TOP QUESTIONS TO ASK A WEDDING PLANNER

So, you’re engaged {CONGRATS!}, now what? If you’ve decided you’d like to explore the idea of hiring a Wedding Planner, you have a very important, exciting decision ahead of you! Here are a few tips and some questions to ask a Planner to help make sure you are covering some important topics to ensure you are choosing the right professional for you. Personally, I believe it is EXTREMELY important to look for a Certified Wedding Planner. That would be my very first question before even meeting a Wedding Planner for a face-to-face meeting. Read more about what a Certified Wedding Planner is and why you want one here
Another VERY important detail to consider is whether or not the individual you are considering is insured. A good Planner will likely require that you acquire your own wedding insurance for your complete protection, but down to the fact that some venues won’t work with Planners who aren’t insured is reason enough to steer clear of a “professional” who isn’t. Imagine losing out of your dream location because your Planner, whom you’ve already made a significant deposit to, doesn’t have the credentials to perform a wedding at that location? It’s just not worth the risk. Wedding Planners are there to make the process better, easier and more convenient, not hinder the process. Keep in mind, this is meant to be a guide. If your Planner doesn’t have all the answers right on the spot or needs a few days to put all the requested information together in an email for you, I would suggest giving them the opportunity to do so before writing them off.
Feel free to Pin that and take it with you! You are giving yourself the absolute best gift you can for your wedding by considering working with a Wedding Planner as it is, so make sure you choose someone you are comfortable with. This person will basically be your other half for the next 6, 12, 18+ months, will be there with you every step of the way and will likely turn into a lifelong friend..
