Does anybody know or can recommend a wedding planner for me?  I wanted a chinese person, so he/she can help me out on my wedding day.  I actually had prepared almost everything, but I just wanted a wedding planner/coordinator person to help me 打點 everything on my wedding day, so I can be worry free, and I don't have to put too much pressure on my bridesmaid and sisters...Thank U!!!

I am helping a friend to look for one too! But my other friend had experience that the wedding planner or the decor designer got stuck with their routine >___<" and just can't think out of the box. It took them a good few months to finalize on a ok design.

What I have gathered is that its the best if the couple would sit down and figure out some design first before even approaching any planner. Its even better if you order some save the date card or other must have items (cheap yet substantial) to lead the planner or designer to the right track. And I do mean order/buy, because without showing them something on hand, the professional could easily talk you into some other design.... or worst case... try to upsale something to you...

Try out this place online http://tinyurl.com/customweddingsupply for ideas and custom cards and what not. My friend is holding a bunch of cards from this place to meet every planner or designer and see if they can actually work "for" us... or just going to throw us a design

I will give the few recommendations up top a try, thank you

a good coordinator is a must on the wedding day, if a friend has done that before, that's good, otherwise, hiring one is not a bad choice.

For my wedding day, I hired a decorator and asked a close friends to be the coordinator who has done a couple times for other friends. My coordinator is a time keeper to make sure everyone follows the schedules closely. I've done a very detail schedule myself though.

Many people hire a "day of" wedding planner / coordinator because 1. the couple themselves will be too busy to deal with vendors that day, and 2. they want their guests to enjoy the event instead of ...

Yes I think the same as you too.  I just want everything to run very smoothly that day, and I don't want to put all responsibilities on my sisters and brother on that day, it will be very stressful for them, and for myself too.  Instead, I did call a few wedding coordinator, they charge very reasonable, I told them I've already planned most of the things myself, and I just want someone to oversee and make sure everything is ok on my wedding day, so she only charge me wedding coordinator price, its not bad!  Its not because I do not trust my friends, its because I care about my friends, and I don't want them to be so tired, and stress, and feel so pressured that day.  Of course they will still be helping me, but in that case, the wedding coordinatro that I hired, will give them the task and instruct them what to do on what time frame.

Honestly though if you have already planned everything its not really worth getting a wedding planner...they charge you base on planning your wedding for you! you sure you don't have another friend  ...
