Wedding photographers - when are you bringing on second shooter?

At what point do you bring on another photographer during wedding gigs?  Is it based on number of people at the wedding or the clients request?

I'll employ an assistant any time I cannot handle the event by myself, the instances for which are numerous.

Thank you, but is there a general point in which during the planning phase for a wedding that you determine you'll need a second shooter? What does that look like?

Depends on clients budget and number of people at the wedding.  If client has budget I'll bring on another photographer to help with things.
