How to Find a Wedding Planner

You have the perfect fiancé and the perfect idea, but do you know how to make it all come together perfectly?  Probably not as well as an experienced wedding planner.  These professionals successfully plan weddings for a living.  They know how to make everything run smoothly and prevent or solve any problems from the moment you say “yes” until the final day of the honeymoon.

• Talk to recent brides about planners they may have researched or heard about.  Always do your own research about a planner. 


• Search for a wedding planner in your area on MerchantCircle.  Their information is listed on the website and customers post reviews about the services.  You can get contact information, read reviews and even a link to the planner’s personal website from MerchantCircle.


• Use an online search engine to find a wedding planner.  Be sure to complete some additional research and interview the planner before hiring him or her.


• Look at the listings on Angie’s List.  This site does not allow businesses to advertise and offers reviews from current and recent customers.  You can find out good and bad things about wedding planners in your area from this list.


• Ask wedding shops to recommend a wedding planner.  Many wedding boutiques, cake decorators and flower shops work directly with planners and they may be able to refer you to a planner who can make your wedding a memorable event.
