Hi there! I just got engaged and don't even know where to start with planning a destination wedding. I live in Ohio and my future in-laws live in Clearwater. They have been wonderful at helping research venues for us, but I think a wedding planner is a must for my fiance and me. Does anyone have any suggestions of a wedding planner in the Clearwater area, or wedding planners to avoid? Also, I'm on a $15,000 budget for the entire wedding...is the price of a wedding planner worth it?
Re: Clearwater FL wedding planner suggestions
A good planner can actually save you money.
I thought Staci Mandikas is like 9 months pregnant. Is she still taking on clients?
I think you have more than enough money for a planner. How many guests do you plan on having? I can tell you that my budget is around $8500 and Julie from Chic Designs and Fabulous is my planner. She is wonderful to work with! Now, my wedding is not until August but I am sure that my wedding will be more beautiful because she is involved. Also, what part of Ohio are you from? I am, originally from Dayton, OH and it's just nice to see that other people also don't want their wedding in Ohio!
