WEDDING PLANNERS

With regards cost, it is difficult to say what you may expect to pay. Many companies offer an initial free consultation and then produce a bespoke package tailored to your exact needs – only at this stage will they reveal the true cost! As we mentioned, there are a number out there and you are not obliged to proceed with any quote you are given. As long as you are happy to do so, we suggest that you get a couple of quotes before making any decision. Other planners will provide a number of package options, with prices usually ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand, depending upon the involvement you want them to have.

Wedding planners are located around the country and tend to operate regionally, although a number of them are willing to travel wherever and whenever you need them to, but obviously the travel will come at a premium. Certain wedding planners provide a service right up until the day you get married, whereas others will offer to attend on the day itself to ensure that everything runs smoothly. You should think about exactly what you want from a wedding planner, how accessible you want them to be, and how much money you can afford to spend on them before going ahead and booking.

Whilst some love the thought of rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck into planning a wedding, for others, especially in today’s hectic life where free time is at a premium, the last thing you need is a major project on your hands. Wedding planners are set to grow in popularity over the forthcoming years (in fact we have heard on the grapevine that one in five couples now use the services of a wedding planner to some extent) and admitting that you need one is a sign of strength not weakness. If we have convinced you that this is the way forward, take your time and get one who won’t break the bank. However, of equal importance is hiring one who you feel comfortable enough to speak to about any element of the day, and one who you feel confident in to provide you with everything you need.
