weddings. Planning a wedding can take up a lot of your time and
cause a lot of stress. By hiring a wedding consultant, you can
take the worry out of coordinating all the details.
"You are the decision-maker; the consultant is there to
help you make the wisest choice."
Selecting a Wedding Consultant / Planner

certification do you have How do you charge? Flat fee or percentage?

referrals that I can contact? What do you include in the contract?
A consultant's fee can range from 10 - 20 percent of the total
wedding costs or they may charge a flat fee. It's important to
interview wedding consultants to make sure they can work within
your budget and also to make sure you are comfortable with the
way they work. Ask for referrals from friends and relatives.
Before signing a contract with a consultant, make sure all fees,
specific services and any deadlines to be met are listed.
