Bridal Survey Says...                    

"My one piece of advice for brides-to-be: do not attempt to be the guest of honor and the event planner all in one day. It's stressful and nearly impossible for you and your husband to enjoy yourself." (1)

"I would have hired someone like a coordinator for that day to help keep things on schedule. Everything went really well, I just worried too much. I guess I thought it would be simple with a small gathering. I didn't anticipate all the distractions that you have as a bride. In the end it was hard to stay on top of things. My advice for brides is to hire a wedding coordinator to keep things running smoothly the day of the wedding." (2)

"I would have hired a wedding coordinator. I am not a 'planner' by nature so I found the whole process very difficult for me. I didn't enjoy the planning one bit, which made me very resentful towards my fiance'." (2)

"I would have hired a day-of coordinator. It got irritating when people would ask questions like, 'where should I put the extra programs?' after the ceremony." (3)
