Wedding planners helps couples organize and coordinate the events of their wedding day.
Wedding planners work closely with the bride and groom, as well as their families. They talk to the bride and groom to learn about the couple's personal tastes and their vision for the wedding.
Planners network with many people during the wedding planning process, including:
- Dress designers
- Photographers
- Florists
- Wedding cake bakeries
- Caterers
- DJs
Planners help the bride and groom set a budget and locate services that meet their budget. They review contract offers from vendors and explain the contracts to the couple.
Wedding planners are usually involved in more than one wedding at a time. Throughout the planning process, they stay in touch with engaged couples and vendors. They document revisions to wedding plans to make sure all parties know of any changes. On the wedding day, planners are present to oversee the delivery of the services.
Wedding planners spend time promoting their business. They work to recruit new clients using social media, websites, and business cards.
Wedding planners are also known as wedding consultants or wedding coordinators.
