Six wedding professionals talk straight about financial planning and your wedding. Meet them and seven more at Arkansas Wedding Planners & Coordinators: Meet 13 We Love

The Matter of Money       

A lot of brides don’t think they can afford a planner or event designer, so they don’t even ask. The truth is, these professionals are experienced in stretching budgets and scoring deals with vendors they use all the time. Not to mention, almost all planners have tiered packages to fit a variety of budgets.

“Some brides feel a wedding planner is too expensive or her wedding is not large enough to require a planner, but every planner should be able to work with various budgets.” -Rick Steiner

“We can save you not only A LOT of money, but so much drama and heartache can be spared by simply bringing in someone who knows the business.” -Amanda Reed

“A common misconception is that we only take on large budget clients, which is simply not true. While our average client has a healthy budget, we understand that not everyone has that luxury.” -Jessica Zimmerman

“Based on the selected package, we can help our clients define and maintain a comfortable budget.” -Anne-Claire Allen Owens

“We work with all brides, budgets and all styles. And while we love showing off grand weddings, the average client’s budget is not over-the-top, but their weddings are just as beautiful!” -Chris Norwood

“I have met with brides that say ‘I can’t afford a planner.’ I always tell them,’You can’t afford NOT to hire a planner!’ Hiring a planner gives you something money can’t buy: sanity.” -Natalie Scott
