## Resource

1031. Are you curious about hiring a wedding or event planner? Amanda Savory from Amanda Savory Events (ASE), a premier agency in New York City, joins Laura to discuss tips for working with a planner, ways to cut costs, and how to have an unforgettable wedding day.   Find Amanda Savory on Instagram @amandasavoryevents. Key Takeaways A wedding planner should help you clarify your top priority, such as food, music, or location, and create a realistic budget to achieve it. Taxes and gratuities are a couple of expenses that are easy to forget, but that an event planner should automatically incorporate into a budget. A destination wedding could save money, but the number of attendees is likely the primary factor that affects the cost. Modern weddings can mean splitting the cost between the couple and their families in any way that makes them comfortable.  Working with a wedding planner is an investment; however, their experience can save time, prevent mistakes, and help you spend your budget efficiently.
