Back in March I received a phone call to "tip" me off that a wedding planning company would be calling and pretending to be different brides from out of the area. I was told they were going to see how well I worked and to "take" information that I offered so they could improve how they interviewed brides. -- Just so you know. It is the bride who is interviewing the Wedding Planner, DJ, Photographer, Caterer, etc. Be sure you have at least 5 questions about your specific wedding for them. See how they answer your questions. Don't ask questions that are listed on their About Page, or packages page. Make it a thoughtful question. Such as, I have a problem with one of the bridesmaids and groomsmen who dislike each other. What do you recommend in order to not have them bickering all afternoon? Or something that is personal to your wedding day. Don't ask about prices, how long they have been in business or where they are located. -- Be sure to ask, if not on their web site: Are you insured? What is the name of the insurance company? Are you the DJ who will be doing my reception or do you hire out other people? Don't ever attend a meeting without at least 5 questions and you having done some background work in reading their web page and make a page of notes about them to put in your planner book. If they don't have a web page. Read their page, but be careful. It is so easy to make a web page nowadays and for free. If the company doesn't care enough to have a web page, you may want to ask why. Do you want to hire a company that doesn't care enough to make one? -- I can help you find the right people. And If I am booked for your day, I can recommend other wedding planners. Are you a wedding planner reading this? Please call me so we can work together.
