Questions to your wedding planner !

Usually, you have plenty of questions to ask to your wedding planner. I read a intersting list of questions a website (ivillage) suggests to ask to your wedding planner before hiring him or her. I found these “must-ask questions” are right. So I decided to answer to them. Here are the first 30 answers to questions to your wedding planner :

We estimated the time we need to plan all your wedding with you and we define a price. This price is not going to move after !!   

4. What is included in her fee — all phone calls, meetings, e-mails, etc.?

Everything is included : once they have accepted the fee, the bride and the groom don’t have to pay anything else regarding our work with and for them Continue reading ‘Questions to your wedding planner !’
