The Finishing Touch Wedding and Event Planning shares tips on how to find the perfect person to plan your very special day. "Hiring the right wedding planner will ultimately save you lots of headaches and money in the long run," says Candice Benson, president and founder of The Finishing Touch. "It is definitely worth your time to find someone who you will trust and enjoy working with during the planning process."
Here are some tips to help you select your planner:
What are the benefits of having a planner?
A wedding planner will pay attention to all of your details while helping you consider things you may not have thought of on your own. Most importantly, your planner will ensure that your wedding day runs smoothly.
How can I find one?
You should look for an experienced planner with the proper education and credentials, such as someone who is a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants.
Will my planner help me figure out my style?
The planner should sit down with the clients and decide if their style will be more classic and chic or modern and edgy. Looking at images in magazines and asking your planner for an inspiration board based on your likes and dislikes will help you in determining the overall feel for your day.
Can a planner assist with my budget?
Yes. A skilled planner will explain the different areas of your wedding that you will need to focus on, and she can help you prioritize your list. She will also have established relationships with vendors who will reduce costs in certain areas to save you money. In addition, she will help you cut back on your guest list so you will have some extra money to add special details throughout your affair.
How soon should I find my planner?
After you bask in the glory of your new status and show your new bling off to all of your family and friends, start your search.
