What are some major duties in the work of a wedding planner?

[Edit]

Wedding Planner Duties

You must be sure to check with your wedding planner to be sure what they cover, but the most common is:

You usually choose your own church

He/she will choose a nice reception hall. Have it decorated in your colors and work with administration of the facilities to be sure that all tables, etc., are top notch and all menus are gone over.

Will find a photographer and work with that photographer as to where you want your pictures taken.

Will take care of the flowers, invitations

Can even choose your wedding cake for you.

Will take care of either a band or a DJ (whatever you prefer.)

Will take care of limo service

Once your wedding planner gets it all together he/she will meet with the bride and groom and go over anything to be sure you accept his/her choices or if you may want to change anything.

Again, be sure that there are no misunderstandings and read the fine print of the contract.

A wedding planner consults with the to-be bride and groom and according to the feedback that he receives from them, takes care of:

  • Ordering the flowers, hiring a photographer, musician and other service providers for the wedding. It is the job of the wedding planner to deal with the various vendors and see that he can get the best possible rates from different vendors for his clients.

  • Wedding planners usually have a great sense of fashion and this helps them to ensure that everything is tasteful and color coordinated for the wedding. They are responsible for ensuring that the theme of the wedding is reflected in all aspects of the wedding. Right from the design on the napkins, to the place settings, the flowers, and to the wedding dress; everything should be in sync with each other and it is the job of the wedding planner to ensure that.

  • The wedding planner manages the money and ensures that the wedding is according to budget.

  • In short, a wedding planner is a mediator, a consultant, a sounding board, an organizer, an artisan and a financial adviser all rolled into one. And sometimes they even turn out to be a punching bag when nerves get frazzled (figuratively speaking), even though their job description definitely does not call for it!

The obvious answer: "Wedding planners plan weddings." :-)

Wedding planners are hired by engaged couples and/or their families to help coordinate the big event. They are party planners who have expertise in planning weddings.

Any big event is complex to plan. Weddings are big events, and important ones, especially to the bride. They want everything to go right. But planning events takes time, and it helps to have experience. So, more and more busy brides are hiring planners to help.

  • Making the bride happy by relieving her of all the small details and fulfilling her dreams.

  • Wedding planners have many duties. Like choosing a menu for the reception, selecting a date, choosing flowers, getting clergy, making invitations, finding the location and decorations. Wedding planners have more duties then you think they do.

Wedding planning is not easy thing,

  • Wedding planner will arrange all things related to marriage, Planning Wedding date, place, decoration of place, invitation, guest and gifts, wedding cakes, wedding flower, and wedding jewelery, articles, wall papers, wedding stationery, wedding accessories and many more
