This ensures that your wedding planner is working for YOU and not the suppliers. The best thing about charging this way is that you'll know from the start exactly what your wedding planner will cost.
Wedding planners can cost as little as $900 depending on the size of your wedding and your specific requirements of course. Wedding planners can often save you as much as this if not more by negotiating discounts with suppliers.
