F.A.Q

A wedding planner or event planner does more than keep the show running smoothly on your wedding day. Here’s a list of responsibilities that fall under the category of full-service planning.

To help you prepare for the big day, here are 20 things that are bound to happen when you get married. 1. You won’t be able to eat Due to extreme excitement, stress and, if you’re really lucky, a stress-induced cold. 2. You will worry about the silliest of things Not whether the groom will turn up, but whether his best man will be wearing the correct flower in his buttonhole. It’s the minute details that count, right? 3. You will feel strangely calm You expected the day to be a flurry of nerves and worry but, as you sit there getting your hair and make up done, you just can’t wait to say ‘I do’ and get the party started. Also, it really is too late to care if something goes wrong. 4. Something will go wrong You’ll forget your hair accessory, your dress won’t quite close or the make up artist has made you look like… 8. Everyone is crying apart from you What’s there to be sad about? Plus, you don’t want to spoil that intricately crafted eye make up. 9. Your cheeks hurt You never thought you could smile this much. 10. Your husband looks happy to see you Yay! He likes your dress. He looks cute. Isn’t this all delightful? 11. Husband? Lol Yeah, that one will take some getting used to. 12. The ceremony is really emotional OK, maybe one or two tears won’t hurt the make up. 13. You will feel like Kim Kardashian at some point There are videographers and photographers and fans following you around the whole time, and it’s amazing. Why do famous people complain about the intrusion? 14. Even if you literally wore a black Primark onesie, everyone would compliment you constantly ‘OMG, your dress is amazing!’ ‘You look beautiful!’ ‘What a happy couple!’ Keep them coming, guys! 15. You’ll have the best time ever You thought you’d be running around worrying about the catering and flowers, but the minute the party starts, you just don’t care. 16. The speeches are inappropriate Meh, polite ones would be boring. But you make a note to yell at your new brother-in-law at a later date. 17. It feels no different being married You expected something to feel new or unfamiliar, but everything feels exactly the same. Apart from the fact you’ve got a really expensive, pristine white dress on you, of course. 18. The dress doesn’t stay pristine for long Let it go, you’ve done your dramatic walk down the aisle. 19. Never going to wear it again anyway? This is a horrible realisation. So much money spent on it and just a few hours wearing it. 20. You will be so depressed once the day is over Yes we know it’s not the end, it’s just the beginning. But the truth is, your wedding day was the most fun you’ve ever had, and it would take a hell of a lot to top it.

Most wedding planners only handle 8 to 10 weddings every year, but some take on as many as 10 to 20 weddings, including full-service, partial, and day-of-ceremony planning. Teams typically do more weddings than solo planners. Wedding planners usually try to avoid overcommitting themselves, so it’s unlikely that a bride-to-be will be left hanging while the planner tends to another wedding.
