Wedding Planners generally have several levels of service to offer from taking care of everything for you to offering coordination for the day – They will sit down and learn about your vision and than help custom create a service to fit your needs.
What to look for in a wedding planner – Experience -Education – Professional affiliations (several national organizations such as ABC require continuing education letting you know that your planner is serious about staying current with trends and investing in their knowledge) and most important are they understanding what you would like. This becomes a close relationship and you both have to “click”. We are trained to look for our “flavor” of bride – but I believe that the Bride and Groom also need their “flavor ” of Wedding Planner.
