"Reality Wedding TV" & What a Wedding Planner Can Do For You

As you may know, I am the Wedding Expert on www.NewJerseyNewsroom.com. In this month's Questions and Answers, I responded to 2 very different questions - one about wedding reality TV and one about wedding planners.

The first question came from Rozlyn and dealt with how "real" is "reality" TV as it relates to the wedding shows, and where to go to get great advice on wedding planning. As we all know, shows aren't put on TV unless there's some sort of drama - whether real or created. So, in response to this question, I recommend that she take a listen to the Wedding Podcast Network. Founded by Robert Allen and his wife Holli, this wide-ranging series of podcasts interview experts as well as "real couples." The information imparted on these podcasts is as real as it gets! Also, Allen is an award-winning videographer so this couple certainly has the expertise to back up their podcasts! Check out their site on iTunes or at www.WeddingPodcastNetwork.com.

The second question came from Brandi. She asked what a wedding planner can do that she couldn't. My answer? She certainly can plan everything on her own, BUT a wedding planner can simplify the whole process. A planner has vetted the multitude of vendors out there, and will recommend the best vendors for suited to specific needs. Also, a planner will be up on the latest trends and be able to offer ideas (at a low cost!) that can enhance her special celebration. Not to mention keeping the dreaded stress at bay!

Until next time, happy planning...
