Hear, hear! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE working with planners! You make it a wonderful, fabulous day for everyone, including all of the rest of us vendors. What a pleasure to partner! I promote planners to all my brides – they enjoy the day more, and so does their family. They are less stressed, and so it’s better for EVERYONE!

I would personally like to meet this planner. This is a very good post, and she really seems to get it. I conquer with Curtis.
#8 needs to be rephrased to good DJ’s. Other than that I completely
agree with everything.

Number 5 is soooo important! All the vendors need to be fed. Lately it seems like we are forgotten about more often. We might not be in the room with the reception but we are still there. Put some one in charge to make sure every vendor is included.

Thanks for #8 too. It goes for the good DJs anyways. The untrained and unqualified hobbyists or other beginners really drag us all down. Sadly, there are brides who have resigned themselves to the thought that “Well, that’s just the way DJs are…” No! Spend the time to select a good one and budget for a professional fee.

Cicily, I adore everything you have written in this series. If this message gets through to the industry, we will see massive change for the better in every element of every wedding. Next step: let’s rent a billboard to put this on!

I totally agree with #1…and never really thought about it before!
Yes…give them at least 10 minutes. They just took a huge step in their life. Let them digest and savor this huge emotional plunge!
