How to Choose a Northern Virginia Wedding Planner
When it comes to choosing a wedding planner for your Northern Virginia wedding, we recommend our potential clients, a few but very key considerations before hiring her/him/they.
1. Feel their energy, also known as chemistry.
As you you interview wedding planners for your Virginia or DC Wedding, make sure you have a special connection with him/her. What do I mean by this? The process of planning your wedding will be fun and effortless if you like your planner’s personality. This is probably one of the most important factors to you choose the right wedding planner for you. Keep in mind that you will be having communication with your wedding planner for months and feeling comfortable with her/him/they is key. The more enjoyable your connection is, the more trust you will build in the relationship. During our Discovery Calls is when we take the time to have that initial impression of our potential clients as well! It’s a two-way street. If something feels off, listen to that gut feeling!
2. Establish clear and open communication
As mentioned before, you and your planner will be working very closely together for quite some time. Have an open and honest communication with him/her so that your expectations are clear from the first conversation. This is so important to us as we want our clients to understand what they’re getting from us from the start. We cover this part during our proposal presentation so all parties can learn about our specific service at the same time and ask us questions if they have any.
3. Consider their experience as a wedding planner
Make sure a planner’s experience is validated by previous couples via their website, reviews, wedding blogs, vendors or by contacting a past client directly. Beginner planners will have a small portfolio and less experience – which is fine, we all started somewhere! – but make sure you feel comfortable with their level of expertise. After all, you will be investing a lot of time and resources, so experience is key. In our case, in addition to do all the planning we do, we help our clients with our Holistic Approach, which focuses in working with our clients so they feel grounded, centered and at peace.
