Do you have preferred vendors? Can you discuss to us on how they are selected and how we will be involved?

By discussing this question with your wedding planner, you can be assured that you have the best team with you to help your wedding day to go smoothly. The selection process of a vendor is important. Professional wedding planners know other wedding professionals in the industry and they have a network of people that can help you create the best wedding day so you can enjoy it with your special someone.

By hiring pros for your wedding day, you will be able to share great memories with your partner, family, and friends.

Some planners will create sketches and send you details over the phone or emails while others create online inspirational boards and will discuss with you all the designs in person during your scheduled meetings. Other planners will work with you side by side every step of the way and discuss all the details with you during your meetings with each other.

Will you be coordinating everything such as hiring a photographer, florist, event stylist, wedding singer, caterer, etc.?

This question will help you find out if you need to hire the other professionals that will work during your wedding day.

Do you have staff? Will you be attending the wedding day?
