What is a wedding planner service?

A wedding planner takes care of organizing your entire wedding, from the smallest detail to the largest. If the wedding day arrives and your dress gets dirty, the wedding specialist will help you solve this, along with any other problem that might come up. A wedding planner is the person who will tell you to leave the stress to the team and who will start preparing, by your side, every step up to the Big Day.

So, the event planner manages your wedding, and by managing we mean assuming and coordinating all the logistics behind the wedding day. Let us explain further.

If you have seen movies, and surely you have, you might know that they work at several locations, with several different teams and with a whole bunch of equipment. Planning a wedding is kind of like producing a movie: first there’s the audition.  The wedding planner will interview you to get to know your story. Then, the script. It is time to decide on the theme of the wedding, will you want something rustic or on the beach? 

Throughout the process, the wedding manager, like the producer of a movie, will put together all the pieces that will eventually make up the final masterpiece: a successful wedding day. The event planner is your best ally on this path, so when you choose, be sure to do so carefully. It will come with much relief, peace of mind, and will make everything seem like a dream.

Our team has over 10 years of experience planning different events, and adding magic behind each one. Read about our story and get inspired by the different testimonials of brides and grooms.

What does a wedding planner do that you can't do?

  • Actively listen to your ideas, your dreams and make them come true
  • Help choose, and then book, the place of the event. The planner will be in tune to details. For example, the structure and architecture of the venue, so as to work with the floral artists and think of the best flower arrangements.
  • Will you be having a civil marriage, a religious marriage or both? Leave the paperwork to your wedding planner.
  • Scenario: you ended up inviting more guests than expected. Don't worry! The wedding planner is a wizard, he will draw an ace and offer the best solutions.
  • What about Catering? The planner will arrange all of it, so that you can focus on what's important: deciding who your bridesmaids will be or choosing the bride's dress.
  • Plan the wedding timeline: what time will the bride arrive, what time will the groom arrive, what time the cake will be cut, etc.
  • Answer in detail your doubts and suggestions.

What does it take to be a good wedding planner?

Vanessa, our CEO and founder, always reaffirms that “passion in a must”. Alongside passion, here is a list of skills to look for when deciding on a wedding planner:

  • Proactivity
  • Organization and logistics: there is so much to do, one must have good organization techniques.
  • Work well in teams — or as we like to say, as a family.
  • Be willing to learn, this is an art!
  • Punctuality is also a plus.

If you feel like you have these traits, and you love the event world, maybe this is a good job for you. If you are a future bride or groom looking for a wedding planner, it is good to look out for these specific skills.

How much does a wedding planner cost?

Prices vary depending on the size of the wedding. Are you planning on having a small wedding with 10 guests? Or on going all out and inviting 500? It all depends on what your wishes may be. But don’t worry, your budget can always adapt to your specific needs.

Our company offers several options that you can explore. We have, for example, the rental service that we offer in all the products you want at your events. An extensive catalog that includes from Tables & Chairs to Chandeliers.

Who should be involved in the wedding planning process?

Of course, the bride and groom, the wedding is about celebrating their bond with loved ones. This is why friends and family are also very important in the planning process. So we recommend that you ask your closest relationships for opinions and help while making decisions.

Picture Who should be involved in the wedding planning process? Friends and family are very important in the planning process.

Its also a good idea for the bridesmaids to participate. They are the fairies who hold your hand and who go with you to costume fittings or the bachelorette party.

And last, but definitely not least, the wedding planning professional you choose will support you during the entire process. The Project Manager of your wedding will be aware of every change in the budget and planning.

How to choose the wedding date?

Do you want to get married on the beach? Summer would probably be a better option, for example. Choosing the wedding date depends on the schedule of the bride and groom, and of course of all the friends and family. We recommend that you plan in advance so that everything is organized according to what you have in mind without setbacks.

How to choose the theme and style of the wedding?

This depends on you and your particular style. The flower arrangement and the style speaks to the guests, so what do you want to say? What do you want to share with them? In Vanessa's words: “At Flower Fairy we believe in the beauty of storytelling through art. When we meet with our couples for the first time, our favorite part is hearing how they fell in love!” Many times, this unique story will help get an idea of a theme and style.

How to choose the wedding venue?

It is a matter that is closely linked to the style of the wedding that you are going to have. It’s important to acheive total coherence between the theme and the space where the Big Day will take place.

If you haven’t decided yet, we highly recommend looking into our own venue: Hacienda Los Robles, located just 10 minutes outside of Miami. Take a look at some photos to get to know this wonderful space where dreams come true. Hundreds of brides and grooms have carried out their dream wedding here.

What is a floral wedding concept?

A Floral wedding concept is one of the elements that makes your big day unique. It is the art of decorating with meaning, we work off the ideas you bring and innovate to transfer these ideas to floral installations or the flower arrangements for centerpieces.

How can one find the perfect floral wedding concept on a reasonable budget?

Our founder explained it in this way: “There is no right or wrong number for a reasonable budget. The goal is to be realistic and to find a wedding florist you can really trust. Our family is going to be honest from the get go, and when we work together we can take all the time we need to help you decide what works best for you and your budget.”

What is the wedding summary?

This is where the magic begins. When you meet with your wedding planner, you will tell them what your idea of a perfect wedding is, along with any other relevant information about guests, budget, tentative dates and preferences.
