When it comes to planning a wedding there are so many aspects and moving parts that come in to play. Venues, catering, decor, photography, bouquets, cakes, favors, you get the point.

So it's not hard to see why so many couples choose to hire a wedding planner to orchestrate their wants and needs while keeping them stress free and on budget. No pressure or anything.

How to you know if you're hiring the right person for the job?

1. Personality

I cannot stress this enough. You have to mesh well with the personality! When planning a wedding, even if just for day-of coordination, you are still spending a lot of time together, so you want to be sure that you vibe well together.

2. Portfolio and Reviews

Take a peek at their Facebook, Instagram and website, see what you think about the work they've done, and, always, always read the reviews. They speak for themselves.

3. Connections

Ask if they have preferred vendors they work with. This will also help you get a better glimpse of their work by who they recommend, and you'd be surprised by some discounts you may get working with their list!
