For some couples, the idea of using a wedding package instead of personally planning everything is a godsend. For others, though, it sounds like an unwanted compromise. If you worry that choosing a package deal for your wedding will take too much control away from you and your fiancé, here are a few reasons why you may want to think again. 

1. You Can Skip Some Elements

Just because you purchase an all-inclusive wedding package doesn't mean you are obligated to use everything. Some details, like dresses, remain outside the package's purview. And you can decline specific elements — like the officiant, certain flowers, or ceremony decor — and bring your own if you'd rather. 

2. It Narrows Down Choices

Today's wedding industry and technological advances provide many more options than prior generations had. Trying to weed through all the choices from an endless array of ideas, products, and execution can be a full-time job. The package is designed to help you skip this step by narrowing down the selection to a few great options already vetted by pros. 

3. Others Do the Leg Work

While you may give up some freedom of choice with a package arrangement, you also get rid of a lot of the leg work. This includes things like renting items from various vendors, vetting suppliers, arranging for parking, selecting flowers from growers, cooking, and administrative errands. Most people would rather outsource these so the couple can focus on the fun stuff. 

4. You Won't Forget Things

A regular person can't remember absolutely everything during wedding planning. There are a million little details that the inexperienced planner or those arranging a large wedding will simply overlook or underestimate the value of. You won't forget to get a cake cutter, underestimate how many cups you need, miss a box of candles at home, or assume that you can set up that popcorn machine without help. Let others remember these things for you. 

5. The Bugs Have Been Worked Out

Unless your day job is as a professional event planner, you're likely to run into a number of technical glitches, setup confusion, unanswered questions, and other planning problems. But the team that handles your wedding package is very familiar with all its various details. This means a faster, more thorough, and more attractive setup and party. 

Where to Start

Clearly, there are many advantages to opting for the ease and professional help of a wedding package. Start learning more about the options in your area today. You may just find that rather than a compromise, this is the one move that makes your wedding day the best it can be.
