The role of a planner is to literally put together your wedding for you, based on your instructions and budget, and a good wedding planner can save you time and money by negotiating deals and discounts. Wedding planner packages vary in their cost and what is included, but typically include everything you need to make your big day memorable and enjoyable. If you pay for a package, you can expect to have the venues for your wedding and reception included, along with catering and entertainment. And other packages may include such essentials as flowers, gifts, a wedding dress and tuxedo, transportation to and from the venue, and invitations. An experienced wedding planner can help you to find the package that is perfect for you.
