The Wedding Planners New York Brides-To-Be Are Looking For

By Nora Wilson


A wedding, and in particular a first wedding, is such a big event. Apart from the birth of a child, it's tough to imagine a more intensely miraculous day in a young couple's lives. There are so many people who are involved and invested. There's so much to keep track of. A great deal to plan. So much to coordinate. It is no wonder that so many couples consider wedding planners for assistance and guidance. An experienced dedicated wedding planner will help make sure that the day goes off without a hitch.

If you're looking to interview potential wedding planners New York state has a wealth of talent from which to choose. It's always a good idea to interview a number of candidates before settling on one. Spend some time looking at their websites and researching your choices first. Whittle it down to a short list of three or four wedding planners. New York wedding planners are used to being interviewed for their jobs, after all they are going to be handling possibly the biggest event of most of their clients lives. Here are just a few questions you might want to ask.

## Why don't you tell us just a little bit about yourself.

You'll want to bring someone whose opinion you trust, your mother or the maid of honor or your future husband perhaps, into the interview process as it's always helpful to have another opinion. While this first question seems somewhat vague, it's open ended enough to afford the planner some room to talk. It is important to assess not just qualifications but personality of your planner. Having someone talk about themselves is a good way to get an idea for the kind of person they are.

## How many weddings do you do a year?

It is necessary to not only gauge how experienced prospective planners are but how busy they are. You'll notably want to find out how much work they already have scheduled around the time of your wedding.

## So, what do you think about our plans so far?

Once you have reviewed what it is you are hoping to do, your potential planner should certainly have some initial thoughts and opinions. You might ask about their experience with similar weddings they have planned especially if your wedding quite elaborate or at all unusual in any way.

## Have you got any professional referrals?

Wedding planners, especially busy flourishing ones, will have a lot of professional contacts with whom they deal regularly. It is always good to ask, particularly if you don't have a personal referral to go on (ie they did your cousin's wedding etc), for a list of referrals which speak to their professionalism and reliability.

Weddings are a lot to coordinate and keep track of. It only is sensible to enlist professional help. No matter what you're looking for, you should be able to find excellent candidates very quickly online. Simply Google "wedding planners New York" or "event planner NY" or "gown preservation NY" or "wedding venues NY" and you will find plenty of talent and valuable information out there.
