Wedding Planner Suggestions

I just got engaged and feel a little overwhelmed. I've started to look at venues and feel like the whole process might be too much to take on alone. Does anyone know or a really good wedding planner in the Dallas area that will pretty much lead me through the whole process step by step?

Thanks.

    Hi there! Welcome.

    Check out the vendor sticky.  It's a great place to start.

    We're also here for any questions you have.  Good luck!

    Me.

    I'm totally kidding. In a few years I might not be though.

    Are you trying to stay within a specific budget? My Day-of Coordinator also does full planning from start to finish, and is very budget friendly.

    I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

    Hi and welcome!  It can be very overwhelming.  I suggest making out your guest list (to determine the size venue you will need) and budget first if you haven't already--those 2 things alone can cut down alot of your searching.  

    I knew I wanted an outdoor ceremony space so I limited my search to venues that had one--if you can think of a specific thing like that you want, that can also help eliminate places.  Good luck and let us know if we can help! 

    ETA: Oh but a planner can be great too, heh.  I know Meredith Commender with Significant Events always comes highly recommended.  Also my florist is a planner now, Tami Winn with Tami Winn Events.

    I'm using Lauren Schmidt with Creative Touch Events and she has been a lifesaver!!!

    When we found our venue I couldn't even speak to ask questions, and she interviewed them while I stood in awe.

    She has helped contact and cancel contracts I had with a vendor who wouldn't respond to me.

    She asks questions and gives suggestiongs I would never think to ask!!
