Importance of a Professional Bridal Consultant




These are routine details that a professional bridal consultant will handle for the bride and groom: Hourly Consultation, Wedding Day Coordination or Full Service Planning, Financial Advising, Invitations and Stationery (including etiquette issues), Ceremony/Reception Locations and Detailed Wedding Day Timelines.

Providing Suppliers: Florists, Cakes, Catering , Photography, Videography, Hotel Accommodations, Destination Weddings, Honeymoons, Officiants, Wedding Attire, Make-Up Artistry, Music, Rings, Gifts, Bridal Registries, Liquor, Rentals, Tents, Port-a-Lets, Transportation and Parties.

You Can Count on a Bridal Consultant to Help You in Many Roles

ADVISOR: As an expert, a professioanl bridal consultant knows weddings from the socially correct formats through the proper planning and organization of the reception.

COORDINATOR: Through extensive contacts in the wedding business, a bridal consultant can match couples with the right professionals.

SUPERVISOR: A bridal consultant will work with the other professionals to coordinate details just as the couple envisions.

FINANCIAL PLANNER: A bridal consultant can help organize a dream wedding within a budget by suggesting ways to make dollars go the farthest.

MEDIATOR: A professional bridal consultant, as an independent third party, can smooth ruffled feathers and mediate disagreements between ex-families and step families.

A Professional Bridal Consultant™ has taken ABC course work requiring time, effort, and expense. Accredited Bridal Consultant™ is 3 years after becoming Professional; Master Bridal Consultant™ takes a minimum of 6 years in ABC, plus testing, experience, referrals and additional expense. Yet there are those who say they are consultants because of their involvement in the wedding industry. It takes training for each vendor specialty…just as it does for a consultant.

I am told after each wedding by the vendors, they can see the difference, the couples are relaxed and enjoying this special time in their lives. It allows all the vendors to do their job, when they are not being the coordinator for the wedding. It makes a better day for everyone, the couple, the guest and the vendors!

Relax and enjoy your wedding day!
