Are you looking to make that ultimate commitment towards handing someone the keys to your dream wedding? All your diary entries, Pinterest pictures and Instagram screen munches will be surrendered to the power of just one person; is he or she capable of turning your dreams into the reality you deserve? The truth is that not everyone works well together.
In the wedding industry, it's safer to match your needs to a planner who has a flare for your vision and adequate experience executing it.
Here are three types of wedding planners you should know about:
The Extravaganza Planner
If you are looking to do an Alice in Wonderland themed soiree, this planner is your plug. He or she will pull out all the tricks in the bag in order to make your reception something like a carnival.
It's common to see such planners partnering with curators in the entertainment industry to bring special performances and acts to life. Professional dancers, fire breathers and circus-like acts will become part of the line-up for wedding reception entertainment.
Most people that hire this planner may come from big families or families with political prowess that requires an extravagant wedding. These planners are used to large events so chances are that they may try to convince you to go big or go home!
The Contemporary Planner
The contemporary planner works well with decorators focusing on colour combinations, space designs and general ambience. This planner is more likely to plan corporate events and even bespoke birthday and family events with a classic feel and a modern execution.
The clients that suit this planner include people with a flexible budget to add just a touch of luxury to the intimacy of the event. Some of the best wedding receptions and after parties are put together by this kind of planner because they understand what it feels like for the couple to have their dreams come to life.
The Simple Planner
This planner is perfect for small weddings with a lower budget or events that focus on coordination as opposed to a full-service offering. The level of exposure for the event and the planner’s portfolio does not necessarily have to match.
The client that seeks this planner already have a good idea of what vendors to use, location and event line-up; they merely require someone to put them together. These planners may also provide set event packages, making the consultation process easier.
