POV: The benefits of hiring a professional planner. 1. Expertise and Experience Professional event planners bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. They know the ins and outs of event planning, from the most minute detail to the big picture. Their expertise ensures that every aspect of your event is meticulously planned and executed. 2. Industry Connections Professional planners have established relationships with vendors, venues, and suppliers. These connections often result in better deals, exclusive access, and superior quality services that might be challenging to secure on your own. 3. Creative Vision A professional planner can take your vision and elevate it, suggesting creative ideas and themes that you might not have considered. They have an eye for what works, ensuring your event is not just functional but aesthetically stunning. 4. Time and Stress Reduction Perhaps the most significant benefit is the reduction in stress and time commitment. With a planner handling the details, you can focus on enjoying the process and the event itself, without being bogged down by the nitty-gritty of planning. 5. Problem-Solving Skills No event is without its hiccups. Professional planners are seasoned problem-solvers who can handle unforeseen issues swiftly and efficiently, often without you even knowing there was an issue. While DIY event planning might seem appealing initially, the risks and stress it brings can detract from the enjoyment and success of your event. Partnering with a professional planner not only alleviates these issues but enhances the overall experience, ensuring your event is not just memorable but also a reflection of professional excellence. Remember, the goal is not just to host an event but to create an experience ā something a professional planner is adept at delivering. #bessandbeau #wedding #weddingplanner #weddingdesigner

Weāve been doing a lot of work in the studio lately. Our office suite is comprised of two studio spaces plus a bathroom. We remodeled the bathroom last year, painted and hung fixtures in the front office last year also. This year we changed the back office into a crafts room for our sister company @bessandbeaucreative (photos of that reno is over on the BBC IG). While we were changing things up I decided to update the front studio (which is where we do our consultations and client meetings). We donated the vintage furniture to @restoredurhamorange and I purchased new chairs and tables to fill the space. We did keep the antique settee that I refinished last year, but that was about it. I love the clean, modern vibe the studio has now. ā¤ļø #bessandbeau #officespace #studiorenovation
