Wow, that was INCREDIBLY helpful. You probably do have some idea, but you have no idea!! Haha. I'm in several of the boats you described and am thinking I can handle most of it, with help from family and a couple of extremely great bridesmaids. I feel lucky in many aspects, and I'm so grateful to you for what you've shared here 🙏🏻✨ Wish us luck!
Planning my wedding in June 2024.. I think I got plenty of time to plan. I live for planning 😍 I'd rather save the money. But I think I might consult one with questions regarding contracts if need be found someone local to me that does that for 100$.
Absolutely yes if its more complicated than a sears dress in a backyard with a bbq and a radio station playing music.
Oh wow🤪
Thanks
Also I’m not planning to book any vendors except the venue so that helps
This is really good. I’d just like to point out, if the choices to be made were simply based on the cheapest option that fits a general vision, instead of figuring out “what you want” or “your dream wedding” maybe the average price of weddings would go down, lol.
I’m an organized person but an incredible lot going on in life. Thankfully my man and some family are great sounding boards, and he’s a big researcher. I think we’ll survive these next four months…
250 hours? 😬 A planner sounds like a necessity.
I'd throw all of the hard and expensive stuff on the fiance until he'd agree to elope and eat finger food like I want anyway 😂
I live in rural NSW Australia however my partner and I want to get married in Sydney (we are 7-8hrs drive away) so while I love organising and want to do that but being 7hrs away I’m not going to be able to look at venues every weekend so thank you for the videos cause I have now realise that I may need a wedding planner
How do I find a wedding planner in Utah?
Thanks Lady💕, you are literally saving my butt right now by finding your Channel!!! My husband and I are paying for a wedding reception to be held in Nigeria November 2021 for his little brother. (Did I mention his older sister ALSO has decided to get married that same week…so it will be a shared reception🤯) I am a research Queen👸🏼, and LOVE details…but this two totally different ideas of what they both want makes it a bit of a challenge.You have become my saving grace.
No I'm doing it without one but….What I'm doing isn't easy so it's a give and take
Hi Jamie! I just discovered your channel and it is amazing! My fiancé and I decided to invest on a wedding planner for two main reasons: we are having a destination wedding, so we do not the area and the vendors, as well as a wedding planner and the second reason, is that I am a huge procrastinator, so I would be terrible at planning a wedding on my own. Have you done a video about destination weddings by any chance? Thank you for all the wedding tips.
do i need a coordinator or planner or both or neither? I'm a budget bride but someone who also needs the help. Thank you so much
Do you have a cocktail hour video? 🙂

Love watching your videos! I would love to see a "day in the life of a wedding planner" type video where we could see what you typically do in the lead up to weddings 🙂
My daughter is getting married next June. The best decision I ever made was hiring a wedding planner. She has already saved us so much time and I am taking care of 2 parents with different dementia issues. I am letting my daughter make most of the decisions but the planner is keeping us on budget and my daughter responds much better to the planner than to me when it comes to decisions. Best money I have spent on this wedding!
Can you possibly make a video about contracts? What should we look for? What does it all mean?
Lol, why am I watching these videos?? I'm not even getting married. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm always so amazed by what people consider to be an "affordable" or "low budget" wedding. $20,000 is a lot of money to spend on one party! I was hoping to spend closer to $1000 or less.
Can you make a video about pricing
Thank you so much for all of your videos. I’m getting married in 7 months and holy guacamole your videos have been my saving grace!
I’m planning my mum and stepdad’s wedding in September 2020. I’m so excited! I’ve already got a full 2 year schedule planner for them to work on and we’re booking the venue this week. There’s only going to be 25 people who are mostly family so I feel like it’s not really a ‘huge’ event. Your videos have actually inspired me to look into doing events planning as a career. People are always telling me that I’m over organised, I always have spare hairbands, lip balm and water etc and so I feel like maybe I could do this as a career. Do you have any advice for me, apart from don’t do it? 😂 your video ‘no, you cannot plan your own wedding’ kinda scared me. 😬
Please do a video on choosing a wedding playlist. Include things you going to need a walking down the aisle song, grand entrance song etc. I think that would be very helpful since I’m struggling to find any video on that.
Love from South Africa
I just found your channel today. I got engaged a month ago and I never once thought of any wedding planning before. I feel so clueless, so your videos are super helpful! thank you!!
Can you do a video on having a cocktail style wedding reception?
First time I watched one of your videos I subscribed literally 20 seconds into it!!! You have such an amazing way of explaining things and I absolutely love all of your content!!
As a full time grad student I absolutely need a full on wedding coordinator. Can you talk about what is expected from the bride (time, meetings, etc) or what the bride still has to take care of
evenwith a wedding coordinator in place? I am just trying to get an idea on the planning process!I would LOVE a DIY escort card/Table number video. I love greenery and something simple and easy for guests to understand. Love your channel!!
Might have missed this, but could you do a video on all-inclusive vs piecemeal venues?
