Wedding
Consultants
Wedding consultants are paid for the job of designing a part
or all of your wedding. Therefore they can be paid for the event
or only for the day of the wedding. Consultants normally charge
between 10-15% of the total cost of the event. If paying for
the day be prepared to pay about $400. We recommend choosing
a consultant that does not rely on receiving commissions from
individual wedding vendors, as this causes a conflict for the
consultant. Pay them for their work.
Wedding consultants make a lot of sense in today's market.
We are living in a non-traditional time, in which we have
little free time. It may be more cost effective to hire a
consultant and work overtime to pay for the service. It is
recommended that if you are having a wedding out of the area
in which you reside to hire a consultant. Wedding consultants
will help find reliable vendors outside your area of residence.
When hiring a consultant, we recommend
that you use much prudence. Since this person will hire vendors
and design your wedding they need to be very attentive to
your requests, and be very detail oriented. Consultants learn
these traits, and we recommend that you base your decision
to hire a consultant by judging their work. It is best to
attend an event they are producing opposed to viewing photographs
of their work, as weddings are very dynamic and pictures may
not be representative of a consultants work.
