Planning a wedding in San Diego from the east coast. Do I need a planner? I grew up on the west coast and recently moved to the east coast. We are planning to have our wedding in San Diego. I used to plan 300-400 person catered parties for work so I am a pretty good planner but am pretty busy with work and have no family members I trust to help plan the wedding back in San Diego. I'm hoping to keep my wedding budget within 35K w/ no more than 100 guests invited.
I am JUST starting the planning phase (mostly just research still) but the thought of planning a wedding remote gives me anxiety. Is using a full wedding planner a good choice in a case like this? Also if anyone has wedding planners they recommend in San Diego and San Marcos it would be greatly appreciated!

I planned a Midwest wedding from the West Coast! I went to the venue once before booking it when I was there for the holidays and then I didn’t see it again until the wedding week! I didn’t get to do a hair/makeup trail beforehand or a tasting. I had to find vendors I trusted a lot, but in the end it worked out! So it is possible! I’m always team planner though so if it’s in your budget it’ll definitely help out and relieve some stress! I’ve worked with Abby before and she is AMAZING: http://abbyleeevents.co/
