Preparing for a solemn event does not tolerate fuss. Here it is important to be able to correctly prioritize: coordinate the actions of the involved contractors, make lists of upcoming cases, maintain reporting documentation, and much more.
In order for the customer not to get lost in the maelstrom of multitasking, to save your time, to accurately plan dozens of important things during the preparatory period, future newlyweds usually prefer to contact a wedding planner. After all, when you work with professionals, the final result is always excellent.
So… How to choose your wedding planner? How to understand that it is the right person who will help you and lead you to the desired result?
First of all, you and the wedding planner should feel that you understand each other and that everything is clear and transparent between you. Usually, after receiving your request, the wedding planner sets up a video meeting-acquaintance, where you can understand whether this is the right person for you or not, whether he understands what you want, whether he understands your fears, whether he is ready to take responsibility for organizing your event, whether he is able to clearly answer your questions. Indeed, at the stage of preparation, the wedding planner is not just a person and a professional in his field, but, mainly, he is also like a guardian angel for you, the protector of your interests, your reliable shoulder and reinforced support.
Based on my experience, I would like to highlight some of the most important skills that a wedding planner should have:
— To be a producer who, ideologically, organizationally and financially, carries out the entire process throughout the entire period of preparation.
— To be your representative in a foreign country, with an absolute understanding of the local mentality and confident knowledge of the law.
— To be your trusted person respecting the rules of ethics and confidentiality.
— To be a stress-resistant and responsible professional who will make your dream come true
— To be an open person who hears you, understands you and will take care of all the hassle during the organization of your wedding.
Based on all the above mentioned things, it follows that the wedding planner must have the appropriate diplomas and certificates of professional education, as well as have official documents for the right of his official work in accordance with the law.
There are wedding agencies that provide their services remotely in Italy, but work from other countries. However, one should be attentive to the specifics of the local population and to a number of important aspects, such as: established friendships, accumulated experience, communication skills, personal presence, round-the-clock control over the implementation of tasks. Naturally, a wedding planner residing in Italy will handle all of this better than a telecommuting specialist.
Let’s take a look at a specific example. So, you have decided to celebrate your wedding in Italy. You searched on the Internet for suitable locations, read reviews, decided on the exact wedding details, outlined the budget. And now It’s time to decide on the site. According to your requests and preferences, wedding agencies will send you photos of videos or suitable venues. But do expectations always match reality? Unfortunately no. Each site has its pros and cons. It is important to understand.
At this point, it will be a huge advantage for you if your wedding planner lives in Italy. He will tell in detail about all the advantages of the site, competently talk about their shortcomings, correctly place the accents. In such situations, I personally go to each location and show my clients all the features of the selected area in a live broadcast format. In addition, I send detailed photo and video materials in real time. Such things significantly help my brides to stop worrying, make the right decision and make the right choice.
Working with couples from different countries, I always remember an important aspect:
«A wedding is the most important celebration, which is based on the unique story of two people, which they will pass on to their children.»
One day, after many years, this event will become a legend, and any legend must be passed on with reverent admiration from the older generation to the younger.
In any love story, the feelings, dreams and desires of the lovers themselves are always at the head of everything, and not the template program proposed by the wedding planner. A good wedding planner will listen carefully, take care, take into account all wishes, give practical advice, develop a scenario for the celebration that is right for you, and will always be in touch. A bad wedding planner will delay answers, not get in touch, and unreasonably inflate the price tag for the services, demonstrate his superiority and impose his vision.
When I look through the wedding photos of my couples in chic Italian locations, I feel like I am re-living those happy moments, and I feel an incredible burst of energy. My job is to give people exciting moments of joy, to unite families with their personal values and traditions. It gives me a huge amount of energy, which I enjoy sharing with people.
A dream wedding in Italy is an incredibly beautiful event! And with the help of a great wedding planner, it’s absolutely possible. I sincerely wish all lovers to find a fairy who will organize an enchanting celebration for you.
