1. How do I know if a planner is right for me? If you want your family and friends to have a good time and don't want to stress over the number of things to do, it's a good idea to hire an assistant or two. It's always important to hire someone who will be honest and help to the best of their abilities. We suggest you interview a few planners to get a feel of who you can trust.
2. What are your credentials? Several organizations offer training programs for wedding planners, including Weddings Beautiful. Planners learn how to guide the bride in making appropriate decisions and upon completion of the course; the student is awarded the title "Certified Wedding Specialist." Certification is not mandatory; however, Magical Marriages is in the process of wedding certification through Weddings Beautiful because we highly see the importance of further education.
3. How many assistants do you have? Magical Marriages has a full-time wedding coordinator and two assistants that are available to ensure that multiple tasks can be handled at the same time. The wedding planner and one assistant will attend the wedding.
4. How many years have you been in the industry? Our wedding planner started working for the wedding industry in 2004; however, Magical Marriages was established in May 2007. She began the business because she loves it and will see to it that bridal couples get what they want.
5. How much is the deposit? The deposit is 20% of the package price. The deposit is to ensure the date is saved with Magical Marriages and no other bridal couple can book the same date. The Day-Of Package is $150.00 based on 20% of the Basic Services; however, can be adjusted to fit your budget.
6. I'm interested; however I do not have the money to leave a deposit or don't know my final budget, what other options do I have? Magical Marriages will work with your budget. If you can not pay the full amount, it can be paid increments. We understand the pressure of spending money on a wedding and will work with you as best as we can.
7. How is the hourly wage determined for the day-of package? The price is determined on the number of guests (.50 per guest x hours of work and not to exceed $75 an hour). For instance, a wedding of 50 guests will cost $25.00 an hour x 6 hours = $150. Total amount for the wedding planner includes the deposit of $150 plus the hours worked the day-of the wedding. Once again, Magical Marriages will always work with you.
8. When do we have to pay the final payment? Day-Of Package invoice for hours of work will be sent 3-5 days after the wedding and to be paid within 30 days of the invoice. All other packages require a final payment 10 days prior to the wedding.
9. What is your cancellation policy? Magical Marriages requires a 10 day cancellation notice prior to the wedding. Money back guaranteed within 3-5 business days for the Day-Of Package only.
10. Will I be charged extra for general phone calls or emails? No, Magical Marriages will happily assist with any questions or concerns. We absolutely love sharing information and providing advice for weddings. |
