But not all Wedding Planners are the same! That’s why we answer the big question you’re asking yourself right now:
What are the 8 different types of Wedding Planners?
1. Full-time Wedding Planner
They are the so-called all-inclusive planner, who will take care of everything completely, and is the most suitable option for couples who are looking for a planner who is involved from the get go and is happy to tend to every detail and organise everything themselves. This type is perfect for couples who do not have much time to devote to the organization of their wedding.
The planner will guide them at all times and ensure that every tiny detail is attended to, such as the colour range, the right flowers to match the venue, the bridesmaids’ etiquette, the design of the invitations… because nobody understands all of this better than an expert.
This type of wedding planner gets fully involved in your wedding. Being full time, obviously, the cost of the Wedding Planner is higher than the other types of planners that exist, but in the end, it is worth it!
There’s a reason why most couples hire this type of Wedding Planner!
2. Wedding Planner for a month
Since organizing a wedding is a complex and burdensome task as we want to pay attention to every little detail, these types of planners are here to give you a breather by offering their services for a month.
There are many couples who also have this type of planner because they relieve them of all of the most important tasks and ensure that everything is going according to plan for the big day. They will focus on finishing the suppliers’ deliveries of food, flowers, decoration, as well as taking care of their payments. They are express planners!
3. Wedding day coordinator
It will not be until a few weeks before the wedding that you will need to contact your coordinator. The coordinator’s job will be to work out the schedule for the wedding day, as well as to organize what still needs to be planned.
Their tasks include making sure that the wedding day goes according to plan, that the pageboys come in at the right time, that the music plays when appropriate, assisting all the guests who need it and also organizing the caterers on the big day so that they all go to their places. In short, they ensure that everything runs smoothly on the most important day of your life.
The coordinator is one of the most popular planners, so much so that there are many venues that offer this service to the bride and groom.
They will be like a loved one who offers to help you with whatever you need during your wedding! But in a more professional and experienced way. You can’t do without them!
4. Wedding Weekend Coordinator
This coordinator will be a combination of your month-long Wedding Planner and the wedding day coordinator, since your wedding may not be celebrated on just one day, but also the day before or after with another event, such as an activity as a couple or a brunch with the guests.
This coordinator will be with you throughout the weekend of your wedding and will ensure that all of the events that take place during these days go smoothly.
This is not a common type of planner to hire, but they are very helpful since they will be happy to take on any kind of responsibility during your wedding weekend.
5. Destination Wedding Coordinator
A destination wedding coordinator is crucial for couples planning a wedding from afar, because if you can’t easily visit the place where you’re going to have the wedding… what better than to hire a destination wedding coordinator, who specializes in that?
They will help you search among the different venues to hold the wedding, will meet with the suppliers and will know first-hand everything that is necessary as if they were working from the location itself. They will also guide you through everything that is relevant to your destination wedding, such as the climate, religion, gastronomy… and will advise you on how to travel to the location.
6. Wedding planner à la carte
If you have a somewhat limited budget to have a full-time or monthly Wedding Planner, you will always have this option, so that you don’t miss out on the professional guidance that is required in some areas!
You will be able to count on your planner for some tasks that you consider to be out of your hands or out of control. Your à la carte planner will only help you with what you ask them for. It couldn’t be easier!
7. Destination Wedding Planner
If you are thinking of getting married in a different location than your usual residence, you need a destination Wedding Planner, because in specialization there is differentiation.
They, better than anyone else, will know first-hand the suppliers in the region, the best exclusive venues to carry out the ceremony, the invitations or the party… because organizing a wedding from a distance is not an easy task!
Most couples who celebrate their wedding in an idyllic setting make the most of the services of a destination Wedding Planner who will interact for them with the contacts on site, as they know them professionally. Trust them!
8. Wedding Planner for suppliers and references
A Wedding Planner is not only in charge of organizing your wedding down to the smallest detail, but also knows all of the suppliers you need for your wedding style and location. Therefore, many couples require these services to guide them through the wide network of contacts within the wedding industry and help them to decide which ones they need.
They will guide you and give you the best professional advice and opinions so that you can hire the best suppliers for your wedding.
Finally, beware! A Wedding Planner should not be confused with a Wedding stylist, because there are big differences, even if they work hand in hand, as the latter only takes care of the aesthetics of the wedding.
