Hi Everyone! I am engaged to be married April 2012 .My FI and I do not live in AZ but plan to wed in the Phoenix area. So this will pretty much be a destination wedding.

I was thinking about looking into a wedding planner to help me. Does anyone know about how much they run (cost wise)? Any recommendations ... Im not really sure where to even start with this whole thing. Thanks for any help you can give. Oh and Congrats to you too!!

    I planned my Scottsdale wedding from Maryland.  I found that I didn't need a wedding planner because the event coordinator at our venue is AMAZING and she handles everything we need.  I can't really help with how much they cost, but it might be a good idea for you to make a budget and then look for venues and see if you find one you like that has an event coordinator that is helpful.  Good luck and congrats!

    I agree with PP. You dont really need a planner as long as you pick a good venue.

    The venue and date is one of the first things you need to pick. Everything seems to fall into place after that. We booked an all-inclusive package when we got married. It was easy as pie on us!  :)

    I am working with Be Ward (as a day of coordinator). She is great and in my opinion affordable. Her business is the Wedding Concierge. Hope this helps.

    I am using Sherri Lucero from Planned to Perfection and she is wonderful. If you want more information just PM and I'll pass it along. She has been a blessing in helping with everything!

    There really is a TON of venues that have all inclusive options for fairly reasonable pricing.  A lot less than than a planner from what I priced out and looked into.

    I would look into what venues you want before anything else, since if they have a good coordinator or an all inclusive option, it might just make a planner a moot point for you.  One less thing to worry about if it works out that way!

    I agree-depending on the venue, you may not need one.  I didn't have one for the whole time, but did go with a day o f wedding coordinator because I was concern about things on that day.  I worked with Sweet I Do's-Brandy Blackford is her name.  She was wonderful, helpful, and affordable! 

    Good luck!
