A wedding planner makes the brides life a lot easier. Make sure they are certified. Local community colleges offer certificates and some colleges offer associates to bachelors in event planning. They have to take initiative and stay on top of things and keep in contact regularly. They have to be well organized and should always have a pen and paper near by. They need to be very motivated and will go out of their way to help the clients and they need to be determined.
A event planner can make anywhere from 32,000-55,000 a year.
They should be paid by the hour about $15-20 an hour, but setting a contract with the client and discussing a set budget as well, but you need to make sure the planner will do their best to get the work done in a timely manner and not take their precious time just to make money on the job. You should have a flat hourly rate and talk to the client about the hours and sign a contract.
I hope this helps. and good luck. if you ever come to Massachusetts and need a planner feel free to e-mail me lol.

A professional Wedding Planner typically charges 10% of the total cost of the event (e.g. a Wedding Planner charges $5,000 to plan a $50,000 wedding). Careful using the word “cheaper” when promoting yourselves – you should use words “inexpensive”, “value”, “less pricey”, “reasonable”.

I don’t believe the first way to save is by spending money on getting someone else to do the work for you.
If i had any sort of budget i would not waste 10% of it on a wedding planner.
This is just my opinion but there are others who think the same, i am not sure the brides on a budget are your target market or certainly not your majority target market.

LBB makes a great point. While you might be able to save me money on a wedding as opposed to me doing it myself, I seriously doubt it because I’m a professional when it comes to shopping for bargains. Since I want to save money, it wouldn’t make sense for me to consider hiring a wedding planner to help me. In my mind, that’s another fee to tack on to the already expensive event I’m working on. (make any sense?)
I’m not trying to discourage you. In fact, if you like wedding planning, you would probably do a great job. I would just be careful about advertising so you don’t miss the gals you want who can pay the fee you deserve to get.
And I also would never hire a consultant by the hour. To me, that is opening my checkbook and signing a blank check. I would have a fee agreed on beforehand.
I wish you the best. Sounds like such fun!

price is big because of the times. i would expect to pay 1500. but i have seen the really talented ones on that show on tv charge 3000.
i guess i expect her to be the one who all the vendors go through. just make sure i have no worries on wedding day. and even if there are things going wrong on wedding day try to fix it with out me knowing.
i expect her to excute alot.

I hired a wedding planner for my wedding 2 years ago and I have to say, it was money well spent. I would advise anyone to hire one! Mine cost £1200. I found this reasonable considering the wedding I had. She was a lovely girl and from start to finish was really thorough. I was 5mths pregnant when I got married, which was my main reason for hiring her. After our initial few meetings, telling her what I wanted and tossing about ideas, she came up with a plan. She organised everything. On the day itself I didn’t have to worry about anything. She brought the flowers to my house, decorated the church, decorated the reception, then the evening do. Collected cake and set it all up. Dealt with any mishaps on the day (not sure if there were any!) It was great. Best day of my life (apart from giving birth) and it was so hassle free!
Good Luck on your new venture x
