Here’s the thing…. So many times I try to explain to couples. You are only good as their plan.
It is a common problem among coordinators that they get clients with unrealistic expectations.
When you hire a wedding planner/coordinator for OTD (On The Day Coordination): Remember- it is you, the Client that “Plans” the event. The Coordinator will only “Execute” your plan.
So as the Client, you are also the “Planner” .
The Wedding Planner/ Coordinator is not really the “Planner” of your wedding but will only “Execute” your plan. So let’s be blunt. If your Plan sucks… so will your wedding!
If you want them to plan it, then get their package that allows them to participate in your planning process. But remember, ultimately it’s your wedding so the final decision belongs to you. Your Wedding Planner can advise you until they turn blue. But if don’t take it, or pay attention… Hey, don’t blame them.
