Types of Wedding Planners

Are you on a budget and are afraid you won’t be able to afford a wedding planner? Or do you have an unlimited budget and want all of the planning details taken care of?


There is a planner to fit everyone’s needs!

Here are some different types of wedding planners and what they can provide:


Full Service Planner
This planner will take care of EVERYTHING! This type is great for brides that do not have a restricted budget. Have an idea but not really sure how to put it into action? This type of planner is excellent for you! Planners love brides like that because it gives them a chance to be creative. You can give them a general idea and they will run with it and create and amazing design for you.

Partial Planners
A little less help that full service, but much more than a day of planner. These types of planners are still great assets and can help you interact with your vendors and give any last minute recommendations for vendors that are still needed.

Day-of Planner
This is most likely the best option for a couple that is on a budget. This type of planner doesn’t walk you through the process but is very helpful on the day of to help coordinate your vendors. Although this may sound like something easy, you are not going to want to have to worry about that on your wedding day. Your wedding is supposed to be fun for you too!


Here is a site of a trusted planner friend of mine that shows what is generally included for all three types of planning: http://www.briannakeboevents.com/services.html


Most importantly: Do your research! Don’t just pick one off the internet because they have a pretty website. Check to see if they are part of an association such as ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) or other national associations. http://www.bridalassn.com/
These associations have protocols to ensure that their planners are the best! Also, ask your friends or family members if they have used a planner in the past that they really enjoyed. Most planners do get their business by referrals.
