Top Ten Must Haves in a Planner

6/4/2014

Hiring a professional

We've rounded up the top 10 MUST haves in a planner,
according to our awesome clients and top ten checklists everywhere.

What you should expect from your planner

Prompt responses TOP the list. When calls and emails are returned in a timely manner it alleviates a lot of anxiety.
Experience. Does she KNOW the venue and expectations of the vendors? THIS is vital. What is okay...what is not.
Location, Location, Location. What if you planned it all in our head, based on that white strip of beach where you met, only to find out right before the wedding you cant put up a structure because it's not permitted?...What's the alternative?
The Budget...dun dun dun....perhaps this should be number one? Realistically we care what "it" costs. So having someone who knows your limit and is prepared to get what you want, within those limits, is not just a want but a NEED.
Vision. Is it your vision...or theirs? Who cares if it's NOT fashionable. Is it what YOU want?
Compassionate. This did not make the list but it was noted in nearly every response...so we decided it should be on OUR list..."she was like part of the family, or we became my friends". Having someone to lean on and even vent to (in a good way), can keep the stack from blowing.
Focus. Sometimes the sought after, busy ones don't have quality time for you.
A List Keeper. You want to be able to call your planner to see if you paid for this or that, so make sure you got all the candles or even if the permit arrived. How well organized is your planner?
Driven. I know, I know...why else would she be a planner, right? What this means is how passionate is she about what she does? Is this just a Jay Oh Bee?
A Listener. Sure they all hear what you said and even took notes. someone who listens will notice the subtleties or nuances.

The Price You Pay for Originality

Not to be pigeon holed or anything....it may OR may NOT be the price that determines what kind of service you get.
Say you're perusing Pinterest or one of your favorite Bride's Magazines and you see a beautiful Twinkle Light Canopy. Your heart screams "I WANT THAT" ....so you take it to your planner at the venue and ask "who did this and can I get this for MY wedding"? It is NOT uncommon to be told YES, we can do that, yet NOT be told that you did not book the creator of that design.

CREATING is what we do here.
You're not going to get a pre-packaged, identical design from Hawaii Island Events. Hours of consulting, planning, site visits, measuring and brainstorming by our talented team results in something beautiful, designed to fit YOU is what you can expect.
