Article: Working with clients is at the heart of wedding planning. Discuss the client's preferences in detail and get a budget. Keep in mind that it's your job to book the venue, select caterers, pick a photographer, hire music and entertainment, and consult the clients on invitations and wardrobe. You'll be responsible for coordinating all aspects of the wedding--rehearsals, the reception, the ceremony, and any travel arrangements--while sticking to the budget. Additionally, the wedding planner has to attend the wedding to make sure everything goes according to plan. Remember, you should plan a wedding according to the couple's preferences, not your own. It's good to offer your judgment, but don't let your own tastes dominate your client's. The couple may ask for color schemes or decor that you find downright unattractive. However, it's their wedding, not yours, so honor their choices. Couples often ask for style advice. Feel free to give your opinions in this case. This job is all about interacting with people. Besides working with the (potentially stressed-out) couple to plan the wedding, you'll have to deal with people involved in catering, entertainment, decorations, and the venue. Plus, you'll need to mingle with ease at the wedding and deal gracefully with rowdy relatives. Being a good listener is key. You need to understand what your clients want so you can deliver a fantastic wedding that's memorable--in a good way. Weddings can be stressful and emotional, so it's important that you stay cool, calm, and collected throughout the process. Planning a wedding requires some pretty intense multi-tasking. From flowers to cakes to seating plans, you'll have to arrange everything on time and under budget. A digital or paper calendar is your best friend. Create a separate file for each client. Write down all the important dates and every client request and vendor transaction. Make sure you are easy to reach. Have your phone with you at all times and regularly check your email. That includes companies you've interned for, clients, and vendors you've worked with. Always be professional and gracious. Networking can help you get jobs at wedding planning firms, bring in new clients, and get deals from top vendors. Most clients will have full time jobs, so they'll need to meet with you outside of business hours. Plus, weddings are usually on the weekends, and you'll need to be there to supervise. Expect late night calls and consultations with the bride or groom. Responsiveness is vital to keeping your clients happy. Be prepared to take occasional unscheduled calls from a frazzled bride. Planning a wedding isn't all champagne and cake. In fact, you should expect hiccups throughout the process. A vendor may cancel at the last minute, or the wrong dress may get shipped. You need to stay calm in these situations and work with your available resources to solve the problem. Always have a backup plan, and show up with extra supplies that vendors might forget. Don't tell the couple about these issues unless it's absolutely necessary. Do your best to sort them out on your own first. Make sure you maintain good relationships with all your past vendors so you have options in case of last minute cancellations.
