formalities? What sort of details will your incorporate? What colors will you accentuate with your centerpieces? If you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed, you may want to consider a planner. In fact, we recommend a couple of planners on our site.<\/a><\/p>\n

With that said, there are definitely a few things to keep in mind when selecting a planner for your big day.<\/p>\n

Check if They\u2019ve Worked the Venue as a Planner<\/h3>\n

If you already have your venue, you\u2019ll want to check whether your planner has worked at that location before. If not, schedule a walkthrough with your planner so that they can familiarize themselves with the space. This is also when they can discuss what is and isn\u2019t possible for your big day. It\u2019s a great time to discuss what is and isn\u2019t allowed at the venue, since each location will have their own policies.<\/p>\n

If your planner has worked consistently at the venue before, then they likely already have a good idea of what you can do for your wedding. However, a site visit can still help with visualization if you need it.<\/p>\n

Find Your Style<\/h3>\n

When looking for a planner, check out their previous work to see if their style matches yours. You\u2019ll be working<\/p>\n

closely with your planner to execute your big day, including discussing d\u00e9cor, food options, and more. It\u2019s important that you enjoy your planner\u2019s style, and that it matches your own. Make sure that when you reach out to planners, you chat with them to make sure that you enjoy talking with them. After all, your planner will be with you every step of the way to make sure that your vision comes to life!<\/p>\n

How Much Help Do You Need?<\/h3>\n

When you select a planner, consider how much help you need. Do you need someone who can design your wedding from start to finish? Do you need someone who helps coordinate things the month of your wedding? Planners normally offer a variety of packages to choose from, but you should be realistic when it comes to how much help you need executing your wedding. If in doubt, it\u2019s always a good idea to plan to have more help instead of less.<\/p>\n

Planners can be absolutely amazing. They take your wedding from concept to reality, creating a spectacular experience. At the end of the day, it\u2019s up to you to decide whether or not you need a planner for your big day \u2013 just remember that these tips can help you select the one that\u2019s right for you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[47,12,62,63],"yoast_head":"\nPlanning on a Planner - What to Expect - Wadsworth Mansion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Planning on a planner?
