Pre - Wedding Arrangements

The work of a wedding co-ordinator is divided into three sections and they are:

• Pre wedding ceremonies
• The D’ Day’s arrangements
• Post wedding arrangements

Wedding arrangements require a lot of planning. Chalk out a list of all you have to do within a particular time period. Proceed in the following order:

1. Approach your client. Have a detailed discussion about how the wedding should be conducted. Ask them things like:-

1. Details about the bride/bridegroom’s family, their status, the family background and the positions they hold. These details are important because based on this information the wedding co-ordinator can actually gauge how the wedding should be conducted. He will have a brief idea about what kind of people would be attending the wedding and what the whole event should look like.

2. Enquire about their rituals, customs, ceremonies and other things to understand what their requirements. Understand the basic concept of how their wedding works. Clarify doubts instantly to avoid unnecessary confusion.

3. Budgeting is undeniably the most important thing. Determine the total cost of the wedding. Sometimes you could even give suggestions to the client saying he/she could deduct/add money for a particular item.

4. Discuss about invitation cards, food, décor, decoration and other things.

5. Don’t forget transportation. Ask them whether they have any relatives coming from abroad, or within the country. Ask for the dates when they are likely to arrive and arrange for transport accordingly. Also ask them the dates for booking their return tickets.
