A wedding planner doesn't have a typical nine to five work schedule and sometimes needs to work a combination of days, evenings, and weekends to meet their client's needs. Clients typically work during the day and want to meet with their planners after work or on weekends. Most weddings are on Saturdays, so a wedding planner can count on working almost every weekend during the busy months of the year. Busy months vary, depending on where you live. If one lives in the south, the busy months will be spring and fall when the weather is more optimal. If one lives in the north, the summer months will be the busiest time of the year. During the actual wedding day, hard physical work is to be expected. Wedding planners are on their feet all day long and well into the night (wearing high heels is not recommended).  They could be helping with table linens, moving boxes, lighting candles, setting up flowers, or putting out any number of small fires and overseeing a plethora of small details - the ultimate goal is always to make sure that the bride and groom are blissfully unaware of any upsets.  It can be mentally exhausting work, as a wedding planner has to be on top of their game all day long. The reward comes from seeing their hard work come together, seeing their client's joy and happiness, and knowing that the day will be remembered for years to come.
