Is Hiring A Wedding Planner Worth It?

Raise your hand if you have planned a wedding before…

If your hand did not raise, or even if it did, it’s a pretty good bet that hiring a wedding planner is worth it! There are so many decisions that go into planning, loads of emails, meetings and brainstorming creative ways to personalize your wedding. Maybe you are up for all of that! Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start? Don’t worry, we include two tiers of planning in your wedding package here at The Maples Estate and can add full planning and design for those that are looking for full service planning!


Wedding Coaching

Many of our couples are super creative and have that grand vision for what they would like to pull off - some know they want a weekend experience but are overwhelmed by the thought of personalizing their wedding day, are not sure where to begin or what to check off their to do list at any given moment.

For these couples Coaching, also known as partial planning is a great way to get started in your planning. Guest, what - it’s now included in your wedding package!

  1. a personalized design board created for you

  2. a wedding budget outlined, and

  3. a clear direction for finding vendors you love!

  4. We also check in throughout your wedding planning process to steer you in the right direction and keep things in track.

With a NY Wedding Planner owning The Maples Estate, we give you all the tools you need to build a truly unique extended weekend wedding. We even provide large list of talented vendors and a digital wedding planning checklist in your client portal. That piece-of-mind and expert in your back pocket is such a great way to ensure your planning journey is fun and productive and that your wedding weekend runs smoothly!


Coordination Services

We even include Coordination Services in your weekend wedding package so we will work with you 8 weeks prior to your wedding to wrap up all those last minute details, build your timeline for the weekend, support you with event layouts, take over your vendor communication and run your wedding day for you.


Full Wedding Planning & Design

Are you super busy or think you might get overwhelmed with lots of tasks, emails to send, and meetings to be had? We know it can feel like adding a full time job to your plate, not to mention the overwhelm that comes from a deep dive on pinterest, scrolling through million dollar weddings on instagram or listening to your friends or family trying to steer you in the ‘right’ direction. There are so many different decisions to be made that it’s often hard to know where to even start or keep the ball rolling.
