FAQs
I answer all your burning questions.
Why do I need to hire a wedding planner in Singapore?
Your wedding is one of your life's biggest milestones. As you might expect, planning it requires more effort and time than you may be able to afford, especially if you and your partner lead busy lives. When you engage me as your wedding planner, you stand to benefit from my knowledge of the wedding industry and expertise in planning and managing your wedding. You’ll also be able to secure the best partners for your wedding vision through my trusted network of vendors. This way, you'll get to enjoy the wedding you've always dreamt of without the stress and fuss of planning it.
How much does it cost to hire a wedding planner in Singapore?
The cost of hiring a wedding planner in Singapore depends on your requirements. For example, if you’re looking for help with only actual day coordination, expect to pay between $1,000 and $3,000. On the other hand, if you’re looking for someone to take the lead on planning your wedding from the start to the end, a five-figure sum isn’t out of the question. As The Wedding Guru, I aim to be as transparent with my prices as possible. It’s why you get three flat prices.
What is the difference between a wedding coordinator and a wedding planner?
Both ‘wedding coordinator’ and ‘wedding planner’ are terms that are used rather interchangeably. The truth is that a wedding planner also fulfils the role of a wedding coordinator, but not vice versa. As the title suggests, a wedding planner takes charge of the whole process of planning your wedding, including conceptualising the theme of your wedding, budget planning and management, recommending vendors and venues, and helping with guest management during your wedding. On the other hand, a wedding coordinator is focused on your wedding day. His or her responsibilities typically include managing the vendors that you have selected, being the bridge between you and the venue, ensuring the activities that you've planned are executed on cue, and tackling any issue that may arise. As The Wedding Guru, I’m both a wedding coordinator and a wedding planner. You may choose the service that best fits your needs.
How do I choose the right wedding planner in Singapore?
The experience of your wedding planner is important. Having been in the wedding industry for over 10 years, I've had the opportunity to talk to hundreds of couples and understand their challenges and expectations. At the same time, I've worked with multiple vendors and venues. But I find myself returning to the same handful of vendors and venues that I trust and personally vouch for. When you engage me as your wedding planner, you'll get to connect with this group of vendors and venues, each delivering reliable service and results. Above all, it's key to look for a wedding planner who will be wholeheartedly committed to your wedding. As The Wedding Guru, I lead your wedding planning as opposed to 'outsourcing', so you get the same level of knowledge, experience, expertise and commitment - and consistency in communication - from the start to the end. Should I not be available to lead your wedding planning, I’ll notify you before the signing of our agreement.
Where do I find your list of vendors and venues?
I don't list my vendors and venues because The Wedding Guru is not a portal offering listing services. Instead, I work with vendors and venues I personally know and believe in. This way, all my recommendations are authentic, not sponsored.
How far in advance should I start planning for my wedding?
How early you should start planning for your wedding depends on your requirements. If you're looking for full wedding planning, a rule of thumb would be to engage me 12 months before your wedding. This is because vendors and venues need to be booked early to avoid disappointment. If you've secured your vendors and venue, and need only some help with your wedding planning, then a lead time of 6 months may suffice. Likewise, if you're looking for only actual day coordination and management, be sure to let me know 4-8 weeks in advance.
What is my consultation with a wedding planner like?
During your consultation with me, we'll typically discuss your vision for your wedding, your expectations and what you want or need help with. As I'll be with you throughout your whole wedding planning process, it's important that we're able to communicate well and establish great synergy. Hence, you shouldn't hesitate to ask any question and provide as many details as possible. This way, you'll be able to determine whether I'm your ideal wedding planner.
