That’s where Nebraska WeddingDay comes in. We’re here to aid you in determining some of the wedding myths floating around today and how to handle the misperceptions of others. In the end, you must make your own judgment calls, but it never hurts to have a little help.

A Wedding Planner is an Unnecessary Expense. Sure, wedding planners cost money. Doesn’t everything these days? But a wedding planner can offer invaluable advice, save you from headaches and end up actually saving you money with her business connections. Consider this scenario: You’re trying to negotiate a sensible group rate with a hotel for your out-of-town guests. They aren’t budging on what you consider to be an unreasonable amount of money for your guests to spend.You have your heart set on this particular hotel and are beginning to get frustrated. Enter your wedding planner, stage right.You’ve been wasting valuable wedding planning time on an issue that isn’t going to get resolved by you alone. Your wedding planner has worked with this hotel before and brought them years of business. She can use that previous business relationship with the hotel sales manager to not only settle on a more satisfactory cost, but also save you the time and effort of trying to work out a situation that wasn’t going your way. Everyone wins!
