<p>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.</p>

<p>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 brides. It is my job to guide them in the direction of the best vendor. I hope through education we can change how we are viewed to our colleagues. </p>

<p>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 put off by vendor lists. It makes them feel limited in their choices. Progress? Maybe!</p>

<p>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 some caterers and vendors say which is "we like to recommend people who we've worked with and do a good job". That's obvious, but I feel that a true wedding planner will put additional focus on matching the personality, style and budget and look at the much bigger…</p>

<p>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; without our own colleagues bashing us. </p>
