He has gone down on his knees and proposed to you. It’s finally official—you’re getting married. Congratulations! Now, you’re only months away from walking down the aisle and holding your wedding reception in one of the best banquet halls in Michigan that you’ve long dreamed you’ll be married in with your Mr. Right. Unfortunately, beyond the wedding venue, colors, and dress, you are clueless on what to do. Don’t worry, though; with the right wedding planner, your wedding is sure to go off without a hitch (no pun intended).

So how do you go about choosing the right planner for your wedding? WeddingWire.com offers the following tips:

“A Full Service Planner guides you through the entire planning process and the wedding day itself. He or she can help you envision your dream wedding, suggest other vendors who can produce your vision, advise you on proper wedding etiquette, and work with your budget to get the most for your money. In addition to keeping your planning schedule on track, a full service planner will also create a wedding-day timeline and make sure that it gets carried out according to your wishes.

If you cannot afford to enlist the help of a full service planner throughout the entire planning process, you might consider hiring a planner for Day-Of Coordination. On the wedding day itself, he or she will manage the day so that all of your wishes are carried out as planned. With someone taking care of the details, you are left to enjoy your big day!”

While consulting with a wedding planner, make sure he or she understands your budgetary restrictions. Working efficiently with a set budget is one of the biggest responsibilities of a wedding planner, so he or she should be able to provide suggestions that will save you money while giving you the first-lass service that you need.

The right wedding planner can take much of the stress out of your wedding, so make sure you find someone who understands you and what you want for your wedding day. To be on the same page from day one, it’s a good idea if both of you and your planner visit one of the best reception venues in Michigan in which you hope to celebrate your wedding.
