are only for wealthy people.
