Is There A Wedding Planner in Dublin Your Budget?

The cost of today's average wedding has gotten so high, you might  think that the application of the word "budget" doesn't apply.

Of course you'd be wrong.

Whether you're spending $3,000, but I know several people  who've done it quite successfully) or you're spending $30,000 (only a bit about the average cost of a wedding today, so average  means plenty of people spend more), you still need a budget.

A budget isn't necessarily an attempt to spend less. It's a plan  for where you'll spend the money you do spend, regardless of the amount.

I hope you're among the lucky few who can afford to spare no  expense when planning the wedding of your dreams. On the other  hand, I know some fairly wealthy people, and I don't know anyone  who didn't angst to a certain extent over the cost of their  wedding.

Most people simply can't afford or just would rather not to empty  their savings and run up their credit for their wedding.  Weddings have this somewhat scary habit of being rapidly followed by even MORE expensive things to spend your hard-earned money on,  more permanent things, like buying a house and having a baby (or2).

Trickier still is the fact that many brides (the traditional  planners of weddings) are marrying a bit later in life, when  they're well ensconced in a career and don't have their weekdays  free for interviewing wedding vendors and sampling cake.


-Aside -

If you find a Wedding Planner in Dublin with a great reputation (with both brides and local vendors), you may get the best of everything: A wedding planner who can easily get you top-notch vendors and negotiate powerful bargains.

Even with a terrific planner in your employ, you should still do your own research and talk to your planner with a strict budget in mind. If the planner can't control costs adequately, it's always your responsibility to offer cost-saving ideas of your own. If your planner doesn't stick to your budget, then she's the one who did a poor job, but it's still you who are out the money. The extra cost doesn't come out of the  planner's pocket!

The question for you to answer is whether you have more time or more money to invest in your wedding. Only you can answer that.

What's The Cost

Wedding Planner in Dublin can charge you in any of three ways:

  •  A percentage of the total cost of your wedding
  • An hourly charge
  • A flat fee per specific services

An hourly fee at least solves the problem that the percentage fee causes, but it causes an analogous problem with time. When a planner (or any vendor) charges you by the hour, they lose their incentive to move fast, and you have very little control over this. Since you're not doing the work, it's tough for you to say exactly how long it should take. If you're working with a wedding planner who charges by the hour, set a maximum number (or range) of hours you'll pay for, while making sure that the planner agrees that the maximum you set is an adequate amount of time to plan your entire wedding.

 

Planners who charge a flat fee for each specific service they provide give you great flexibility. You don't have to hire them to plan every part of your wedding. If you want them to handle the venue and catering, while you hire your cousin's band and have your mom make your dress, you have lots of flexibility in paying for just the services you need, but no others. Also, by charging a flat fee per service, the planner maintains all normal (and desirable) goals to get the work done quickly and inexpensively. They don't get paid more for failing at one of those goals, as they do with the other payment methods.
