Details
Whether it's a small and simple wedding on the beach or a huge wedding with a thousand guests the things that
end up making the perfect wedding are the tiny details.  Sure, everybody will be happy, the married couple will be
on their honeymoon and the guests will remember a great time.  But hidden inside for years are the tiny details that were overlooked or that didn't go as planned.  These details are the reason that you don't always want to go it alone and that wedding planners is an occupation.  Wedding planners are paid to pay attention to all your details and help your wedding go exactly as planned.

But it's just a small wedding on the beach...
I can't count the times I've heard that!  And then when the wind starts blowing a little stronger than expected and the alter blows away because it wasn't anchored down, that's when I sit back at a distance and say "wow, this could have easily been avoided"...

I can do it myself!
No doubt, I am certain that you are able to.  But it isn't possible to plan a wedding, attend the wedding and do all of the work at the wedding too!  Though I have actually seen brides who thought they could!  Just last month I watched as the bride arrived at the reception about 15 minutes late, everyone was seated and she realized that the cake wasn't there.  So off she went in her car with her bridesmaid down to the bakery to pickup the cake that was forgotten about by the brides brother.  Again, you CAN do it yourself, but why would you?
