My number one wedding planning tip for couples is to prioritize and make a list of what is most important to you. Weddings can be incredibly complex, with many different elements to consider, such as the venue, the guest list, the food, the flowers, and more. It's easy to get overwhelmed with all of the options and decisions that need to be made.
One way to simplify the process is to make a list of the things that are most important to you and your partner. This will help you focus on the things that really matter and make the process less stressful. And also make sure that you are making decisions together as a couple, and compromise when necessary to make sure that you're both happy with the outcome.
Another tip is to communicate clearly and effectively with your vendors, this will make it easier for them to understand your preferences and needs, and make sure that you're both on the same page.
And lastly, don't forget to enjoy the planning process and take time for each other. This is a special time in your lives and should be cherished.
Keep in mind that there's no such thing as a perfect wedding and it's okay to make adjustments as you go along. The most important thing is that you and your partner are happy and content with the outcome.

Describe your typical process with a couple.
As a wedding planner, my typical process with a couple begins with an initial consultation. During this meeting, we discuss the couple's wedding vision, preferences, style, budget, and timelines. We also discuss their needs and what type of planning service they are looking for. This can be full-service planning, partial planning, or day-of coordination.
Once we have a clear understanding of the couple's needs and preferences, I will provide them with a detailed proposal outlining the services I can offer, and their associated costs.
If the couple chooses to proceed with our services, we will then begin the planning process. Depending on the type of service they have chosen, this could involve working together on aspects such as venue selection, vendor research and coordination, budget management, and timeline creation.
Throughout the planning process, I will be in regular communication with the couple, providing updates, answering questions, and making sure that everything is on track.
We'll have a few meetings or calls, where we will review progress, work on details, and make decisions on final touches, such as decor and music.
On the wedding day, I will be on-site to make sure that everything runs smoothly and according to plan, overseeing vendors, and taking care of any last-minute details.After the wedding, we will have a final meeting to review the event, and get feedback.
My goal is to make the planning process as seamless and stress-free as possible, while ensuring that the couple's unique vision is brought to life on their special day.
