Wedding Planner FAQ

Frequently asked wedding planner questions

I feel that people don’t quite understand how a Wedding Planner works and the different wedding planning services they are able to offer. We regularly hear people saying they believe wedding planners are expensive and a luxury, but here at Anna Lee Munro Wedding Planning Specialists, we only charge for the wedding planning services you require and work to your wedding budget.

Why hire a wedding planner or event planner?

Arranging a wedding may seem like a daunting task to some or your busy lifestyle means you just simply don’t have enough time. It is predicted that a wedding takes between 200-300 hours which means planning a wedding is not a small task! Wedding planner services range from brain storming to full wedding planning but please don’t think I have to arrange the wedding from start to finish. I can help assist and guide you with select areas you feel you need additional support with or knowledge that your friends and family may not have. About us

Can I afford a wedding planner?

YES! A wedding planner should be part of your wedding budget, not an added bonus. I work with you to ensure my wedding planner service is affordable.

My Venue has a Coordinator, Why do I need a Wedding Planner?

Venue Wedding Coordinators/Planners work for the venue and you purchase a service in which you are allocated a coordinator, mainly hotels or venues that don’t just specialise in weddings.

They are there to coordinate the staff and make sure everything at the venue is in order. Some of the time, they will not be there on your wedding day as they will hand over the details to the operations team.

They may not liaise with your wedding suppliers to finalise details for the day.

They will be limited to what they are able to help you with, for example: putting name cards out on the table, so if you choose this option, make sure their services are clear.

I have worked at many venues that have a Venue Coordinator and we work closely together to ensure everything is managed between us.

Check out my Portfolio to see which venues I have collaborated with.

How does discount from suppliers work?

I work closely with local wedding suppliers who all want to support each other. Therefore they offer, where possible, discount or additional service to my clients. This discount is then passed directly to you and I do not operate on a commission basis.

How soon should I book your services?

I would recommend anywhere between 6-14 months in advance of your wedding date, however if I have availability we will endeavor to help with last-minute weddings/events or if looking at the finishing touches package I would recommend a minimum of 1 month. Contact us
