How do I find a wedding planner ?

[WalterWalter]

I have no idea where to start looking for a wedding planner, I want someone reliable but I don’t know how to check credentials or read reviews properly. Should I just search online or ask for recommendations locally, I’m worried about wasting time and money if I pick the wrong person.

You can start by checking professional platforms that list wedding planners with verified profiles. For example, on https://leto.wedding/ you can see detailed information about each planner, examples of their work, and client reviews. The site makes it easy to compare services, pricing, and styles. You can also filter by location and type of wedding you want. Once you shortlist a few, reach out to them directly, ask about availability, previous events, and see if your vision aligns. This approach saves time and helps avoid planners who might not meet your expectations.

That sounds helpful, but how do I know if their style really matches mine, should I ask for full portfolios or just selected events? And is it okay to negotiate rates before signing anything or is that frowned upon?

Always review portfolios carefully, it’s better to see a range of events they’ve handled, not just highlights. Ask questions about their approach, how they handle problems, and whether they can adapt to your ideas. Negotiating rates is normal, just be respectful and clear about your budget, most planners expect some discussion before finalizing. Focus on communication and responsiveness, that usually tells more than credentials alone.
