What Does A Wedding Planner Really Do

Whether it was the larger-than-life wedding binder that got out of control or your experience from weddings you have attended before that led you here, you’ve made the right decision. A wedding planner is like the best friend you never had, dedicated to bringing your vision for your dream wedding to life. But what does the services of a wedding planner really cover?
 
Traditionally, the planner meticulously plans each aspect of your wedding from airport transfers to on-site hospitality and coordinates between all your vendors. If you are planning a destination wedding, you seriously need one to make all the visas, accommodations and timely transportation happen. While it is important to stay realistic and know that your planner may not be able to control the weather, they can surely be trusted to prepare for such uncertainties (with prior notice). In conversation with Khush resident industry expert Parvy Rakar of Destination Snob, we broke it down to the tee of all things wedding planning.
