Great questions . I will be definitely asking these. I am doing a destination wedding at San Andres island in Colombia. I would like to know what questions to ask so I can find out that they are not cheating me or making me overpay. I very well know that the money currency benefits me bc it quadruples 1:4 and that after Covid the island hasn’t recovered and it is down 75% in tourism making our 150 ppl wedding a great opportunity for them. Plus we are having 3 top Spanish singers performing . How would you guide this conversation?

In Spain it is common for the guests to pay for their seat at the table.

Interesting ❤

For planners who charge by %, can you explain what vendors this covers ? For a destination wedding the planners don’t help with travel, hotel blocks or any other logistics associated but that’s a huge part of a destination wedding budget… how about things like your dress and accessories, or a rehearsal dinner if the planner isn’t being asked to organize that.. those items take up a huge chunk of the wedding budget.. is there a list of specific vendors a planner would or would not take a % from?

My girlfriend Belle’s talking about wedding 💒

I am confused I need more examples please How much will the planner walk away with?...lol I'm just confused. Help me here

This is incredibly valuable insight on the world of wedding planners and what to look for as a client! Thank you so much for these sets of videos!

I get it a tent wedding is very very expensive

Girl you truly are out of touch w reality & the majority of the population here & what we make/can afford. Smh this whole video is sooo off & anyone thinking of watching-DON’T. This chick is absolutely wrong & greedy as hell

$8000 is absolutely RIDICULOUS & you charge WAAAY too much for what your job actually entails. Smh if $4,800 wasn’t nearly enough money for you to be paid to “feel like you’re contributing to your household”. I’d guess that your monthly bills/expenses etc. must be over the freakin top if you feel that way. & you probably are into top designers and top of the line high end items & should definitely set a WAY LOWER monthly budget & ACTUALLY STICK TO IT!!! Your job is a lot of small details that all equal to a wedding. But your job isn’t necessarily HARD or difficult per se… there’s pretty much a set list that each wedding thrown requires & a few other add ons/different things each engaged couple wants to add or change. But for the most part each wedding likely will require catering/bar/venue/DJ/florist/etc. Not hard to stick to a basic list & check it off as you & the couple go… I’d absolutely NEVER EVER pay anything NEAR what your beginning fee was. Absolute rip off IN MY OPINION!! If you have a great group of detail oriented & smart/patient/caring bridesmaids/a few caring family members that wanna help you out.., you likely won’t even need a wedding planner if you have a small group of people helping y’all out. Sorry to say 🤷‍♀️

You have been sharing great information however my dear your sentences mostly have been repeating over one concept several times

Please don't worry about squeezing every single second of your nice videos. People need time to consider what you are saying. Your information is great. Trust yourself. I don't need a half a second chopped off every other sentence to believe your information. Best of luck.

So helpful! I'm stuck between deciding on a white or clear tent for my wedding in Puerto Rico where it is very tropical aka sporadic rain

Wedding planner 10 family friends Jessica till Thanks

Interesting talk, although like others mentioned not a fan of the assumptions you are making for other planners, there are so many factors at play when setting price such as experience, region, peak season etc. that such broad statements reduce your overall impact.

This is ond of the most helpful wedding videos I have watched. Thank you

I set up tented weddings nearly every other weekend throughout the year, and this overwhelmed even me. Rest assured, if you call an experienced tent company to have a tented wedding, they are going to take care of 90% of these concerns for you. This is all very helpful information, but brides and grooms, don't let this overwhelm you! Also, I would say that tent flooring is a heavy splurge and definitely not a requirement unless you are in a flood zone or on a hillside. This will cut the cost significantly.

hey I'm watching this after 2 years since it was posted and it is still valuable infromation all to me amazing job thank you

Hey EXCELLENT VIDEO, Thank you so much. However, if I may add something for people who haven't seen this video yet, I'm coming from the catering world. While you might wonder what that has to do with weddings, on the contrary, it is catering that has to keep food warm, when things aren't going well, so we do have a keen sense about some things. But might I add, when asking an event/wedding planner how many events they do in a year...... there are some other things to consider. Different companies have different structures and systems. I work for one company that can only manage 4 events in a week, I work with another company that can manage 9 events in a day. Both are correct. What I recommend you listen for instead.... is a clean confident answer. A shoddy vendor who spreads themselves too inappropriately thin... will trip and stumble all over their answer and explain and validate problems and situations, you didn't ask about. A good vendor, or planner will give you confident answers, with unapologetic authority regardless of what their numbers are.

And a good rate for a seasoned event wedding manager to charge?

I really appreciate this video, Valerie. As someone who works a lot with data, your comments about inaccurate wedding data on the internet is very interesting. What do you think about the American Wedding Study published by Brides the Knot Real Weddings Study? Do you find the info in those studies and others like them align to your professional experiences?

Great video but am i the only one annoyed at how the video keep getting cut or have that little lag or something? I cannot 💀 why

I’m 15 and I’m about to plan a whole wedding🤞

helped me a lot! meeting our planner today! thank youu

This was a great video thank you ! Recently engaged and just starting to plan . Very much considering needing a planner for a destination wedding sometime between April-august 2023 . We may be seeking your help ! 💕

I am converting my one acre back yard into a venue, adding many of the elements you mentioned in your video, it is alot of expenses and thought to bring it all together but once its built, it will be a great asset... We even purchased 3 smaller 20x30 tents so far and a bunch of tables and chairs and building a beautiful covered stage area ... Thanks for your insights..

Do you have the book which you talk about in your video or website that I can order it.

Came across your video...inorder to complete my Academic project,thanks very informative.

My gosh

PHENOMENAL! NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HOW MUCH GOES INTO THESE LUXURIOUS INSTALLS!

Thank You ❤️

I want to be a wedding planner but I struggle with some mental health stuff, if I manage it best I can will I still be able to succeed in this field ?

Is this woman serious lol 200k on a wedding … who has wedding that cost 200k like 1% of the us population? lol. Me and my 50 k are just fine thank you…. Girl bye

This video didn't age well in a short 2 years. With inflation and the price of fuel the 2020's are shaping up to be incredibly expensive and not very accessible.

I'm shocked-- this is such a high-quality content video that I didn't think twice when I read your subs as '1.56M'. Like, makes sense. And then I did a double-take and realized it wasn't in the millions?!?!?! Excuse me?! Well done, thank you so much for giving such good input to us!

Thank you for this great video. When a wedding planner is hired, who is supposed to plan the engagement party?

Just half through the video already made me so glad that I booked my venue at the ranch, providing the tent set up and tables and chairs and a wooden floor already set in place.

Ok - this is literally insane. As a teacher working day in and day out with children in Virginia, I made $37,000, and she is saying some wedding planners charge a full teacher's salary for one wedding?!

Hello I wanted to know that if there is some kind of asian wedding If I need hall for 5 hours, 3 days Food will be prepared by other places But decorations for whole three days must be different So how much will it take? People will most likely be 300-500