Hi!! I just recently found you channel and I can't even begin to explain how much I love your videos! I myself am super interested in getting involved with becoming a wedding coordinator, and wondered how you got started? I'm a college senior and I work for a florist so I'm not a stranger to the wedding business, but definitely have a long way to go haha. If you have any tips on getting started/where to start I'd love to hear about it!!
Jamie, the more and more I watch your videos, it makes me so mad/sad that my wedding planner really isn’t good. All the points you brought up today I either do on my own or with little to no help of my planner. She’s not organize, I have to make spreadsheets for her, and she still won’t fill them out. I have found my own photographer. I’ve asked her for a quote from florists it’s been 2 month and she has yet to give me one. I hired a WC because I live in California and my wedding is in Maui, Hawaii. She’s not helping the way I thought I should expect her to help, and she’s expensive. What can I do to pay less and not have a weird vibe with her the day of the wedding? She makes me so mad, I don’t want her there but I know I’ve paid 50% for her and I don’t know if I have to pay her the full 100% and find someone else. Hellppppppppp!
I don't need a wedding planner, I've got you! No but for real! I love lists, I love administration (cause I'm just not that cool), I'll talk everyone's head off, I've got a specific vision and I'm crafty as fuck! What do I need? A wedding cheerleader who let's me think and talk about weddings as much as I like and give me good advice along the way! What have I got? A Jamie! What more can a bride ask for?
I just like talking!
Jamie, would you please help with our photography decision? We are between two amazing photographers for our destination wedding. One lives in the wedding location, is extremely open, kind, generous, organized, and thoughtful, and comes with an engagement session. Only concern is that some photos have been too bright/overexposed and the tone of surrounding greenery can sometimes appear a bit yellow (important because our wedding is outdoors). Other photographer is out-of-state, kind, and professional, and has consistently absolutely gorgeous photos that we love (never seen a bad one in fact!). But, no engagement session or knowledge of the destination location. The price is nearly the same, with the latter slightly more. Thanks for any input! 🙂 Love your channel!!
My fiance is the same way. He is not interested in the details.
I guess here's a follow up question…how do you shop around and choose a wedding planner if you decide to go that route? Do you pay for a bunch of consultations with various planners, or is there a more affordable interview process? They don't all have amazing youtube channels like yours to get a sense of their personalities, so I'm curious to know how you can pick the right person for you without dropping a ton of cash.
So, here's the thing:
1) I'm Queen of to-do lists
2) I'm definitely a planner
3) I already know like every detail that I want for my wedding (besides maybe the napkins 😂)
4) I already planned my friend's wedding and am about to help plan another friends wedding
5) I LOVE event planning and interior design
However… Not sure I wanna deal with the stress of everything myself 😂 I know that I COULD, but it would probably be stressful with my schedule. I was planning on just having a day of coordinator that I maybe just converse with the last few weeks before the wedding, but now I'm torn. You always do this to me!! 😂
Thanks for this, Jamie! I was literally just spending the last day going back and forth about this. We decided to go with a day-of coordination package. Can you do a follow up about day-of coordination vs. a full service planner? Your videos are so helpful, I've already recommended them to three of my friends who are also in the process. 💛
In Trinidad wedding and event planning is not as advertised.. I opted in for planning my own. So far so good than fully. I have friends who I run my ideas by and that helps a whole lot!! Your vids also assisted me in recognizing aspects that I glossed over like ice for the DIY bar, pins etc lol.
We have a really low budget for our wedding. So when I started to reach out to wedding planners they all had insane starting prices from 2000 to 4000 Euros. Our budget is 15'000. We met with one planner anyway and she said no problem I will fit my cost into your budget, that is my job. She told me to send her my budget and she'd go over it for free. I had everything thing in there from flowers, our rings to my dress. She sent it back with her fee included, same 15'000 but she just deleted my dress and the cost for the hotel we'd be staying at 😅😅😅😅 I was pretty annoyed. Now I do it on my own. Just fun story to share😊😊
I am one of the last of many of my couple friends to get married, and I have heard split opinions on wedding planners. None of them had them and I’ll say this: the ones who had disorganized, thrown together, not enjoyable for guests wedding said “you don’t need one! I did everything on my own!”
The ones who had pleasant, put together, well executed weddings said “if I could go back in time I’d make room in my budget to hire a wedding planner because although my wedding was stunning it cost me my mental sanity for months & deprived me of a happy engagement”
Do with that info what you will😂
I’m good at talking to people and he’s good at at reading contracts and researching info. We make a good team! ☺️❤️ Thanks for being my favorite go-to resource on the internet!
Amazing video, as per usual 💗
Hi Jamie! Could you do a video on music for weddings? Like options for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc., live band vs. dj, how much of a say the couple gets in the songs that are played at the reception, what goes into it, etc. I hadn’t thought much about it before but I realize I don’t really know how it all works! Advice and information would be much appreciated 🙂
