Wedding Planners Guide The Couple
By Natalie Glass
The wonderful event of a wedding is an occasion that
embodies many of the most positive and life affirming
aspects of human relationships. They are an opportunity
to highlight the love that draws people together and
that makes dreams come true.
But, with all the wonders of weddings comes a great
deal of stress over the orchestrating of the many details
to put together a grand celebration. For this reason,
more and more couples are turning to wedding planners
to help them with the arrangements and to help alleviate
the stress on the couple.
A wedding planner can step in and take care of the
thousands of "moving parts" that need to be
taken care and review your options for your wedding
can come off without a snag. With a professional wedding
planning on board for the event, the happy couple can
focus on the big decisions and other plans and preparations,
such as the honeymoon or their living arrangements.
Meeting With The Wedding Planner
In most cases, wedding planners will sit down in a
meeting with the couple in order to get a picture of
the couple’s preferences and tastes. In the first meeting
the wedding planner will try to grasp a sense of what
the most important elements and priorities are for the
couple and their special day.
With the big picture view, a wedding planner is then
able to use their resources and connections to start
lining up the various choices for each area that needs
to be arranged.
Gathering Of Information
They can gather information on everything, from the
invitations, the choices of wedding ceremony sites,
transportation, the food and drink options, the choices
in wedding cakes, the wedding gown that the bride will
wear, gown accessories, rehearsal parties weddings usually
include, wedding photographers and wedding videographers,
to the decorations for the church and banquet hall,
including flowers and wedding candles.
They may even take care of the wedding gown preservation
details. They can sort through options according to
the overall desires and preferences of the couple.
Making Decisions To Move The Process
Once the wedding planner has a number of choices lined
up and ready to present, they will meet again with the
bride and groom so that they can make some additional
decisions that will move the whole process along. Then
the planner can take action on those decisions, taking
charge of all the minute details and leaving the couple
to focus on their daily work and lives.
One of the major benefits that couples enjoy while
working with a wedding planner is simply having someone
to look to who knows exactly what needs to be done and
the sequence of events that must be scheduled. Since
most couples are not experts at planning weddings, it
can become overwhelming very quickly, both with the
details that they know they must take care of, as well
as the many things that don’t even occur to a
couple.
A Wedding Planner Can Give Experienced Guidance
Because a wedding planner has so much experience and
has planned many such events in the past, they know
all aspects of what needs to be taken care of and can
anticipate problems and help the couple avoid pitfalls
as well. Simply having such experienced guidance throughout
the process can be an enormous help and can reduce the
stress of the occasion a great deal.
A wedding planner can also be helpful in finding the
best prices and can often save the couple much more
than what they will pay a planner in fees. This is because
the wedding planner has established relationships and
can often negotiate better prices because they know
exactly where to shop for the best deals. It is like
having an insider on your team.
Another one of the advantages of using wedding planners
is that they can offer a fresh, "third-party"
view on various decisions that need to be made. Frequently,
couples will disagree over some detail of the wedding
planning and simply can’t find a compromise. In many
cases the wedding planner can give some objective input
and help settle the dispute.

After I have chosen a photographer, what other questions should I ask him or her?
Once you have made a commitment to a photographer of your liking,
there are still more questions you need to ask. With larger studios especially,
you should ask whether you will be working directly with the photographer you
first talked to. Ask to meet with the person who will actually be taking photos
of your wedding.
You may also want to ask how long your photographer
has been in business, or how many weddings of your size
they have worked with in the past, and if they have
liability insurance. You might like to ask him or her
how long it will take to get the proofs back to you
or their rate for printing extra photos and albums.
You should definitely inquire about their back up plan
and arrangements for any unforeseen changes.
