What Don't Wedding Consultants Do?

What Don't Wedding Consultants Do?.What don’t wedding consultants do? You may know what wedding planners will do for you, but have you ever thought about all those things that they won’t do (or simply won’t tell you about?). Wedding professionals will make sure that you select the perfect gown, they’ll set up the best venue, and they’ll arrange everything for your wedding on paper ... but what don’t wedding consultants do?

In most cases, the number one complaint that couples have regarding their wedding planner is that these professionals are far too good at covering up the truth. Since most wedding experts often plan numerous weddings at the same time, you may not always deal with the same person. For example, you and your fiancé may meet with a wedding planner many times before the big day.

The three of you may visit venues, taste cakes, and plan decorations, but when the actual wedding day arrives ... don’t be surprised if you are suddenly left dealing with a colleague of your planner’s. Can this really happen? If you are dealing with a large wedding business, then yes, it can. In order to avoid this, make sure you put the person’s name down on a contract, and be very clear when you insist that they be present during your big day. Still, there are other things that your professional may not tell you. Wedding planners are taught to smooth over a situation no matter how bad it gets – this is their job.

So, if your DJ suddenly can’t show up, a wedding expert may just hire another one without letting you in on the secret. Why? They simply don’t want to ruffle your feathers. What don’t wedding consultants do to inspire confidence in their abilities? Certain “experts” have been known to mispronounce names; run bills much higher than they need to be; and take full advantage of destination weddings (free vacation anyone?).

Lately, wedding planners have made it a point to go after inter-racial couples. Why? Well, if you must plan two different types of weddings ... or mesh one into two ... the overall cost of the wedding will rise. Therefore, beware of a consultant that wants to add on “customized” details to your wedding to “honor” your faith. For the most part, wedding professionals are really trying to plan the best wedding for you, but there are some people out there simply looking to make a small fortune.

Now that you know the answer to the original question (what don’t wedding consultants do?), you will be able to choose a planner that is perfect for you. Though some couples will tell you horror stories, if you know what will happen during your big day (make sure you have it all written down on paper), you don’t need to worry.
