When I tell people that I am a wedding planner, the first response I get 99% of the time is "Oh, like Jennifer Lopez!" I love the movie The Wedding Planner. It is a great romantic comedy, and who can resist Matthew Mcconaughey? I don't like the idea of wedding planners the movie has put on us real life wedding planners. Some is true: the emergency kits, ready for any moment, creates visions that are spectacular. Some are false: being pushy and rude, caring more about a timeline than the happiness of the bride and groom, and costing a fortune.
I find brides looking at my prices and saying "Wow, that is not what I was thinking, you aren't thousands and thousands of dollars!" I am a planner who strives to meet every bride's budget. Why should only the super wealthy benefit from a wedding planner? I have worked with weddings from $5,000 to $40,000.
Maybe there will a movie one day highlight the joys of being a wedding planner!
