Wedding Planning

Wedding Planning: is about organization and paying great care and attention to the multitude of minute details. It goes without out saying all wedding planners are highly organized persistent individuals, who seek the best prices for quality goods and services. Translated into layman’s terms they are wedding project managers. For this they can command high fees, which is what I wish to save you.

All project managers draw up a detailed plan of the tasks involved, with a timeframe, for the execution of the project in hand. In some instances the plan will also include reference to others where tasks are to be delegated and a timeframe for them to report back within.

– Thorough research, e.g. if a beach wedding, they will know the sunset time for that particular day, the tide times, have a long range weather forecast, with fall back plan for inclement weather, what the wild life is like, if there is the need for mosquito repellant, if there is any dangerous jelly fish which would prevent a paddle through the waves, etc. 
– Keeping within or below budget 
– Keeping exactly to the schedule, unless the wedding date is brought forward or delayed
