Important Questions to Ask Your Wedding Consultant
Are you planning to hire a wedding consultant? If you do, better check out their credentials. Don't just hire the first person your friend told you to hire. Getting someone to work for you as you go with your wedding planning is a major decision that should not be taken lightly. Keep in mind that not all wedding consultants are just like the movie The Wedding Planner starred by Jennifer Lopez. There are other wedding consultants that are not even in the same league as with the movie. So before signing a contract with one, analyze them first.
First that you should look for when searching for one is if that person has a license. Does she belong to a company and does her company operate with a business license? You can also look if they have at least a DBA registration. Even if the wedding planner works at home, find if she has liability insurance and how long she has been doing this sort of business.
Keep in mind that although some professional wedding consultants may belong to an association, some unprofessional organizations and associations do not often require requirements and would just be happy if the company can pay dues so be careful with that. It is also important to know if the consultant is certified and by whom. As much as possible know the Association that gave the certification.
You should also know how many weddings they do per year and ask for at least five vendor referrals from them. It is necessary to get vendor referrals than bride referrals as they are more accurate and reliable in giving information about the wedding consultant.
Also, when choosing a wedding consultant, better get a copy of their contract and of course it is also important to set your own expectation. Ask possible questions and concerns you may have. This person should be able to show efficiency, organized, able to listen to your own ideas and translate this into reality while still showing concern and attention to detail even with your bridal jewelry.
While checking the credibility of a Consultant, you should also know if their company is well within your wedding budget. Since there are different types of consultant that would also depend on your needs, their price will also be different from each. Better know how much you would really pay for one since some may even charge you for additional services every time they help that is not within the signed agreement. Once you have settled everything, it is now time to just sit back and relax since your wedding consultant will do most of your work.
