The Role of a Wedding Planner

If you're looking for a good blog to follow that guides you through the process of being a wedding planner, check out http://southerncharmevents.blogspot.com. This is my Aunt Tanya who is a wedding coordinator in Jacksonville FL.
I called her last year when I was thinking about my career to talk to her about being in the event industry. She gave me some really good tips and advice, a lot of which she has blogged about and I find very useful as I'm looking towards graduation and getting a job soon. I just wanted to share something she wrote on her blog a few days ago which is so very true, and something I have realized since working with brides:

Tanya's blog:
"The African Wedding Guide says: "...the role of the wedding consultant is that of a

• facilitator,
• mediator,
• money manager,
• artisan and
• constructor of dreams."

In addition to these things, if you've ever been a involved with a wedding, you also know the kind of stress involved with planning a wedding. Add to the above description,

• therapist,
• sounding board and
• even punching bag, figuratively of course,
when frazzled nerves come into play."

What a perfect way to sum it up. So, when people ask me why I'm so interested in being a wedding coordinator?
Well because I want to be a constructor of dreams, of course!

  1. You are right that role of wedding planner is really critical. They work really hard to make couple’s day memorable. I too am in the favor of hiring planners for perfect wedding ceremonies. Even I got help from a popular planner for my wedding at Los Angeles wedding venues and they did perfect arrangements.
