How do you choose the right wedding planner in Ernakulam?
All couples need someone they can rely on when it comes to planning a wedding. And though family and friends are a great help, it is better to hire a professional. After all, a wedding involves so much planning, the guest list, the venue, dresses, sending out invitations, seating, return gifts, decoration, food, and so much more. So even if you do hire a wedding planner, it needs to be someone who understands what you want and can deliver. Here we have given you some tips on how you can find the right kind of wedding planner in Ernakulam who can make your wedding a dream come true –
Consultation – You obviously need to ask around and make a list of some good wedding planners. Ask family and friends, check the internet, check reviews of various websites, and make a list. Out of this, try and zero down on a few that you like. Once you have shortened that list, you need to meet with them face to face. A phone conversation or just checking someone’s website is not enough. You ought to meet that person and discuss your needs. Only then would you get an idea if that person is up to your expectations, whether their vision matches yours and whether they are a good fit.
When you speak with this person, you also might give it a thought whether his/her personality matches or at least meets you halfway. You see, you will be discussing and communicating a lot with this person. And planning a wedding can be very stressful. So this wedding planner would be a part of your life even though for a short amount of time. Hence you need to be comfortable with this person, and you need to have a good rapport as well as trust.
Background – Each wedding planner would have a different kind of skill set. Hence you need to see if he/she matches the kind of wedding you are hoping for. For example, if you want to focus on the decoration, the colors, and the theme, then you need someone who has a good sense of design and visuals. If your family gives a lot of importance to food, then maybe you need someone who is well suited to all kinds of cuisines and catering businesses. This being said, these days, most wedding planners have a large team, and they can provide you with almost everything that you are looking for. The best way to go about it would be to have a look at their background or portfolio. Have a look at previous clients, some pictures, and if possible, you could even speak to some previous clients to get a better idea.
Services – You first need to make a list of things that you want for your wedding, what you expect and what you want it like. Then discuss this with your wedding planner. Will he/she be able to provide you with all this? Some wedding planners have complete packages, while some are kind of like a la carte. In case you are confused as to what you want, your wedding planner should be able to guide you through what would be nice according to your family and how to plan it. You also need to know what they would be providing you and at what cost. A complete breakdown of all expenses needs to be given in detail. There should not be any fine print, which could cause problems or misunderstandings later.
Response – You also need to see how your wedding planner communicates with you and what their response time is. Whether they communicate through phones or emails, it needs to be convenient for you, and it needs to be fast enough.
Honesty – You might have some friends who are your ‘yes’ people. But your wedding planner should not come under the same category. When you put up some ideas and if it is not feasible or practical or just wouldn’t look good, your wedding planner should be honest enough to tell you so. For example, if you come up with some weird decoration ideas, your planner should be able to tell you that it wouldn’t go with the rest of the décor or the theme, rather than nod his/her head to everything.
If everything else fails, all you need to do is go with your gut. Do not go ahead with anything that just doesn’t feel right to you. Like we already mentioned, you need to go with a wedding planner who you feel understands you and the vision that you have. You need to feel that he/she is your friend rather than a service provider. You need to be comfortable enough with the wedding services provider Ernakulam so that you can communicate what you want and tell ‘no’ if he/she comes up with some idea that you are not too fond of.
