Each and every year around 2.5 million weddings take place nationwide. This means that the number of weddings that will take place in your immediate area is astounding. Your wedding plans are going to be affected by number of factors, because many more weddings will happen at or around the same time as your wedding.
If you want even the tiniest little detail to be taken care of at your wedding, it would be recommended that you hire a wedding planner. This can save you a lot of time and money. The wedding planner will help you coordinate your wedding and the most important of all he or she will save you from frustration.
So, what is a wedding planner anyway, and what does he or she do?
A wedding planner (sometimes called a wedding consultant, wedding coordinator or a wedding producer) is hired to help the bride and groom coordinate a wide variety of tasks associated with their wedding. Planning your wedding can get vary frustrating at times that will make you forget about the fun that you need to have. So, it is a good idea to spend a little bit more on a wedding planner to make sure your wedding day goes smooth.
A wedding planner can help plan many aspects, including DJs, floral arrangements, cake, seating arrangements, invitations, photography, and so on. In some cases, he or she might be able to use his or her industry connections with vendors to get you a good deal on many things.
The wedding planner will conduct an interview with the bride-to-be and the groom, and then coordinate the details that have been agreed upon. A good wedding planner should be able to assist in organizing, budgeting and purchasing services. Also, after the interview, he or she will put a contract together that you and him or her need to sign. Without a contract there's a lot of room for misunderstanding and confusion of what was agreed upon.
In the contract, or often referred to as a letter of agreement, the wedding planner will include the services expected to be performed, the cost of these services and the payment terms.
When you receive the contract, if there's anything you do not agree with or anything not to your desire, discuss it before signing it. When you sign the contract, you and your soon to-be wedding planner have to agree on all of the items listed to avoid any possible misunderstanding. But remember: even though you have been through the interview process, you are not obligated to continue with that particular wedding planner until you sign the contract.
So, how can you find a good wedding planner?
Nowadays, it's probably the easiest to search the Internet. But, it's best if you know anyone who had had a wedding planner for their wedding. Referrals are always the best.
Even if you have to seek help from the Internet or the yellow pages, be sure to ask for his or her credentials. Ask for references from each of your potential wedding planners and research their past work. Also, ask to see a few other weddings your potential wedding planner has prepared. This will help you make a decision very easily.
Some of the advantages of hiring a wedding planner are saving you from frustration; money savings, since most wedding planners have connections in the industry; solving your wedding problems; low stress, and such.
But, there could also be some disadvantages, such as: overconfident (ego) wedding planner may try to convince you into having a wedding of his or her dreams and not your dreams. If you're a person who likes to be known or to show off, hiring a wedding planner may not be a good idea as they will be in charge of your wedding. Another disadvantage would be that you may hire a scam artist who may not have done any weddings while broadcasting his or her enormous experience. That's why it is vital to do a thorough research.
So, how much does a wedding planner cost?
Eexpect their fee to be anywhere between 5% and up to 20% of your total wedding budget.
