Questions to ask when searching for the right wedding planner.

Ah, the wedding planner. The person responsible for bringing your dream wedding to life, while you sit back and relax, sipping champagne and basking in the glow of love. Sounds pretty sweet, right? But how do you choose the right wedding planner for you? Here are some questions you should be asking when interviewing potential planners:

  1. What inspired you to become a wedding planner?

This question may seem simple, but it can give you insight into the planner’s personality and approach to their work. Do they have a genuine love for weddings, or did they fall into the industry by accident? A passionate and dedicated planner is always a good sign.

  1. How do you handle unexpected situations on the big day?

Weddings are notorious for surprises and mishaps, so it’s important to know how your planner plans to handle them. A seasoned professional will have contingency plans in place and will know how to think on their feet.

  1. What is your philosophy on wedding planning?

Every planner has their own approach to their work. Some may be more hands-on, while others prefer to take a step back and let the couple take the lead. Make sure their philosophy aligns with your own vision for your big day.

  1. What services do you offer?

Not all wedding planners offer the same services. Some may only provide day-of coordination, while others offer full-service planning. Make sure you understand what is included in the planner’s packages and what additional services they offer.

  1. What is your pricing structure?

Wedding planning can be expensive, so it’s important to know what you’re getting for your money. Ask the planner to break down their pricing structure and what is included in each package. Make sure you’re comfortable with the costs before signing on the dotted line.

  1. Can you provide references?

A good wedding planner should have plenty of happy clients willing to vouch for their work. Ask for references and reach out to past clients to get a sense of their experience working with the planner.

  1. How do you communicate with clients?

Communication is key when it comes to wedding planning. Make sure you understand how the planner plans to keep in touch with you throughout the planning process and how often you can expect updates.

Choosing the right wedding planner can make all the difference in creating your dream wedding. With these questions in your arsenal, you’ll be able to find the perfect planner to bring your vision to life. Let’s get to planning!
