This will be a very important decision that will affect the whole period before the wedding. Because a well-chosen planner who is in your wavelength, who understands your ideas and is able to realize, takes a lot of the burden off your shoulders. In case of an unfortunate choice, the wedding planner can make the wedding much harder and more stressful, making difficult decisions even together at a key moment of your life.
My tips are the following:
- The role of a wedding planner is a role of trust. It will help you in the preparations for the most important event of your life. With his/her professional competence, it is at least as important to have a compatible personality. If you feel you are not on the same wavelength, you think its too much or too retracting, then you should continue to search for another one.
- A prepared wedding planner should know the answer to everything. The first personal meeting is not just about getting to know your ideas, but also about answering the questions you have asked. You must have a couple of questions so far that you would want to ask. Whether it is about the traditions, seating arrangements, wedding protocols, you are rightly expecting her to be able to answer them. If you feel uncertain, or if you feel that she is not spending enough time answering your questions, then you should move on.
- At the first consultation you should feel already that you are an important customer. For a wedding planner every wedding should as important, from the small family event, trough to an exclusive event for hundreds of people. Both weddings are the couples most important day of their life. If you don't feel that the wedding planner is spending enough time on your ideas the end result than you should move on.
- A good wedding planner should manage a complete team on your wedding day, representing your interests even with his/ her own service provider. It is important that you feel after your first meeting that he/she is suitable for this position.
