A wedding planner thinks about all the hassles and takes care of all the details of your special day, freeing you to calmly enjoy the celebration. But with so many people purporting to be experts at creating your event, how do you pick the one that's right for you? Start by asking the following three questions.
- How do you charge? Some wedding planners charge by the hour, which is ideal if you only need to consult one for specific details. Many also charge per event, typically basing their fee on a percentage of the total event cost. If yours does the latter, ask her if that fee is fixed once the contract is signed or does it go up every time you add an additional expense, such as more food for more guests. Are any of the fees refundable and under what circumstances.
- What is your experience? Find out if she's worked with the type, size, and cost of wedding you plan to have. If not, ask her what kinds of celebrations she usually handles. If you're set on using a particular venue, caterer, or decorater, ask your planner what experience she has with your choices. Finally, find out if this is her full-time job. If she works at weddings only part-time, what is her other position?
- What is your availability? Some planners may only allow a certain number of consultations that may not even include site visits. Others include unlimited consultations in their price, up to visiting every venue with you. Find out too what they do on the wedding day. Will she be the only one at the ceremony and reception, will she be bringing extra staff, or will subordinates be handling the on-site work?
Even if the first planner you call has all the right answers to these questions, don't hire her just yet. Talk to at least two other wedding planner, so you get some idea of the range of services and costs available.
