How a wedding planner can help you - part 2

Welcome to the series of posts explaining how a wedding planner can help you organise your special day!

Today I'll be talking about the first and simplest way in which a wedding planner can help: consultation.

You can use a consultation for at least two reasons:
  • ask for information about specific tasks on organising your wedding
  • help you decide which wedding planner to choose, if you think you need one's help
However, no matter the scope of the consultation, there should always be a period at the beginning of the meeting when the planner asks you about your wedding plans, vision and preferences. A good wedding planner will not start giving advice without knowing what you're looking for.

Most wedding planners offer free consultations. Others may give a free consultation if you want to hire them for full co-ordination, but charge for giving specific advice on a certain topic.

I know what you may be thinking: but there are so many directories and free advice on planning ... why should I pay someone to tell me what I can read for free????
Well, it is true that you can find a lot for free, but it is also true that these are general pieces of advice. Asking a planner gives you access to a piece of information that is tailored to your needs. And sometimes, all you need is an objective from-the-outside opinion to motivate you and sparkle that briliant idea on how to ...

I strongly believe that a good piece of advice never does harm, so don't be afraid to ask for one :)
