How to Determine if You Need a Wedding Consultant
Written by Carolyn Hall of Best Bet Wedding Consulting Do You Need A Wedding Planner?
Take this simple quiz to determine if you should consider
hiring a wedding consultant:
1. Do you have unlimited time to work on the wedding of your dreams?
2. Do you have personal knowledge of the reputations of the service providers you are
choosing?
3. Do you know what to look for in a contract between yourself and a service provider?
4. Do you know the resources available to you to help you with your plans?
5. Do you know what to do if you ordered the wedding dress or maids dresses and there is a
problem?
6. Do you know all the proper etiquette involved in a wedding?
7. Do you know how to plan a wedding budget?
If you answered "no" to at least 4 of these questions you could probably make
your life easier by hiring a wedding consultant. The terms 'planner', 'consultant' and
'coordinator' mean pretty nearly the same thing. When you look in your local yellow pages
to find someone you can expect to find any of those terms. When you locate someone and you
call to interview her/him ask the following questions:
Do you have a business license?
Do you have references?
How many weddings have you handled?
What formal training do you have?
Do you receive a fee from the service providers you refer?
The answer to the last question should be "NO". A person should not be receiving
pay from 2 sources. If a dispute arises, whom will the consultant favor?
Services are best paid for by the hour. Costs can get high if you are paying a percentage
of the total or according to how many guests there are.
And lastly, you and the consultant should have a good relationship. If the personalities
don't work well together, it will only cause you more stress. Make sure the contract has
an escape clause in case problems arise.
