Another issue that you may have with Wedding Planners is that they do not like working within budgets. It is important to know that wedding planners often set their fee off of the percentage of the total of the wedding event. So any couple with a tight budget can already lop off that tremendous expense. As an added fear, using wedding planners is the notorious abilities to press individuals into exceeding their budget for the once in a lifetime special occasion. While this may be true, life is about compromise and individuals need to go into the wedding planning process not with the idea of what could have been but with the attitude of what could be. Another con that wedding planners have in regards to a couples budget relates to their preexisting relationships. Many times wedding planners like to work with specific companies, companies they are familiar with do to friends or a fruitful relationship. The problem is that many times a couple cannot afford these extravagant vendors or those vendors do not offer what you are looking for so why are you paying someone who is going to try and talk you into something you do not want.
