If It Feels Right, Do It... Hire that Wedding Consultant

Great tips to help you choose if a wedding planner is the way to go, were discussed, among other things, on the Today Blog - Wedding. In a Brides.com article, Richard Markel, of the Association for Wedding Professionals International, shared some things to look for when selecting a consultant. "Your perfect consultant is one who will seem to know what you want before you tell her. “If it almost feels like she knows you, that she can almost read your mind,” Markel says, "she is who you want."

Because there are a growing number of consultants to choose from, it is important to feel a relationship between you and your consultant. That "feeling of a relationship," is a precurser to trust. Both parties must trust each other in order for the relationship to create a successful event. I would find it very difficult to work with someone that didn't trust me enough to do my job. I have a tendancy to work harder for someone who has instilled a trust in me to accomplish the task. I wouldn't want to let them down.

Just like you know you are marrying the right person, you should know that you have selected the right consultant to coordinate and manage one of the most important days of your life.
