FAQS

Q: What will a wedding consultant do for me?

A: In addition to helping make your wedding dreams come true within your budget - and perhaps saving you from costly mistakes -a consultant will save you time. With today's hectic lifestyle, many bridal couples and their families do not have the time for the detailed planning and work a beautiful wedding requires. A professional consultant, working with you, can handle the details, allowing you the freedom to do what you want to do.

Q: How can I tell if a consultant is reputable?

A: Association of Bridal Consultant's members agree to uphold a Code of Ethics and Standards of Membership. Look for the Association's logo and ask to see a current membership certificate; contact the Association to verify a wedding consultant's status. Be sure to ask the consultant during the interview what kind of education and experience they have. Some members also participate in Association-sponsored seminars and workshops; certificates indicating that they have completed this training also may be displayed.

Q: Do wedding consultants get "kickbacks" from suppliers?

A: Some vendors do offer commissions to consultants, much as airlines pay commissions to travel agents. Many consultants pass these commissions to you in the form of discounts. The Association strongly recommends against commissions. But, in all cases, you should know how the consultant is being paid--and by whom.

Q: Won't a consultant want to run the whole show?

A: A professional wedding consultant will work with you, handling as much or as little of your wedding as you want. After all, it is your wedding. The consultant is there to help you and your family - and make the day perfect.

Q: What will a wedding consultant charge?

A: A consultant can charge a percent of the cost of the wedding. Some consultants charge an hourly rate or a fixed fee, or some combination of these. All these methods are acceptable, but you should determine in writing how and when your consultant will be paid.

Q: Can I afford a wedding consultant?

A: A wedding consultant is part of your budget, not an extra expense. In fact, you often save money because a consultant suggests less expensive alternatives that still enhance your wedding. Consultants often can obtain discounts from suppliers. Above all, the professional wedding consultant will work with you to produce your dream wedding, including the consultant's fee, all within your budget.

Q: Why can't I do the planning myself?

A: You certainly can do the planning yourself, and that sometimes is part of the fun of your wedding. But, it also can be a hassle, checking out many sources for each vendor, making sure all the details are in place and worrying about whether you're getting the best deal - and whether everything will turn out all right. A bridal professional has the training and experience to make it all work, while you relax.

Q: How can I tell if a wedding consultant is providing a quality vendor?

A: The consultant's reputation -and future business - depend on the quality of the services, including vendors, you receive. A bridal professional is committed to providing the best possible wedding for the lowest possible cost. A satisfied bride is the consultant's best advertisement. So, it is to their benefit to recommend the best vendor for your budget.

Q: Do I need a wedding consultant?

A: A consultant will be a distinct asset as you plan your wedding. Wouldn't it be nice to spend time with your fiancé and your families, rather than worrying about all the details of your special day? A consultant will take care of the details, leaving you to have the fun. And, on the wedding day, you can shine as the star, while your consultant works behind the scene to make it all happen!

Q: What qualities should I look for in a consultant?

A: You should be comfortable with the person. You will be spending a lot of time together planning one of the major rites of passage in your life.
