Let Your Planner Take The Strain
Weddings are stressful at the best of times and when you’re the one doing most of the planning there always seems like a never-ending list of tasks that fall to you to take care of.
That’s why you might want to consider the services of a wedding planner to take the stress off of your shoulders and make sure everyone and everything is where they should be at the right time.
So, how will you find the planner of your dreams? That perfect combination of calmness and organization, who keeps things on track but does so in a way that puts everyone at ease. It’s not easy and that’s why you need to start the interview process way before the big day before you even have a venue booked or a caterer cooking.
In this short guide we help you find your perfect (other) person:
Interview in person
Online is where you’ll find their bio and where you’ll figure out if you like their style but in person is where you’ll find out if you click. Do they listen to your ideas and respect your wishes or ride roughshod over your opinions and insist on doing things their way?
If you can find great channels of communication straight away with your potential planner, then you’re off to a great start. The next thing you’ll need to tackle with them is budget. Are they on board with your figures? You’ll want to know what they can deliver, realistically, for your money. Beware of planners that promise the earth, chances are they’re desperate to sign you up but may not be able to deliver the goods.
Your planner should be able to show you examples of what you might be able to afford and encourage you to find shortcuts and savings costs along the way.
Connections
It will help if your planner is from the region you live in. A well-established one should have great contacts with caterers, marquee suppliers and so on and know how to leverage a discount.
They might also have contacts with venues and photographers, all of which will take the responsibility off of you to find.
All that you really want to worry about is buying your dress and figuring out who to invite. Then the build-up to your wedding will just be about the excitement leading up to the big day. With so many reasons to celebrate your forthcoming nuptials you might want Corset HQ on standby, but everything else you should be able to leave up to your planner.
This once in a lifetime moment deserves the best food, the best catering and the best photography but ultimately as long as you have the person you love by your side and the support of your friends and family around you, it will be a day to remember. Let your planner take the strain and surround yourself with memories that are going to last a lifetime as you embark on married life together.
