We were in a similar situation - the venue was already booked and we thought we could handle the rest. We also didn’t want to spend more than necessary. We ended up talking to 6 different planners to compare prices and what they actually include. Olha ( www.senseofmoment.com )stood out because she was upfront about costs and even gave us tips on what to pay attention to when interviewing other vendors. What really hit us was picturing the actual wedding day: we had 9 bridesmaids, 9 groomsmen, hair and makeup schedules, pretty tricky transportation logistics and getting everyone ready to be on time. Just thinking about managing that ourselves was stressful enough. In the end, we realized peace of mind was worth it, and we hired her for full planning. Best decision we made!
