HIRING A SEATTLE WEDDING PLANNER
Do you really need a wedding planner or can you plan your wedding on your own? You certainly can plan your wedding on your own but you may regret it.
Here are some things to consider:
A survey conducted by the International Institute of Weddings found that 72% of recently married brides who did not use a wedding coordinator for their wedding said that if they could do it over again they would indeed hire a wedding coordinator to assist with the planning process, or at least to be on hand to supervise the wedding day itself. And 49% reported that if they could only change only one thing about the entire wedding, this would be the thing they would do differently!
If you've decided that hiring a wedding planner is for you then here are some questions to ask them before hiring one:
-
How many weddings has she planned?
-
What is included in her fee?
-
What will she take care of -- finding vendors? Invitations? Favors?
-
Does she understand my vision?
-
Will she navigate vendor contracts with me?
