A wedding planner must be able to remain cool in the face of adversity. Of course, he or she must be personable and, as mentioned earlier, a excellent negotiator. You are the mouthpiece for the bride and groom when it comes to ordering flowers, hiring a band and photographer, finding a caterer, etc. You must be able to get them the best service for the lowest price — your reputation will depend on it. Networking is also vital. Establishing excellent connections will help ensure that you get excellent deals. That’s not all. In succession your own affair, as well as handling someone else’s money, requires that you be adept at handling finances. You must also be very well organized.
A wedding planner must have a excellent fashion sense. He or she should know about color, music, and flowers. A excellent knowledge of religions is also imperative, since a wedding ceremony is often a religious one. Related to this, is a knowledge of customs and traditions, which are also part of many wedding ceremonies. Plot to spend a lot of time reading the current marriage magazines, of which there are many, to keep up with the latest trends.
A wedding planner’s typical fee, according to an article in iVillage, is generally 10 to 15 percent of the cost of the wedding. Another iVillage article reports on the consequences of a 2000 Bride’s Magazine survey which states that the mean cost of a wedding in the U.S. is $19,000, placing the consultant’s earning per wedding at $1900 to $2850. According to the article, the cost of a wedding varies by region. Therefore your earnings will vary according to where you live.
