Chandani: Stay Sane and on your game with a wedding planner
I had the pleasure of speaking with the talented Chandani Chandekar from Events By C, a company that specializes in Indian and South Asian weddings in the DMV area and Chicago. But don’t tune out if this is not your type of wedding, as everything we talked about can help any bride!
Chandani’s passion for creating the perfect wedding experience is fed by her seemingly unlimited creativity. In this awesome conversation we talked about great wedding ideas, things that you shouldn’t stress about, hidden fees that might blow up your budget and tips (& reasons) on hiring a wedding planner.
Podcast Highlights
Breakdowns
Every person is different, but from budget to vendors not being available, brides can have many reasons for breakdowns. As a planner my rule is to help guide them and find a solution. Tip: Remember it’s not the end of the world! And sometimes you end up happier with a different solution than what you originally had your heart set on.
Great Wedding Ideas:
“I did a wedding last year. And they didn’t care for a videographer until last minute. And they’re still so glad they did”
Stress
Centerpieces. Brides can get very stressed about their centerpieces, but it ends up being not as memorable to the guests than many other details.
Budget:
A planner, among many other things, can help with the little things that add up to the budget, that usually couples don’t realize – Like tips, alterations, shipping costs, travel costs, etc
Do I need a Wedding Planner?
If a bride has time in her hands and contact with vendors, they can do a great wedding. But when hiring a wedding planner, you don’t need to worry about calling or e-mailing back, keeping track of everything, putting things together…You just have to make decisions. A planner will present you with options within your budget and style and you can save your sanity!
