wedding planners?

to wedding planning or no wedding planner, that is the question...

i've been thinking a lot of the to-be-wedding today and am feeling a little anxious over all the little details! photographers, cakes, flowers, centre pieces, music, budget, colour schemes, invitations, wedding bands, honeymoon, food, ceremony, guest transportation (to and from shek o), seating arrangements, and it goes on and on and on.

here are some wedding planners that i've googled:

marriage maestros- they describe themselves as 'a luxury wedding planning company' which will probably be waaayyyy beyond our budget. some stunning photos in their gallery though!

pink wedding- unsure of their professionalism, as they have plenty of grammatical errors on their website and their '8 questions to figure out if you need a wedding planner' part seems a little pushy.

bliss creations- they specialise in destination weddings. their website says that hong kong is on their destination list, but i wonder if it would be better for someone who lives in hk to find a company that does more work in hk.

mister and missus- a company that seems professional yet down to earth. in fact, so down to earth that they donate 2% of their fees to unicef hk. brownie points there!

should i just hire a wedding planner who would take care of 50% of the above? or because it is a once in a lifetime thing, i should just embrace the craziness and do it myself. hkgroom has expressed that he will take the backseat (except for food, honeymoon, wedding bands, and the cake) as long as i'm not 'silly' with the expenses. bagh- i'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing! of course i'd like hkgroom to enjoy wedding planning as it is important to me that the day is special to him too. i guess he's just a typical male and it really isn't 'his thing'.
