What does a wedding planner actually do?

 

The job of a wedding planner is not that of a corporate executive who has fixed responsibilities and standard operating procedure (SOP) for completing those tasks. Wedding planners in Delhi or any other part of India have to constantly think on their feet and have to be available 24/7 until the entire function is over and the payment is collected. It also includes some services after the function and they are responsible for getting the wedding venue cleaned and giving it back to the organizers in a decent condition.

It is a very dynamic and unpredictable field wherein new challenges will come up every other day. A good wedding planner should have a capable team which can handle any kind of situation and does not allow any issue to get escalated beyond a point. Since they have to deal with hundreds of guests, and each guest will come up with their own unique requests, they need to have great customer service skills along with negotiation skills, problem solving skills.

  There will be some guests who will receive online invitations, and the wedding planner needs to plan that well. Ideally a good wedding planner will create a web page for the couple wherein they will update all the details about the functions, upload pictures and allow the guests to pen down their thoughts. Ideally this page should be available to the couple for the next one month at least so that the guests who could not attend the ceremony can send their good wishes. Before taking the page off web, the wedding planners should save all the messages and send them to the couple in an electronic format suitable to them.

• Plan the guest experience– Whether the guests will dance to the tunes of a DJ on Punjabi songs, or Tango to Latino music will be decided by the wedding planner after consulting the tastes of the guests. One may choose sophisticated Veena or Santoor recital from reputed artists for the background music for the main day. The families where the groom comes on the horseback needs to have a band to play music when the baraat reaches the venue. 

The same way, the types of liquor to be served, the fragrance to be melted in the environment all add to guest experience and a good wedding planner has the capability to gauge the mood of the guests and improvise accordingly. 

What types of wedding planners are best for you?

There are wedding planners who take care of some specific needs like venue, decoration, photography, catering etc. and the family takes care of the rest. The family will send the invitations, arrange for the logistics for the guests, book their hotel rooms etc. and arrange for the make-up, mehendi etc. for all the functions. 

Some families like a comprehensive service for their daughter’s wedding so that they can enjoy the event and need not worry about anything going wrong. Plus the wedding planners should be accustomed with the culture, religion of the family and make the arrangements accordingly. For example, a wedding planner responsible for organizing a Muslim wedding should keep separate spaces for men and women and ensure that the meat is Halal.
