What are the duties of a Wedding Planner?

The principle duty of a Wedding Planner is to guide the wedding couple through the makings of the wedding up until, and possibly after their big day. This includes numerous responsibilities which should start with a consultation in which the couple can discuss their wants and needs for the wedding. This may range from the wedding theme and location to the evening wear and honey moon.

Wedding Planners are usually incredibly organised and have many contacts in the wedding industry. The whole point is that the bride and groom to be can describe their wedding vision and the planner makes it possible. This enables the wedding to go ahead with a lot less stress than usual however there will be a fee.

Usually fees include an hourly rate during the run up to the wedding and then an additional lump sum which ensures smooth running of the wedding throughout the day of the ceremony. There is no specific fee for a wedding as everyone is completely different; therefore it’s crucial that you have your consultation as early as possible so that everyone has a clearer image of how the wedding will turn out.

Wedding Planners can often be used to plan just a few aspects of the wedding, this can help with costs however, you must make sure you are very clear about what you want, everyone’s imagination varies so try to paint the picture precisely.
