Diane Keaton, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Kimberly Williams inFather of the Bride.
While they may have been part of a siblings wedding or a friends wedding, they are not experts.

We need to understand the couple,their budget, and their story.
Daniels says she has at least 40 meetings with a client over the course of a year.
I do everything with my couples from attire shopping totastings.
In the beginning, we meet more if we are venue scouting as well.

The only thing my clients do on their own is create their guest list.
Less surprising, perhaps, is that the day-to-day of being a wedding planner is not always calm.
A lot of additional behind-the-scenes work must also be done ahead of a wedding.
This task is sometimes finally squared away a few days after the wedding.
Then, if there are any last-minute pressing details, we discuss and resolve.
Planners often have teams that they delegate to manage moving parts like vendors,entertainment, and production.
The night does not end early for your planner either.

I always want to know ahead of time if something is broken or missing, says Daniels.
