What Are The Things That You Need To Keep in Mind While Hiring a Wedding Planner?

Nowadays more and more people are opting for wedding planners rather than planning for their weddings themselves.



The wedding day is one of the most important days in one’s life and everyone wants it to be arranged in the best way possible. But the current hectic lifestyle doesn’t leave any time for that. So they take the help of someone who is an expert in this field.


There are a few things that you need to do before you consult a wedding planner. They are as follows:

  • Plan out a budget and stick to it as much as possible

  • Check pictures of weddings arranged by the wedding planner on social media

  • The bride and groom’s ideas and thoughts regarding their wedding arrangements need to be taken into consideration

  • Enquire your guests whether anyone is allergic to any food item or not


Check Dates -


The first thing that you need to confirm with a wedding planner is whether they are free on the days that you will be needing them. During a busy wedding season, at times wedding planners work on multiple weddings. So you need to make sure that the wedding planner that you are hiring is absolutely free on the days that you will be requiring them.



How expensive are they?


While searching for wedding planners, see if they have mentioned how much they charge for the whole wedding or per event. If they have not mentioned the prices on their social media or website, call them to ask for information. Plan everything within the budget, and try not to overspend if possible.


Check for credibility -


Look for pictures of previous weddings and events that they have arranged and see whether you like the arrangement or not. If it is a yes from your side, then go ahead and speak to them about the other details regarding the planning of the wedding. Also check if they have posted any testimonials on their socials.


Food


Inform the wedding planner if anyone on your guest list is allergic to any food ingredient. Ask them whether they will be able to arrange it or not. If the answer is no, then you need to look for someone who will agree to your food requests.


Vendor


A lot of wedding planners have certain fixed vendors with whom they work and they do not work with any other vendors. You cannot include any vendor of your choice even if you want to.



The comfort level between you and the wedding planner


After speaking with the wedding planner if you feel comfortable with the fact that this person will be planning and organising the wedding, then go ahead. There needs to be a certain level of understanding between you two, without which the execution may get problematic.


If you keep all these things in your mind while choosing a wedding planner, you can ensure that dream wedding will become a reality without any hassle.
