What To Expect from a Wedding Planner

In a day and age where speed and convenience are kings, there remain some service industries that the consumer benefits greatly from relationship building. A professional Maui Wedding Planner is that type of service provider.  Charged with planning and executing one of your most momentous occasions, building a personal relationship with the couple is often the number 1 key to success. Key characteristics of a successful wedding planner. 

1.      Compassion - In one of the most highly charged times in your life, a wedding planner's ability to empathize and help you de-stress is critical. 

2.      Listening - Talking less and listening more are vital attributes of an exceptional wedding coordinator.  By asking the right questions, they should become confident in understanding and executing your vision.  

3.      Expert in Mediation - With emotions at an all-time high, a great wedding planner must remain steady and calm and facilitate any issues that arise. Successful wedding planners will also take the time to negotiate on behalf of the couple, respecting their wishes and their budget. 

4.      Organization - With so many moving parts, it's imperative that your wedding coordinator excels in organizational skills.  Managing numerous requests with multiple suppliers and vendors takes skill, and it's something you can't underestimate in terms of importance. 

5.      The Experience – A successful industry history, a “get it done” attitude and an arsenal of business resources will result in an experience to please even the most demanding bride. This is where the experience becomes a memory to last a lifetime. 

Always remember that a Maui wedding planner's biggest asset is their ability to connect with you. During your interview process take notes and remember how they made you feel. This same feeling should prevail on the day you will rely on them the most - your wedding day!
