What Is A Wedding Planner?

A wedding organizer or  wedding planner offers the services that the couple needs at all times. “You may have to take care of organizing the wedding from scratch; hire space, catering, photographer, etc; or they may hire us to coordinate the wedding day or design a decoration and styling proposal. We adapt to what the couple needs”, explains wedding planner Cristina Gamiz from Boda Condal.

Almost Like Mary Poppins

Claudia Martín, the soul of Entre Tonos Pastel considers that a wedding planner is more than just an organizer: “We try to be your advisers, companions, confidants and become the perfect complement for you to enjoy all the phases in which you find yourself. our couples always tell them that the wedding is not the X of July (or the month they get married), but that the wedding is already taking place and that the wedding day is the climax of all those months of preparations”.

Behind Colorín Colorado is Eva Iglesias who invites the bride and groom to imagine the wedding they want: “Many times, couples have the same wedding that they have seen with a friend or cousin, simply because they never thought that theirs did not have to be The most important thing is to think about how you imagine the wedding of your dreams, in a forest? In a palace in the center of the city? With 700 people or maybe only 30? I think it is important not to get carried away by what always and do what everyone really wants”.

When Should You Start Planning A Wedding?

All wedding planners agree that the ideal is to start organizing the wedding in a year (a year and a half if you have the place and day in mind). Estel and Vivi, the reasons that make  Stress & Success work, consider that the best date “is after the engagement to be able to work with time on a project as important as the wedding.

What Will The Weddings Of 2019 Be Like?
