- Ask for Advice: You can ask your family and friends on what aspects to pay attention to, what questions to ask, etc while meeting a wedding planner.
- Interview More Than One Planner: Interviewing more than one wedding planner separately can help you find the information you need. You can ask about the time they are in the business, number of weddings they have handled, pricing policy etc. At the same time, you should also let them know your own needs. Interviewing more than one wedding planner can allow the chance to compare prices and services offered by different planners. This can help you make the right decision.
- Check their References: Before deciding on any planner, you should see their recent portfolio or visit website and check the references mentioned. One can check reference by getting feedback directly from clients who have hired such wedding planners previously. You should always make a prior appointment before such visiting.

What great advice. I have gone through three wedding planners in the past three months. I have finally found one that agrees on the theme and decisions for my wedding. The biggest hassle is the budget, really nail down your budget!!!
