What is a full-service wedding planner?

Wedding planners are not all created equal, and like most businesses, the services included in what’s considered “full-service” can vary between each planner. To help identify these services, we’re diving into what may be considered a full-service wedding planner and the importance of having one when it comes to the execution of your wedding day.

COMMON FULL PLANNING SERVICES
