A Day in the life of a Wedding Planner
I love when I get on the phone with a bride or a groom and their first words are HELP!
The most common reason a wedding couple is stressed about planning their wedding is because they don’t know where to begin. You search the internet only to get even more confused, way too many choices. You start looking for a band but haven’t found a venue or your looking at flowers and haven’t chosen colors.
When I get this email: Hey Top Shelf Wedding Planners, I think I am in need of your services. I just got engaged and have spent the past 2 weeks looking at every website about planning and now I am more confused than ever. How much would it be to hire your services?
Top Shelf Wedding Planners answer: Let’s start at the very beginning, it’s a very good place to start (who knows that song, my favorite, lol). I always tell the couple to start with a budget, can’t buy a house without knowing how much to spend, The same goes for a wedding!
So, we have several email communications until we decide to jump on a zoom meeting. At which time, I can see and even feel the stress on their face. We talk about their vision, what is most important to them for their wedding day. Are they foodies, do they love music, is it important to have a garden wedding. Who is contributing to the financially to the wedding and who is making the decisions. As we talk and understand more about how to guide them down the path of wedding planning, I see the stress starting to be relieved. At the end of the call I always hear, “Oh, I feel so much better, I am so relieved, I can breath and I have a plan”. And that plan always includes starting by hiring a wedding planner!
In 30 minutes or less, the wedding couple went from stressed to relieved. In the coming weeks we formulated an action plan from starting the planning process to walking down the aisle! I would be honored to help steer you in the right direction too. Email me a couple of dates and times that work for a call so I can help you go from Stressed to Relieved in 30 minutes or less – Karen@topshelfweddingplanners.com.
