You do not want to waste your time (or their time) if they're not free on the chosen date. If you're not free to contact a wedding planner, then it should be your first.

2. Will you have our budget to work?
Why would you like to know: Next to the list of big issues to deal with: capital? Alysse Sweeney who is Project Studio South's owner, main event planner and organiser says that it is incredibly important for the pair to have as early as possible a detailed conversation about the marriage budget because it's not always a fun topic. "Have an early strategy meeting with an overview of who and how they can apply," she says at The Knot.
This issue is great because it also opens up discussions about your budget's potential services. For starters, if you love the manager, but can't afford to provide their full-time services, ask if they would either schedule part-time or organise the month at a reduced expense.
3. What kind of services (month-of scheduling, full-service preparation, à la carte preparation) do you offer?
What you want to know: their webpage does not necessarily explain what their offerings are, and it is important to enquire for more details about the sorts of forms in which they can assist you with your wedding plan. This knowledge will encourage the determination of which planner for you will be better. You may also need others for teamwork because, for example, you're super-organised and have time to track pros yourself. However, it might be safer to partner with a full-time consultant who can handle your administrative resources if you are preparing a destination wedding. Gretchen Culver, creator and artistic director of Rocket Science Events in Minneapolis, says it is always interesting to think about architecture and scheduling. "I hear the phrase a lot: I have to hire a wedding planner to know my plans," mostly means they need assistance with the arrangement and don't aid in the preparation of activities such as scheduling and budget control" she tells The Knot.

Why you want to know: Now is the time to see how the marriage preparation cycle will feel. Some planners send you emails and telephone uploads, while others can create boards of inspiration online and walk you verbally through swats and sample designs. Some planners are going to ask you every detail while others are waiting and filling you in all at once. No process is right — all you want is what you want best.
5. Do you deal with business services, contracts, and the processing of payments?
What you want to know: The answer to this question will allow you to consider how many vendors are handled during the whole preparation process.

Some are going to challenge you to cancel your checks with other pros. Our tip? Generally speaking, it is best to pay your sellers directly instead. In this way, the contract and budget will have more control.
6. Can you go through the collection and involvement of other vendors?
Why you want to know: You want to ensure that your wedding day has the best team to work with, so it is important to understand the process of selection of your planner.

8. Will you deal with invitations, from wording and ordering to mailing and addressing? What about the coordination of guest lists and RSVPs?
Why you want that to be said: "Full service" can entail multiple items depending on who you ask, so figure out that it is a free service for handling the guest list and invites or a surcharge.
