Wedding Planner

What is a Wedding Planner?

  • Wedding Planner as a professional who assists with the design, planning, and management of a client's wedding.

  • Planners are often people who find their way into special aspects of special events. Event planners acquire experience planning events for other companies before starting their own business.

  • Regardless of specialization, you're assured to work at least a few events coordinating and monitoring. But, these events are planned during business hours.

First, think about the different elements of a wedding that the planner needs to arrange:

  • Venues

  • Themes

  • Flowers

  • Food and

  • Refreshments, 

  • Clothing, 

  • Photography, 

  • Honeymoons, and other aspects of the wedding.

Most people have experience in aspects of these facets of a wedding. Most wedding planners have turned specialists as a

  • Florist

  • Caterer

  • Photographer

  • Travel Agent

What are your key steps as a Wedding Planner?

  • Find several providers for the different items that you don't provide yourself. They will know who can offer you the best service at the best price.

  • Once you have selected the right providers, you continue to communicate with them. You share the wedding details.

  • You ensure that the sellers provide the right services at the right time.

  • In some way, the budget will affect every wedding decision. The wedding planner should start a discussion about the budget for the wedding. Some customers take care of the budget themselves, others want or need your support.

  • You need to be sure that everyone agrees on the budget for the wedding.

  • Once the ceremony begins, the wedding planner should be ready to queue the music.

  • After the ceremony, the wedding planner escorts the guests to the reception location.

  • Ensure that the wedding reception is in the appropriate location.

  • Ensure venues adhere to the schedule. Delays of more than 15 minutes can result in annoying venue managers. You may also be charged late fees associated with the venue.

  • Record the ceremony and confirm that you have all official wedding documents.

  • Book portable toilets for outdoor events, more chairs if necessary, lighting components, etc.

  • Choose someone to

    • Get your dress moving

    • Carry your things

    • Give gifts (especially the wrapped variety)

    • Give tips

    • Be the main person for every seller.

    • Get a list of the moments your client wants to be captured on film.

    • Tip the envelopes at the event.

    • Handle logistical matters for the venue.

    • Your concern is the venue as it should be, as it pays the paycheck.
