Having a wedding planner is a good thing only you choose the right person, I have seen so many planner-wannabes they do not have experience assisting thecouple before or on the big day, which really piss the couples off. But of course a pro one can be a good helper so that a couple won't have worry about anything, so they can simply relax and enjoy.

A good one should be able to handle any emergency situation. Also one should be experienced in communicating with the couple and the vendors and understand the basics how wedding vendors work, I find this so important because I have seen many non-pros they do silly things like
1.  Forget to update vendors/couple when there are changes
2.  wearing bright color or beach outfit on the day,
3.  no idea where they should stand and they keep on walking in front of the video/camera/headtable

Above are just what I could observe as a third person but then what a planner could do for you of cuz will depends on the $$$. Do you need someone who speaks your language or doesn't matter? I don't have a big list of good planners, but if you wanna know the black list you are welcome to pm me, I am one of those who can see how planners work behind the couple lol

I was gonna hire a planner at first, even paid deposit already, but turn out her attitude was so bad, and very "inch", always 教訓 me, and give me lessons through her emails!  so at the end, my hubby  ...

I knew which one you're talking about =P, I guess as a wedding planner one should not be over self centered, brides do have their own requests and ideas.
