Here are some reasons to get the support of professionals:
NUMBERS
The wedding organizer will take over the budget allocation so that you can get the most out of it. Good knowledge of the local service market allows the organizer to save your money and distribute it in the right ratio so that neither side is limping in favor of the other.
When organizing a wedding yourself, you can't imagine how much everything will eventually result. In the case of the organizer, you will immediately voice your budget, and professionals will already offer options that fit into it.
In addition, contractors always provide good discounts to the organizers with whom they work. Wedding professionals and people from the industry are connected by constant business relationships, while a couple is a client at a time. Therefore, contractors are trying to please the wedding organizers, since for them they are a constant source of income.
CHOICE OF SPECIALISTS
In search of local photographers, makeup artists, florists and pastry chefs. And all this happens on Skype and on Skype, trying to convey their ideas and approving options. None of you will be disappointed, and will not be lost at the last moment. The mentality of the South European countries, in particular Portugal, the correspondence and discussion of issues at a slower pace at which we are accustomed, and often email requests must be accompanied by a phone call. be pretty problematic.
Therefore, you were immediately offered to choose from a small list of real professionals. After the approval of the contractor, the organizer concludes a contract, conducts a national or mediation meeting, is responsible for approving all the details and does not require mandatory monitoring of the fulfillment of all obligations, achieving 100% of the result. The organizer selects only pleasant people in the team.

You and your guests should not think or even know about such things. You should remember your holiday as the best day of your life, and not how you ran in a panic, agreeing on technical issues with a DJ or waiters.

Coordinators will monitor the work of animators and nannies for the smallest, so that your guests do not spoil their heels by stepping on a lawn, hand out umbrellas, water and parcels with rose petals for the ceremony, answer all questions.

AND LAST:
The services of a full-time wedding planner, which are directly offered by many wedding venues, including in Portugal, are not a wedding organizer.
In any case, not full. This person is an intermediary between the couple and the site, and he will defend the interests of the site in the first place. Its tasks are to monitor the work of the site staff, and so that the place is not damaged, so you should not expect that he will take care of all your wedding needs. And although some regular site organizers are ready to work on additional services for the couple, many will not do things such as check lists and timings or consult with suppliers on any issue other than arrival time. They will be present on your wedding day, but they will not be there when you urgently need to fix the torn dress, hold your bouquet so that you can hug your mother, they will not tell you when to cut the cake and make sure that all your wedding gifts are delivered in the room. In fact, many of them go home after the cake is cut.
While for your wedding venue and its employees, your wedding is only one of the many streams of almost daily activities, the wedding organizer focuses only on your special day and will do everything possible and impossible so that everything goes perfectly and only according to your unique plan.
Your wedding day happens once, and never be repeated. So why not invest in someone who will free you from any responsibility but to be happy every second of this day? If the wedding organizer has done his job, couples should be able to describe in detail the exciting moment when they first saw each other, what it feels like to squeeze each other's hands during the ceremony, the taste of cocktails and the tiredness of dancing with friends and relatives, because they transferred all the worries to their wedding organizer and just lived that day at 100!
