FAQ's

A. At one time, hiring a wedding planner was considered a luxury and thought only to be used by the rich and famous. Fortunately, today a wedding planner is both affordable and seen by many as a necessity! Wedding planners can often get discounts and great deals through their relationship with the vendors, something a bride and groom could not do on their own. Also, a good wedding planner is aware of which vendors have the best reputations, and who can give you the most bang for your buck!

A. As with all aspects of wedding planning, the sooner the better. Especially if you choose the "Full Wedding Coordination" package. The planner should be hired as soon as possible, allowing for the planning process to begin and for the couples vision to be understood right from the get-go. If, however, you decide halfway through the planning process that it is an enormous task and you do need some help, a wedding planner can easily step in and assist. Especially for the Wedding-Day only package. The wedding planner will need to meet with the bride and groom only a couple of times before the wedding (usually about one week prior), to familiarize herself with the couple, their plans and the vendors.

Q. What areas do you service?

A. Perfectly Planned Weddings of Durham currently offers its services to the Durham Region (including Ajax, Bomanville, Brooklyn, Courtice, Newcastle, Oshawa, Pickering & Whitby). Although we specialize in the Durham Region, if your dream venue or vendor is outside of the area, we can make it happen. After all, it is your special day!

Yes, our coordinators are certified by the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada.

A. In many cases, yes. Some wedding coordinators do operate on commission basis. You have every right to ask this question up front when you speak with a potential wedding coordinator. Perfectly Planned Weddings of Durham does NOT operate by commission so our integrity is never questionned. Any vendor discount we our offered, is applied to the purchase.

A. No one knows the venue better than the on-site coordinator. They are terrific when it comes to making sure the food is served on time or providing the mic for the master of ceremonies but what about the little, more personal things? Who will make sure the groomsmen all have their boutonniers pinned on prior to the service? What if the D.J. fails to show up and you're left with no music? What if one of the heels on the bride's shoe breaks off? These glitches and so many more can easily be addressed by your wedding planner. It's your special day and you should be able to enjoy it...completely stress-free!
