Choosing Perfect Planner for your wedding

Whenever you are planning about hiring wedding planner at first ask some question to wedding planner like; how many they have handled wedding planning? Contact vendors to check on his reputation and try to know better information about him and if you will probably want to interview many planners to be sure you find the one best suiting your needs.

When you will be hire a wedding planner there are few things to consider in respect to rates. There are three ways that planners are paid:

1. Now a day some wedding planning offer free services and are paid by vendors with “kick back”. This types services provided by wedding planner when they take percentage from vendors. A word of caution: this may inhibit the planner's desire to send you to the best person in the business if the best person in the business is not giving them the maximum "kick back".

2. Some of the planner charge percentage of wedding budget. In this types of services generally charge anywhere from 15 - 20% of the total budget for their services. This method is primarily used when a planner is orchestrating an elaborate, big wedding and reception planning and typically when the event has a cost of more than $30,000.

3. Other types of services which is called flat rate fee services. In these types of event they work according hours. Some consider this a better way to go because they feel that the wedding planner will be less inclined to find the most expensive vendors; however a good planner makes it his or her job to keep the bride or groom according budget.

But best option will be hire a professional wedding planner who offers packages that include both flat fee and percentage based packages with a variation of services that will suit your bridal or groom needs.

Mostly people says, if some one want to planning a large wedding with a budget exceeding the national average of $27K you will do better on a percentage fee based package. With flat fee packages there are usually boundaries as to how many hours will be dedicated to a wedding with that rate and any hours over that amount are charged at an hourly rate but I think this is good if wedding ceremony is big. So for simple wedding planning services, flat fee service is good. There are not as many hours that are required and a couple could save some do re mi by going this route.
