10 Real Questions to Ask Your Wedding Planner

(Before Booking Your "I Do" Crew)

1. “What’s included in your planning journey?”
   Why ask?
   “Full planning” means different things to everyone. Let’s avoid assumptions and align on what “stress-free” looks like for you.

2. “How many couples do you focus on at once?”
   Why ask?
   You deserve to feel like the main character — not one of 15 group chats.

3. “How do we stay connected during planning?”
   Why ask?
   Texts? Emails? Carrier pigeons? Know their style (and if it vibes with yours).

4. “How do you keep the vibe joyful when things get intense?”
   Why ask?
   Planning isn’t a Pinterest board — it’s real life. Do they sweat small stuff or radiate calm?

5. “What’s your superpower for venue curveballs?”
   Why ask?
   Familiarity with your venue is nice, but a problem-solving mindset is everything.

6. “Will you help build my dream vendor crew?”
   Why ask?
   A planner should be your matchmaker for vendors who get your vision (and budget).

7. “What’s your move when things go sideways?”
   Why ask?
   Spoiler: Something will happen. Their crisis playbook = your peace of mind.

8. “Who’s on your wedding-day team?”
   Why ask?
   Will you recognize faces? Know who’s handling what? No strangers on your big day.

9. “Can I see how you organize the magic?”
   Why ask?
   Timelines and checklists reveal their brain — and if it meshes with yours.

10. “What makes your heart light up about this work?”
    Why ask?
    Passion > perfection. Their “why” tells you if they’re in it for the right reasons.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Ooooh I need someone like this on my side,” you might just be my kinda bride (or groom, or party host).

Let’s hop on a quick call and see if we vibe:
