While not every bride uses one to plan her wedding, there are several reasons to hire someone.
"The main reason to hire a consultant is to save you time and a lot of stress"
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work involved in planning your wedding, consider a consultant - having someone to help you with all the details may be well worth the expense. If you think you would benefit from some extra help, a wedding consultant may be your best option. Having someone to help you help you plan a day to remember may be just what you need to make the perfect day ♥
If you're getting married out of town or you have to make most of the plans on your own, a wedding planner planner can be invaluable. And brides who work long hours or are juggling multiple responsiblities often hire consultants to help them with all of the legwork that a wedding entails.
WHAT THEY DO:
So what does a bridal consultant actually do? Just about everything.
As bridal consultant is an advisor, a coordinator, a supervisor, a financial planner, a food and beverage manager, and a purchasng agent. They may also create a budget and keep track of how much money is spent as well as help the bride and groom manage thier time.
Some brides hire a consultant to attend to nearly every detail; others have the consultant work in a more limited capacity like helping with last-minute arrangements and being there on the wedding day to make sure that things run smoothly. The amount of involvement is up to the Bride and the Groom. Wedding consultants can help with everything from the beginning stages of your wedding plans to the end of the day or anything in between. Wedding consultants are very flexible.
WHAT YOU WILL SPEND:
Are you worried about the cost of hiring a wedding consultant?
It's probably more affordable than you realize and may even save you money- consultants often have relationships with vendors and can negotiate better deals for you as a result. They can also recommend florists, caterers, disc jockeys, and other professionals becuase they know what businesses have good reputations and which do not. Many brides have no way of knowing how long that person has been in business or how they operate.
Consider the cost of your consultant as part of your wedding budget, not as an additional expense. The amount consultants charge usually depends on where you live. Many charge a flat fee that ranges between 10 to 15 percent of the total cost of the wedding whiles others may work on an hourly basis.
*Remember that you may be spending a lot of time with your consultant in the coming months, so choose someone you like and feel comfortable with.*
You can get a lot of information from a one-hour interview with a consultant or you may want them to help find a location and plan the entire wedding. That initial interview is to meet with the consultant to find out whether your personalities mesh and whether their presentation is what you feel that you want.
