What to Ask Before Hiring a Wedding Planner (Essential Guide)
Experience matters!
Ask about their number of weddings, types of events, and preferred styles. A seasoned planner will know how to handle everything — from grand palace weddings to intimate beach ceremonies.
1. How Many Weddings Have You Planned?
Delhi’s fast-paced lifestyle often makes couples crave a serene, picture-perfect wedding escape. Whether it’s a royal affair in Rajasthan, a beach celebration in Goa, or a mountain wedding in Himachal, destination weddings offer:
Tip: At Wedding Planner Company, we’ve managed a wide range of weddings — luxury, traditional, modern, and destination — giving each couple a personalized experience.
2. Are You Available on Our Wedding Date?
Before diving into details, confirm that your planner is available on your wedding day (and pre-events, if any). Popular planners often get booked months in advance, especially during peak wedding seasons.
Pro Tip: Book your planner as soon as your wedding date and venue are decided.
3. What Services Do You Offer?
Not all planners offer the same services. Some specialize in full-service wedding planning, while others focus on day-of coordination or design consulting. Ask for a breakdown of what’s included — such as vendor management, décor, logistics, budgeting, and more.
At Wedding Planner Company, our packages include:
- Full-service planning
- Partial planning
- On-the-day coordination
- Décor & design consultation
- Destination wedding management
4. How Do You Charge for Your Services?
Transparency is key.
Ask how fees are structured — flat rate, percentage of the budget, or hourly basis. Clarify what’s included, and if there are any hidden or additional costs (like travel or vendor commissions).
Tip: A trustworthy planner will provide a detailed proposal and contract — just like we do at Wedding Planner Company.
5. Can You Work Within Our Budget?
A good wedding planner knows how to maximize your budget without compromising on style. Discuss your estimated budget early and see how they plan to allocate it efficiently.
Example>: At Wedding Planner Company, we focus on smart budgeting — helping you save on non-essentials while investing in moments that truly matter.
6. Do You Have Preferred Vendors?
Experienced planners have a network of trusted vendors — photographers, caterers, florists, decorators, and entertainers. Ask if they can recommend or manage these vendors, and whether you’re free to bring your own.
Having a pre-vetted vendor list can save you hours of research and ensure quality service.
7. Can We See Photos or Videos from Past Weddings?
Always review a planner’s portfolio before making your decision. This will give you a sense of their design aesthetics, attention to detail, and versatility.

8. How Do You Handle Unexpected Issues?
Weddings rarely go 100% according to plan — and that’s okay! What matters is how your planner handles surprises, like sudden rain, late vendors, or schedule delays. A professional planner will have a backup plan for every scenario.
Our team at Wedding Planner Company is trained to manage challenges calmly and efficiently — ensuring your day stays joyful and stress-free.
9. Will You Personally Be There on the Wedding Day?
Some planners delegate tasks to their team on the big day. Make sure you know who your main contact will be — whether it’s the lead planner or a coordinator from their team.
We guarantee that a senior planner from Wedding Planner Company is always present to oversee every event personally.
10. What Makes You Different from Other Wedding Planners?
Finally, ask what sets them apart. It might be creativity, organization, experience, or personalization. Your wedding planner should make you feel heard, comfortable, and confident from day one.
At Wedding Planner Company, our promise is simple — to turn your vision into a beautiful, seamless reality filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
