With the world coming back together again for weddings and events, are you feeling the pressure to make your events EXTRAordinary this year more than ever? As a wedding Planner, you’ve been given the task of creating a sensational event and we want to help you. By focusing on your relationships and adding some back-up plans, you will define your work creating more space for your imagination to run wild and dazzle the couple-to-be.
We have a few tips to share with you that we hope will spice up your business and add meaning to your work.
Relationships over Perfection
Form meaningful relationships with wedding event venues and vendors. You may think that by nailing every scheduling detail and tying that bow “just right” that you are excelling as a wedding planner. However, in this industry, much of the success is built on connections and relationships.
If you’re a delight to work with and employ some good emotional intelligence skills, wedding event venues will love having you back in their space in the future. They may even recommend you to couples looking for a talented local wedding planner or give you priority booking.
Also, when a wedding planner not only has exquisite taste, expertise, and experience, but also a flock of talented vendors teaming-up with them, the clients fall madly in love! Make friends with talented vendors who you can trust.
Back-up Plans and Temper Tantrums
Plan for the worst to happen even if that means planning for big emotional breakdowns. Also, plan on some patience! Don’t tell your clients about these plans until you need to use them, but always be ready.
