Wedding planner
Describe how much you have already arranged and which decisions you want help with. Identify your priorities, intended budget boundaries and people involved in approvals. Ask the planner to distinguish advice, supplier sourcing and day-of coordination so you know which responsibilities remain with you or the venue.
Service scope
A wedding planner helps organise the practical and creative elements of a wedding within an agreed responsibility framework. The service may include planning, supplier liaison and event-day coordination, but the planner's authority to book, spend, alter contracts or direct technical work must be defined rather than assumed.
What is normally included
- Wedding scope and priority planning
- Coordination of agreed suppliers and schedules
- Tracking decisions and practical dependencies
- Event-day support where contracted
What is not included
- Automatic authority to sign all supplier contracts
- Legal or immigration advice about marriage
- Technical safety certification by a general planner
Typical tasks
- Establish wedding priorities and planning scope
- Develop a workable preparation schedule
- Coordinate agreed supplier information
- Track decisions and unresolved responsibilities
- Support the event within the contracted role
What to include in your brief
- Wedding date or planning window
- Guest estimate and location preferences
- Existing bookings
- Tasks you want delegated
- Budget boundaries and approval contacts
Choosing the right professional
Ask for a clear scope and examples of handling comparable logistics. Discuss fees, supplier relationships and any commissions openly. Choose a planner who explains decision authority and handover rather than implying they can guarantee every supplier's performance.
Important considerations
- Unclear booking authority can create disputed commitments
- Undisclosed supplier incentives can affect recommendations
- Planning support is not technical or legal certification
