10 ways a consultant can help

1. Listening to your ideas, then suggesting what works for your style and budget.

2. Helping out with just one or two specific tasks, if that's all you need - such as scouting reception sites, tracking invitations or finding a minister.

3. Recommending vendors (florists, bakers) who will serve your needs best.

4. Acting as the contact person between you and all vendors, from the contract signing to the I do's.

5. Getting great deals from vendors whom she regularly works. Her relationships may mean price breaks.

6. Overseeing your wedding day. She'll manage the timeline, make sure every detail is in place (the tent is up, the favors are distributed), and handle emergencies so you can relax.

7. Carrying an emergency kit with safety pins, asprin and winter.

8. Mediating if things get tense between you and your mom or you and vendor.

9. Helping you get your legal documents (birth certificates, marriage license) in order.

10. Arranging a ride to take you to your wedding-night hotel or to the airport.
