During the Initial Contact :

Your first contact with planner will be via phone or email . Although you ’ ve probably read in detail all of the planner ’ s services on their website , it ’ s important to ask them straight out . The answer should be easily heard for the passion , enthusiasm and excitement they have for their job and to work for you , not sound ‘ canned ’.

Next Steps :

If you get a sense of great connection with the planner you ’ ve interviewed , the next step is to complete a contract with your planner that outlines responsibilities and expectations . The meetings you have to follow should include budget review , vendor referrals , vendor contract reviews and wedding day timeline creation to name a few .

First In-Person Interview :

The planner should come dressed to impress , engage you in conversation showing interest in you , and come well prepared with their portfolio and “ Emergency Wedding Day Kit ”. Watch to see if they ’ re taking notes and filling out an introductory questionnaire about your visions for your day . francesbeatty . com
