Choosing Your Wedding Planner Packages: How Much Help Do You Need
Captured by JSchmitt Photography.
Planning a wedding is a big undertaking. Especially as your guest list grows or you realize how many little details make up your dream wedding. It can be challenging or feel overwhelming to take it all on while doing everything else in your day-to-day life. Hiring a wedding planner is the best way to get the wedding of your dreams with less work on your shoulders to make it happen.
Once you decide to take advantage of a wedding planner’s skills and experience, you’ll need to decide how much help you’re looking for and what you’d like to spend on planning assistance. Most wedding planners offer a variety of planning packages to suit every couple. You may need help only on the days leading up to your wedding and at the event, or you might be looking for help planning your wedding from start to finish. Whatever you’re looking for, a wedding planner can help. Let’s look at the three basic categories that most wedding planners offer.
The Basic Package
Many wedding planners offer a base-level package that other options build upon. The basic package is ideal for couples who want to do most of the planning themselves, but want the support of a professional planner occasionally throughout the process and on the big day. Depending on your planner, a basic package could include only wedding management services (where your planner supports you in the final days before your wedding and primarily on your wedding day) or it can be slightly more comprehensive and include set planning services in the months leading up to your wedding day.

The Mid-Level Package
The mid-level wedding planner package can vary in planning details depending on the wedding planner you’re working with. Typically, a mid-level package is a middle ground between the basic level of planning help and more comprehensive help. A mid-level wedding package is designed for couples who want the expertise and support of a professional wedding planner but don’t need someone with you every step of the way. This is a good fit for couples who already have a venue picked out or have already begun the planning process.

The Most Comprehensive Package
For couples looking for professional planning help throughout the whole wedding process, look for wedding planners with comprehensive package options. Comprehensive packages cover everything from regular meetings with your wedding planner to vendor and venue recommendations to decor planning to ceremony management. This package is ideal for couples who want a lot of support in planning a wedding day tailored to you both, want a beautiful wedding but don’t want someone else to remember the little details, or couples planning a wedding from another state or country.
