If you are planning on getting married soon, you’re probably wondering how much you should spend on a wedding planner. First and foremost couples must understand that a wedding planner’s price model varies due to location, with their level of experience, and the services they offer. Wedding planners in high demand destinations charge premium prices compared to less demand areas, so you will notice a significant difference amongst their price models. The specific level of service they provide falls under the tiers of full-service planning, partial planning, day of coordination, or custom solutions and it all depends on what you and your partner are envisioning for your wedding day. Full-service wedding planners typically charge 20% of the overall wedding budget while a day of coordinator charges 5-15%. Once you’ve decided on the specific wedding planning service you’re interested in for your memorable day, you will be closer to determining the percentage of your budget that will go towards your wedding planner.
