Your day free of worry!

A bridal consultant is a professional whose training, expertise, and contacts will help
make your wedding as close to perfect as it possibly can be and let you relax and
enjoy your wedding.

In addition to helping make your wedding dreams come true within your budget and
perhaps saving you from costly mistakes, a consultant will save you time. A
professional consultant, working with you, can handle the details, allowing you the
freedom to do what you want to do.

You should have some agreement in writing. An informal contract, letter of
agreement, which spells out what each of you will do, fees and payment schedules
usually is enough.

Look for the Association of Bridal Consultants logo and ask to see a current
membership certificate. Be sure to ask the consultant during the interview what kind
of education and experience they have. The designation "Professional Bridal
Consultant" is awarded to association members who have completed the professional
development program.

A consultant can charge a percent of the cost of the wedding. Some consultants
charge an hourly rate or a fixed fee.

A wedding consultant is part of your budget, not an extra expense. You often save
money because a consultant suggests less expensive alternatives that still enhance
your wedding. Consultants often can obtain discounts from suppliers.

choose your reception site.

your family.
5. Wants and Desires: let your consultant know if there is something you must
absolutely have as part of your wedding.
