There are some fantastic step-by-step guides to wedding preparation at bookstores. Recently I was at Barnes and Noble and saw many. Try a bookstore. And I’ve never looked for a wedding planner, so I can’t tell you how much it would cost, I can only assume it will depends on where you live and what kind of services you need the wedding planner to do.
You can register online for a wedding planner or buy you a wedding planner. http://www.theknot.com/

It’s different for everyone, but the basics are the same… and I’m sure there are "checklists" to be found in many places.
Choose your guest list, pick a location for ceremony/reception and a date, a dress, photography, music, food, and other details that are vital to you…
I always suggest spending some time on web sites like these:
