Has anyone come up with a creative way to let guests know about the rules of a venue. The bride and groom in most contracts are responsible for the behavior of their guests, but as a Wedding Planner…Continue

Is This on Any Other Wedding Coordinator's Mind?
6 Replies

This is something that bugs me the more I think about it. It seems unprofessional to me. I hear of wedding vendors who will tell their clients, "Don't hire a Wedding Coordinator, we will do all of…Continue

What advice would you give to a bride wanting a single vendor for videography & photography?
8 Replies

Do you think they can be proficient enough at both even with an assistant? I'm thinking that they are 2 separate arts and would wonder if videography might just be an afterthought. Continue

What Has Been Your Most out of the Box Marketing Approach?

In my region, I have found that most attendees at bridal shows tend to be the type of bride who doesn't feel a need for a Wedding Coordinator. I'm thinking of having a booth at the annual Women's…Continue

"I'd love to brainstorm on how everyone thinks we could approach educating brides. Shall we start tossing some ideas around. We could set up a FB page just for Wedding Planners! I'm game. "

"I also feel the most important thing is education. We have to find ways to educate brides on how planners work; as well as how we work to help them have the best wedding possible. I have a vendor list, but i do not give this list to…"

Janis Flagg replied to the discussion 'Is This on Any Other Wedding Coordinator's Mind?'

"I added to my website a statement that we don't work with a list of vendors because we want to find the vendors that are perfect for them. Interestingly enough, I just attended a seminar that mentioned vendor lists. Brides are now…"

Janis Flagg replied to the discussion 'If Brides only knew......'

"I think that all of us who are Wedding Planner should band together to come up with ways to change the stigma of being an extravagance. I read somewhere that a bride spends the equivalent to 7.5 40-hour work weeks to plan a wedding! With…"

Lakeasha Gregory replied to the discussion 'Is This on Any Other Wedding Coordinator's Mind?'

"I completely agree with you because they just give these couples a list where as we go to great lengths to make sure we get the right venue for their personality and budget. I do second this because I literally meet wit every…"

Janis Flagg replied to the discussion 'Is This on Any Other Wedding Coordinator's Mind?'

"I'm trying to come up with a solution. I've now stressed on my website that we don't work from a list and that we don't choose any vendors unless we feel they are the perfect match for our clients. We go beyond what…"

Kavonda L. Rogers replied to the discussion 'Is This on Any Other Wedding Coordinator's Mind?'

"I totally agree. What is even worse is vendors who instead of saying flat out I am not a planner allow brides to rope them into a planning job. We as planners have a hard enough time trying to maintain solid business despite the myths;…"

" Videography and photography are two separate professions. At Design a Day Greece, prefer that if budget restrictions apply, rather economize elsewhere for the wedding, than on the photographer. Why? Long after the wedding is…"

Long Engagements vs. Shorter Engagements Regarding Wedding Planning

I will be up front about this. I have never been a fan of long engagements solely for the purpose of planning a wedding. In some cases, it is like prolonging agony.

There are so many hidden costs to having a long engagement financially and emotionally. A short engagement will decrease the amount of…
