7 reasons why wedding planners are high on demand these days
In today's modern times, city and non-city folks can hardly find time for proper, thorough planning on just about anything. More and more niche consultation agencies are growing to fill in the market gap and people are just too spoilt for choices. Someone's business for someone else's convenience, I think. It sounds like the right thing to do - to hire a P.A (personal assistant) to answer your Blackberry or thinking of getting a nanny for your first child. Falling in between these two categories could be you - the busy professional and a bride-to-be.
With a job and life to juggle, and a wedding in between, how can you manage? Who do you go to? If you'd like to plan your wedding on your own, it's not always a good idea. Time may not be at your disposal. Furthermore, you don't want to ruin a special day like this. Of course, you want it to be perfect. If hiring a wedding planner crossed your mind, you might consider drawing up a wedding budget and let the professional do the rest for you.
A WEDDING PLANNER...
(1)...plans the itinerary while the bridesmaids prepare the props. You just told your girl friends the good news and they excitedly form an exclusive Jane's bridesmaid team. The difference between the wedding planner and the bridesmaids lies in the set of duties. The former gets a head start in mapping out the plan necessary for the two of you (bride and groom) to follow, builds connections with suitable vendors for your wedding. The latter, on the other hand, build a workforce to help out with the wedding day preparation, usher guests and join in fun.
(2)...is your extra eye. Most of the time, your wedding planner will sieve through the information and propose the ultimate options available to you. No, they don't make decisions on your behalf. However, there have been cases where the wedding planner will have to make convincing statements that this or her decision is essential to your wedding.
(3)...makes friends with you. Most wedding planners end up becoming friends with their clients most probably because of their closeness and openness to the important, intimate subject called marriage. They not only plan your wedding day; they celebrate your marriage like no other and create the kind of excitement that surrounds it. They make you and your family feel excited about the new life that you'll be experiencing in the months to come - as a wife, daughter-in-law and possible new mother.
(4)...is your 'live' directory. You can have dozens of bridal magazines and guides on the latest and trendiest wedding. With a fraction of a cost, you can get special privilege from the wedding planner. The privilege encompasses all aspects of a wedding - from one-on-one consultation, budget management, promotions to personal grooming. Likewise, your wedding planner is the door to a list of vendors including catering companies, bridal houses, cake houses, fashion designers, music bands, DJs, photographers. makeup artists, hotels, venues and many more - and everything you could ask for!
(5)...handles crisis competently. Naturally, wedding planners have the capability to ensure that situations are under control at all times. You can count on the wedding planner for matters conderning the wedding. There are times when family members want to do things their way, such as writing the guests list or setting up the bridal bed. Wedding plannets carry with them big responsibilities on their shoulders. They execute the wedding theme, delegate task to vendors and make sure that everyone involved meet the datelines. The wedding planner would normally gather the couple for a few rounds of discussion on task management - who's doing what and when - to avoid last minute work.
(6)...lets you have your say. Whether a simple or lavish wedding, the charges for wedding planning services differ depending on the time length for preparation, hours of consultation and the client's budget. Your wedding needn't have to cost you your house or car. All it takes for a decent, beautiful wedding is your marriage license and a "cocktail style" civil ceremony. Your wedding planner will contact you on a weekly basis, sometimes twice a week or more frequent depending on the urgency of the matter. Involve your groom-to-be for small chats with the wedding planner. Don't be afraid to say 'no' to your wedding planner if you find his or her idea unsuitable or too fancy to your taste. Remember that communication is vital to any relationship.
(7)...should suit your pace and personal style. Conduct interviews with several wedding planners before you zero in on one. Before a wedding planner can understand your needs, you must first understand him or her in terms of professionalism, experience and communication skills. although a good impression may influence your decision, pay high attention to the wedding planner's eye contact and body gestures. The flow of conversation between you and the wedding planner can also give some information whether this is the right person for the job.
