Anyone planning a wedding will need help at some point. And, if you do not want to be inconvenienced with all the minutiae that comes with the planning of a wedding, the simple thing to do is to hire a wedding consultant. The job of the wedding consultant is to take over all the jobs that you either can't handle, don't want to handle, or don't have the time to handle.
When looking to hire a wedding planner, you will discover that there are essentially two kinds. One is the kind who is affiliated with a store or establishment. The second type is the independent consultant. When you deal with a store consultant, you basically get whoever is available to be assigned. However, when you deal with an independent consultant, you will have to interview that person to determine if she is the right person for your needs.
One of the first things that will be of interest to you is her availability. That is, is she a full time consultant or is she only doing this part time? At times it can be discouraging dealing with a part-time moonlighting consultant who is hard to reach because of the other demands on her time. So you want to know up front what her availability is like. On the other hand, depending on what duties you want the consultant to perform, you may only need a part time consultant.
Next, in importance to your ability to contact or reach her is her time availability. Specifically, you will want to know the amount of time that she will be able to devote to your wedding in particular. But, prior to her telling you this, you first have to have a good idea in your own mind as to what you need done. Once you figure this out, explain to her what kinds of things you need taking care of. Then, she will be able to tell you how much time she can give to you.
When you make the appointment to talk with a wedding planner you should know when the wedding is going to take place. You should also have a general idea of the kind of wedding you want. What you want to know from the planner is if she has any other weddings the weekend or day of your planned wedding ceremony.
You need to be keenly aware that in the final days leading up to the wedding, that things will always get more and more frantic. So, one thing that you definitely do not want is for your wedding consultant to be working on another wedding at the same times she is working on your wedding. Even the most efficient consultant will find this a difficult feat to pull off.
One of the most important things when hiring people to work for you is deciding if you and that person can work well with each other. Keep in mind, that the person you hire is going to be totally or largely responsible for taking care of some or all of the details for one of the most significant events of your life. This being the case, you will want references from clients who she has done work for. And, you want to ensure that your personalities mesh.
And last, but certainly not least, you need to find how much she is going to cost you. If you can't afford her you'll have to move on.
