Accomplished you know that today many more people are getting married than ever before and people are even more eager to plan their wedding? As a result of this, more and more weddings are expected to be done shortly. And although an additional 1.8 million weddings are expected to take place this year alone, it's not that easy to plan for a wedding. Unless you're actually on the right track or a professional, this thing can be very tricky for your wedding.

Many couples that are still single tend to think that planning a wedding is easy, the question is how exactly to be a wedding planner? We consulted celebrity wedding planner, Anita Baig about this and we expect that you'll get a different answer than most of you had expected. Anita Baig is a wedding planner and has been exclusive with top weddings since her debut. She is known for her expertise and has worked with some of the most experienced wedding planners, groom guides, and caterers around the globe. So here's how to get into a wedding planner's footsteps and become a wedding planner.

As your first step to becoming a wedding planner, ensure that you and your partner have decided which wedding to have and the type of wedding. You need to make sure you're doing something unique and is going to be perfect for you and your partner. Make sure you have the right budget for your budget so that you can make an informed decision and not a risky one. Do not spend your wedding money on unnecessary things, stay frugal, and think about your guest list. Keep your budget low so that your expenses are fixed and prevent you from breaking the bank.

The next step is to make sure you get enough food to cover yourself and your couple. They're most likely to spend a lot on meals while getting prepared for the wedding. If you have multiple guests to help prepare the wedding for you, make sure you include the groom in the wedding planning process. Since he will be one of the gatekeepers, it's crucial to know how much he spends on his all items. Know where he spends money, have him look over all your plans, and see how much the event will cost.

Anita said that most of the time, she only had one employee assisting her during her debut but now that she is working with organizations that have several bridesmaids, she can train other people to be her assistant. However, she never got a lot of help as she started, however, now that she is preparing for the wedding business, she's having more help than ever. And the next is to make sure that there's enough setup and set up. Make sure that you have adequate space for the bridesmaids, the groom, and the bridesmaids, and make sure to have the wedding coordinator guide her throughout the entire process.

The next thing that you'll want to do is complete your wedding-related contact information. If you want your bridesmaids to have a place at the wedding, make sure you have all the contact information for the bridesmaids so they can be there to help out. The next thing you'll want to do is to clear the guest list. Make sure to check with all the places that are hosting your event to make sure that you can get a good number of guests and you will also have a place for them at the wedding. Another step that you'll want to take is that you will need to be sure to have a homemade basket for your guests. Make sure to plan out a popular wedding and get your friends to decorate it with the items that your guests will use.

Now that you've completed this step, it is time to hire a wedding planner. Anita Baig likes to hire local wedding planners for her events and made sure to explain what she is looking for in the wedding planner. She likes to have a wedding planner who doesn't just do the work but can improvise and helps others as well.

Before you plan for your wedding, we recommend that you speak to your celebrant about what type of work she's looking for as an engagement. This will help your celebrant choose the most suitable wedding planner for your event.
