Find the Right Wedding Planner For You
It’s likely that your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life. This is why it's so important to find a wedding planner who can help you plan for this special occasion. But with all the different planners out there, how are you supposed to know which one is right for you?
Read on and learn more about what it takes to find the perfect planner for you.
Local or online?
The first thing you'll need to decide is whether you want to go with a local planner or one that's based online. Local planners often have connections with local businesses and can provide more personalized service. However, online planners can be more affordable and offer a wider range of services.
Get a referral
You might be able to find just the right planner if you get advice from friends or family members who have used planners in the past. Have a friend whose wedding you attended and loved? Ask them for their planner’s details!
Check out online reviews
When you're narrowing down your list of potential planners, be sure to check out online reviews. This will give you a good idea of what to expect from each planner and could help you make your decision.
Consider your budget
Planners can range in price, so it's important to consider how much you're willing to spend on this aspect of your wedding. If you have a smaller budget for your wedding, you might want to consider looking into planners who work on an hourly fee. This will give you more flexibility when it comes to what tasks are completed during the planning process.
Think about your priorities
What is most important to you when it comes to your wedding day? Do you want a planner who can handle every little detail, or would you prefer someone who can just take care of the big picture? Do you want a planner who is creative and has lots of ideas, or one who is on the practical side? These are all things you'll need to keep in mind as you're searching for the right planner.
Find a planner you feel comfortable with
Don't choose a planner based only on if they have all the services you need. Make sure that you get along with them as well, and be sure to set up a consultation before signing anything. You don’t want to add any additional stress to what may already be a stressful time. Make sure you can communicate effectively with each other so things will go as smoothly as possible.
Ask questions before signing any contracts
Last but not least, make sure you ask questions before signing anything with a wedding planner. Make sure to research any planners that interest you and ask about their previous work, how long they have been planning weddings, and get a few references if possible.
By asking these questions ahead of time, you'll be able to find the planner that's perfect for you and your wedding day.
Before hiring a wedding planner, you should ask these questions:
- Can I see examples of your work? (i.e., photos of previous events)
- Are you available for my date(s)?
- What services will you provide specifically for my day?
- Do you offer any additional services (videography, photography, flowers, etc.)?
- Will an assistant be working on-site with me to help plan my event?
- Will you be able to make suggestions to work within the budget?
- Can you provide me with references from previous clients?
- Can we meet in person before making any final decisions?
Remember that your wedding planner should be helping you plan for your perfect day. Choosing the right one can make all the difference!
