mcgillvy asked:


Here’s a question for all you brides. I currently operate a very small wedding business; I make handmade wedding stationary, favors, and other essentials. I do it online and I attend a few wedding expos to build clientele. My husband and I moved across the country for his job, and before we moved, I was venturing into consignment wedding dresses.

Anyway, now that I’m in a new city, I’m thinking about starting to go a little deeper into the business and go into wedding planning. I planned my own Mexico wedding and it was very successful plus I acted as wedding planner for a friend’s wedding [directed rehearsal, dressed the hall, and detailed the entire day even down to grabbing a pail when the ceiling of the hall started to leak all over the head table, sending my husband out to find new fish for centerpieces after I found that the heating didn't work in the hall and half the fish had died, and burning the back of my leg putting out a fire that a guest had lite]. Unfortunately, my friend and I had a falling out since then, so I cannot use her as a reference.

Anyway, I feel extremely confident in my abilities, I am going to university right now [I'm in my last year of a double degree so there isn't a way for me to go and take a wedding planner course or something].

How do you go about hiring someone? What credentials do you look at? Help?

Leah asked:


I asked a question the other day and was told to just get a planner. I don’t want to hire someone to deal with me because I already drive my family up the wall. I don’t need to waste money on someone who’d probably not take the time to focus on my needs for this wedding. My mom’s doing enough of that. So am I stupid for not wanting to pay someone to help me?

I have actually wanted to do this for a very long time, but I have never known how, plus the urge is even stronger now that I am planning my own.

Ethereal asked:


I am in the process of starting my own private event planning company in colorado and I am not sure how much I should charge for my services. In the past I have done corporate work with pro teams and I have also worked as a private wedding planner in Southern California. I am planning on working private holiday parties, club openings, birthday parties and so on, but due to the diversity on my services I think I should charge by the hour opposed to offering packages. What is a good hourly rate for a private event planner with experience?
