The Wedding day, especially in Nigerian culture, is an event one cannot afford to take chances on. Everything has to be perfect. Imperfection is simply not an option. It is usually a shock to the Nigerian bride who has been waiting all her life for this special day, when everything doesn't go to plan. The truth however, is that the bride is usually the reason why the wedding day does not exceed expectations.

Here’s why, Nigerian Brides are usually Control Freaks! They want to control and organise every tiny detail of the big day, from the Food, decorations, drinks, entertainment and any other thing within thier reach. Brides forget that on their special day they should be occupied with feeling and looking beautiful, not stressing about the amount and consistency of the Jollof rice on the menu.

Wedding planning and management should be left to proffessionals, leaving the bride to savor each moment of this once in a life time event. Below are a few ways an event planner can lower your blood pressure on your special day.

Save Cost

One of the fears most people have for not hiring a wedding planner is the cost they imagine they will have to bear for their services. But that is actually not the case when you hire a reliable wedding planner. The truth is most people fail to realize that most wedding planners work in partnership with events vendors such as caterers, event decorators, ushers, drinks suppliers, rental service businesses and so on. If for instance you decide you can hire a caterer to do your cooking for you and you decide to handle every other thing, guess what? You’ll miss out on discounts vendors grant wedding planners and therefore spend more.

Crowd Control

How can you tell who is an invited guest or not at your wedding? Perhaps some invited friends may invite their friends as well that way attracting more mouths for your food, how about when it’s time to handle sharing of gifts/souvenirs? It’s scary and embarrassing when people struggle to receive souvenirs at weddings, I can imagine how the bride and groom will be saddened by such a sight. Wedding planners take all these different scenarios into account, making sure that there is always a back-up plan to diffuse any awkward situations.

Excellent Service

Weddings are all about the ambience, there's no better way to ensure a romantic ambience than through top-notch service. It is the work of the wedding planner to ensure that the Musicians, Emcee, Ushers and other staff deliver above average service at your wedding. “if the emcee, band/DJ and Ushers offer low quality service, the whole event is messed up already” those are the words of Zarah Bliss one of Abuja’s top wedding planners.

Appropriate your resources

The difference between a great wedding and a mediocre one is not the size of the budget but how the budget is used approriately. Some people make the mistake of spending too much on drinks and very little on souvenirs so that guests leave the event without anything to show for their attendance. Sometimes a great venue is picked but the quality of food is very poor or doesn’t go round. Other times a modest venue is chosen and there is too much food that eventually goes to waste. How do you know how to appropriate resources so you don’t waste or under spend? The answer is to pick a reliable wedding planner who is an expert at determining how your budget should be used to create your perfect wedding.

A good wedding planner can help you create a Wedding you’ll always remember fondly. To find a reliable wedding planner here in Abuja, try Zarah Bliss
