An initial client consultation is the key to getting to know your wedding clients and finding out whether you are the right wedding planner to deliver their dream wedding.
In order to plan the perfect big day, you need to get to know your couple as people, immerse yourself in their love story and find out what truly matters to them as a couple. Finding the perfect location to sourcing their dream entertainment—it all starts with asking the right questions.
To find out what those all-telling questions are, we asked expert wedding planners to share the first question they ask new couples in order to assess compatibility and start unravelling how to craft their dream wedding.
Listen to the advice of wedding industry experts and tick off these questions in your initial client consultation before saying "I do" to a new couple!
