Myth #1: Wedding planners are expensive.
This is one of the most common myths about wedding planners. However, the truth is that the cost of hiring a wedding planner varies greatly. There are many affordable wedding planners available, and the cost of hiring one can often be offset by the savings you'll realize by not having to do all the planning yourself.

Myth #2: Wedding planners are only for big weddings.
Another common myth is that wedding planners are only for big weddings. However, this is not the case. Wedding planners can help couples of all sizes plan their weddings, no matter how big or small. I along with most other planners work with anything from two people elopements right up to large celebrations.

Myth #3: Wedding planners will take over your wedding.
This is a fear that many couples have. However, it's important to remember that wedding planners are there to help you, not take over. They will work with you to create a wedding that reflects your vision, and they will never try to force their own ideas on you. After all, your wedding should reflect your own dreams and desires.

Myth #4: You don't need a wedding planner if you have a Pinterest board.
Pinterest is a great resource for wedding inspiration, but it's not a substitute for a wedding planner. A wedding planner has the experience and expertise to help you bring your vision to life. They can also help you stay on budget and avoid making costly mistakes.

Myth #5: Wedding planners are all the same.
This is simply not true. There are many different types of wedding planners, each with their own unique style and approach. It's important to interview several wedding planners before you make a decision, so that you can find one who is a good fit for you and your wedding.
