Sometimes there are blog posts that need to be shared. The following is one of them. A couple times a week, I find that I am trying to prove the worth of a professional planner. A truly professional planner is the glue that keeps it all together. The captain that keeps the ship from sinking. You get the idea. Unfortunately, the bride in this following post (like so many others), did not see the value in hiring a planner and paid the price on one of the most memorable days of her life.
Thank you to Jeannie Ward of Wedding Jean in Southern California for writing the post. Hopefully, she will save many more brides to be from experiencing a wedding day disaster like this:
"My blog is a place where brides and grooms can come for good advice with a smile. Normally, I wouldn’t post anything with a negative tone, but I’m compelled to warn you about what can happen when you don’t hire an experienced wedding planner.
Recently a bride called me inquiring about hiring me. I was already booked for her day, but referred her to another planner that I know and trust. Her wedding was 45 days away and she still didn’t have a DJ. Even though I wasn’t her planner I referred a great DJ to her, and she hired him.
Monday after the wedding, I heard from my valued DJ. The bride decided not to hire a planner because she didn’t want to pay the fee, and she was confident that her family members would take care of the details. Unfortunately they didn’t, and her wedding was not all she was wishing for. Here is a list of what went wrong, and how it could have been avoided."
