Well, with about a month and a half to go before our wedding is here (YIKES!)....I would say that I could definitely have planned everything myself, in fact I feel like I did a lot of that. However, I'm sure I will be very grateful for having my WC on the actual wedding day. So, if I could turn back the hands of time, I would choose to just hire a "day of WC" for set-ups, clean-up, managing vendors, etc.. and I'd do all the planning on my own.
