It had been a great journey finding my husband! I’ve been through breakups, heartaches, and so many dramas before finding the one. When he proposed to me, the first thing that comes to my mind is to create the most beautiful wedding with close family and friends. I wanted to reward myself for finding the man I truly love.
While planning for my wedding, I made sure that I availed of wedding planning services in Singapore to have a smooth and stress-free wedding day. Of course, I also made sure to work with a reliable wedding planner, which eventually became a close friend. In this article, let my experience guide you through to make your dream weddings come true!
Why I Availed Wedding Planning Services
Since it is my first time getting married, I had no idea how to plan for it. It was stressful at the beginning, but thankfully, availing of wedding planning services helped me in so many ways! At this point, I never knew that planning for a wedding could be fun and exciting. I went most of the time with my wedding planner to arrange these things.
Checking wedding venues
Budgeting for must-have wedding materials
Coordinating with vendors
Wedding styling
Monthly updates and meeting
Guide with decor elements
Planning guest’s invitations
I acquired all of these assistance services because I also looked for a wedding planner with good and reliable qualifications. Therefore, in the next section, I will show you the things I looked for in a wedding planner in Singapore.
What I Looked for in A Wedding Planner
1. Organisational Skills
When planning for my wedding, I expected that there would be many documents, receipts, invoices, etc. That’s why I looked for a wedding planner with organisational skills who could handle multiple tasks at once. In my case, I hired my wedding planner five months before my wedding, so sometimes I unintentionally pressured her to finish the task.
Fortunately, my wedding planner worked with grace under pressure. Whenever I requested something, she would do it promptly. Plus, she always informed me about the progress of my wedding planning. I also liked how my wedding planner kept a notebook to jot down essential notes.
2. Interpersonal Skills
My wedding planner had many tasks that needed to interact with other vendors and merchants. Without interpersonal skills, it would be hard for my wedding planner to negotiate prices and deals with vendors. I even got my wedding flowers at a discount sale because my wedding planner was friends with a florist.
Plus, on my wedding day, my wedding planner helped me with unforeseen problems. During my wedding, I only invited 55 guests, but the seat at my reception was only for 48 people. So, seven people had no seat. Thankfully, my wedding planner was an exceptional negotiator because she talked with the caterer to add more seats on the spot! Fortunately, it was solved and once again, my wedding was running smoothly.
3. Detail-Oriented
At first, I thought that the wedding day was a magical day when everything would go in your favour. But, I was wrong! On my wedding day, my shoe heel was broken. I was panicking 30 minutes before I walked the aisle. My mom was trying to calm me and she called my wedding planner right away.
Thankfully my wedding planner had a Mighty Bond and she fixed my shoes with a calm expression. I asked her why she was so calm and prepared. She answered that a wedding planner had to be detail-oriented in every step. This way, the couple would have assistance when unforeseen problems arise.
4. Responsive
Within the five months that I was planning my wedding, I usually asked for an update with my wedding planner through email and social media accounts. Of course, it was important for me to get an update about the progress of my wedding. Hence, I looked for a wedding planner that was responsive and approachable. My wedding planner was also honest when I was asking about the update. So, I was assured that everything was going according to plan.
5. Compassionate
I must admit there were days that it was stressful to balance my job and the wedding planning. I was lucky to have a compassionate wedding planner because she knew when to listen to my wedding problems and other related issues. That’s why I became close friends with her too! In the end, I made the right decision to avail wedding planning services.

My wedding day was a memorable one, and I know it wouldn’t happen without the help of my wedding planner. If you also want to cherish your wedding day, avail wedding planning services from Beautiful Gatherings in Singapore. Contact them and let them help you.
