Wedding To-Do List: Book a venue, hire a caterer, book a band, DJ or other entertainer, find a cake designer, choose a florist, decorate your ceremony and reception venues, coordinate your vendors the day of. Did I mention this is an abbreviated list and that each of these items entails a lot of work! Are you planning on doing this all on your own while holding down your job?! Instead, get a wedding planner to help you through the process. They know all the vendors in your area and make your wedding an enjoyable day instead of a second job!

When hiring a wedding planner, interview several planners until you find one who you get along with and has a similar style to yours. It is important to like your wedding planner because you will be spending a lot of time together. Also, ask to check out some pictures of previous weddings they've done so you get a feel for their style. In this interview process, you'll also want to keep your budget in mind. Does the planner charge by the hour or as a percentage of the total budget? After you have chosen a planner, let them know what areas you want them to handle. For example, if you want to make your own invitations or plan to have your family provide the food at the rehearsal dinner, let your wedding planner know. Lastly, find out if they are a Certified Wedding Planner.
