Choosing the Right Wedding Planning Company for Your Big Day

Right after that beautiful proposal from his fiancee, the stress and frustration of wedding planning begin. But today this is not as difficult as before, as various wedding planning companies are available in the market to help you with all the arrangements.

The expression "wedding planner" is often the most widely used term to describe professionals who help with wedding arrangements, however, there is still no consensus in the industry and various other terms such as consultant, coordinator, designer of weddings, event director, event producer, and wedding stylist, so keep popping up. So is there any distinction between these designations or are they just a marketing gimmick?

The following explanation of the various types of wedding planners and the variety of services they offer will help you decide the type of wedding planning company you want for your wedding:

• Wedding planners

Basically, a producer or wedding planner from wedding planning companies uses their ideas, visions, and thoughts to plan and organize their big day. They have links to different wedding service providers and help you put together all the arrangements for every little detail. Wedding planners typically have a valid professional degree in event or hospitality management from a certified facility. They know all the customs, etiquette and procedures of the wedding. They are generally quite experienced and their rate ranges from 10k to 40k.

• Wedding consultant

These professionals generally guide and supervise the wedding arrangements. They play a key role in planning and offer active suggestions. They also recommend good providers for wedding arrangements, but managing and negotiating a deal with them will be your job. They help schedule wedding day events and are present on-site to oversee all preparations on your special day. They are generally less experienced than wedding planners and their rates can range from 2.5k to 10k.

• Wedding stylist

Also called wedding architects or designers, wedding stylists basically work to make your dream wedding vision come true. They have professional training in interior design, flower arrangements, and fashion. They not only offer planning services but also take care of the design aspect. Their rates can vary between 5k and 20k.

Many budget-conscious couples decide to go the DIY route to save on the wedding and believe they can always hire a planner at a later stage if they have a solution. However, this is not always possible. However, some wedding planning companies provide their services especially for the wedding day, but this is a very flawed strategy. This is because it is almost impossible for any planner, regardless of their experience, to coordinate and handle all the preparations without having known several providers beforehand and without having a proper idea of the couple's vision. So, no matter what you do and what wedding planning company you hire to plan your big day.
