6 Signs You've Found The Perfect Wedding Planner

                               

With your wedding day fast approaching, you might need someone to give you some guidance in creating the perfect vision of what you dreamed your perfect day would be. A bride should not be pressured with every aspect and crucial element that goes into planning such a big event. You might want to consider hiring a wedding planner to help you fine tune the details. If you do decide to go that direction, here are six vital qualities to look for in your wedding planner:

1. They make you feel like the 'only one'.

With times being so fast paced, people are always in a hurry to get things done. When working with a planner, chances are you aren’t the only client and they have a million different things on their plate. However, if they make you feel like your wedding is top priority, have meetings that are in full detail of what you will need to accomplish before your big day, and speaks to you with the utmost interest and excitement for what’s to come, the chances are, this is the wedding planner for you .

                                                        

2. Options, options, options.

We all know time is certainly not our friend during this process. There are things to do, vendors to choose and venues to book. If this particular planner is able to help you find multiple top notch vendors working within your budget and has a good working relationship with them, marry them too!

3. Your budget is their friend

The wedding industry is known to drill holes in the pockets of all its blind-sided victims with hidden costs lurking around every corner. If this wedding planner makes sticking to the budget an essential to planning your wedding, refraining from random additions to service fees or suggesting a budget increase then look no further.

                                                                                  

4. A professional planner

Truth be told, there is a myriad of wedding planners out there with varying ranks in the business. It is crucial to judge a wedding planner, not by the time they’ve put in but by the quality of the events they’ve produced so far and the level of professionalism they bring to the table. Choose a planner who takes you and your wedding seriously and handles your big day like a pro, all while making you feel like you two have some sort of friendship. Ensure to choose a planner who is respectful and has a basic understanding of who you are and the boundaries not to cross.

                                   

5. Bailing or smooth sailing

Unfortunately, there are a lot of ingenuine proprietors trying to make a quick buck from unsuspecting clients. As soon as a deposit is made, the promises made are ‘null and void’. Choose a wedding planner who understands their obligation to providing what you paid for while still being willing to add a little pizzazz where needs be. A contract should also be compulsory in order to safeguard the proceedings of your big day. A planner with a plan, is a very good one indeed.  

       

                                              

6.  A man or woman of high regard

If word on the street says this person is the best, there is then there’s no need to hesitate. Be sure to ask past clients and vendors if possible about this planner’s work, event planning skills, craft and how well they are able to give her clients the imagery of what was requested. Check social media pages, tags and testimonials as well and if everything checks out then seal the deal, cut a check and sign the dotted line.
