Have You Budgeted For Wedding Planners In San Francisco?

By James Schmidt


Ever wonder what a wedding planner does? Most people rely on movies like to form their definition of a typical marriage ceremony planner. These professionals are hired for their budgeting skills. As a wedding planner, you will be called upon and hired or not hired based on your abilities to perform under pressure, like there is no pressure. Learning your role in brides' and grooms' marriage ceremonies is the first piece of the wedding planning puzzle. If you want to excel past the cookie cutter Wedding planners in San Francisco, then it is up to you to define these packages by adding to your unique services.

Do Marriage ceremony Planners Cost or Save? Of course, professional marriage ceremony planners have to be paid, so in that way they obviously cost you. However, an argument can be made (and is made, both by marriage ceremony planners themselves and by brides who've been happy with their professional planners) that having a professional wedding planner can save you money in other areas.

A full-service planner can actually assist the bride from literally the beginning to the end of her planning. From the moment the groom pops the question the bride comes into the planner's office to begin the journey. This bride is often new to the area, gets overwhelmed quickly, doesn't like to make decisions, or is very busy in her career or education.

The main responsibilities of a full-service planner include: Finding reception/ceremony location, Setting budget (and adhering to it throughout the planning process), Booking vendors (videographer, photographer, florist, entertainment), Creating personal decor style for bride/groom, Negotiating pricing for all vendors involved, Attending all meetings, Creating vendor timeline/bridal party timeline and Orchestrating the rehearsal and wedding day.

Even with a terrific marriage ceremony planner in your employ, you should still do your research and talk to your planner with a strict budget in mind. If the planner can't control costs adequately, it's always your responsibility to offer cost-saving ideas of your own. If your marriage ceremony planner doesn't stick to your budget, then she's the one who did a poor job, but it's still you who are out the money. The extra cost doesn't come out of the planner's pocket!

The right planner should make you feel like his/her only client. Without a doubt, you may see that they are busy, but you should always feel like top priority! Also, follow them on Facebook and Twitter to get some creative ideas! Great planners love social media and put great stuff out there for YOU!

The most important piece of this puzzle is to make sure the vendors are directed in the right place at the right time along with the bridal party. The timeline is the heart of the event. Without a sound schedule, people will not know where to go and when they are to report. A day of planner is only as good as her timeline.

Negotiate with a wedding organizer just as you would with any other vendor. Remember that you're hiring them. They are your hired help. If you don't like their terms, you can find a different marriage ceremony planner to contract with. You're the one holding all the cards. Play them.
