Make Your Wedding Coordinator Your
Best Friend
By Sally Manglicmot

Wedding professionals are experts in planning weddings. They know what to expect, which vendors are reliable, quirky things about a venue, and they are specialists in servicing your needs. Many planners, consultants, professionals, experts and catering managers offer a wide range of services, from office consultation, to vendor negotiation, to managing rehearsals and discretely assisting you on the day of your wedding. The professionals already know about the little stressful events that can happen and how to properly handle them.

Where to find a wedding professional? Ask friends and relatives for referrals. Attend local bridal shows. Get on the Internet and research wedding professionals in your area, or search for wedding associations with lists of consultants. Many wedding consultants have web sites that describe their services and fees. Call the professional and/or schedule a meeting, then go with your gut feeling. Many brides express unhappiness about some issues when working with their wedding coordinator but can only point at themselves. In other words, a consultant may recommend the color blue when the bride wants the color green, but agrees with the consultant. The bride ends up being unhappy about her choice. Just another reminder, that it is your wedding, and that you hired the consultant for help in the areas that you need. You want to make good decisions that are comfortable for you.
