But it can be one of the most rewarding careers with one of the most diverse career paths. If you\u2019re working for a company, you\u2019ll have a support team who\u2019ll help you through all the obstacles that come your way. Those who are self-employed have it a little harder, though. As you reap all the rewards of being an independent business owner, such as setting your own rates and choosing your clients, you\u2019ll also have to be the sole bearer of all the difficulties along the way.<\/p>\n<p>But when you\u2019re on-site and working with clients one-on-one, even if you\u2019re part of a big company, it may seem like you\u2019re all alone\u2014but you really aren\u2019t! All professional wedding planners know that the struggle is <em>real<\/em>. Still not convinced? We\u2019ve come up with a list of the 6 struggles that only certified wedding planners will understand!<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/6-struggles-certified-wedding-planner\/#1_When_you_have_to_accommodate_last-minute_guests\" >1.

When you have to accommodate last-minute guests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike in the movies, last-minute guests don\u2019t just come and crash weddings\u2026 that often. You\u2019ll come to expect your clients to approach you just weeks (or days if you\u2019re <em>really <\/em>unlucky) before the wedding to ask if you can sneak in a spot for their yoga instructor. This can be tricky because they are essentially asking if you can open up another seat at a potentially full table, and make sure they have a meal to chow down on.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, being the super-savvy planner that you are, you\u2019ve already made arrangements in case this happens. Foresight is one of the most important skills a wedding planner can have. But it\u2019s still annoying!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12209\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wedding-guest-seating.jpg\" alt=\"Seating plans for wedding planners\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wedding-guest-seating.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wedding-guest-seating-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_When_clients_ask_you_for_a_discount_during_or_after_the_event\"><\/span>2.

If you\u2019re working for an agency, it can be easy to deflect the question by telling them that it\u2019s against company policy to modify prices so far down the road. It may be harder if you\u2019re your own boss, but you have to be firm! Know your worth, and don\u2019t let anyone undercut you. Your clients know your rates coming into it, and if they wanted a discount, they should have asked before signing the contract!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_When_your_clients_think_they_know_better\"><\/span>3. When your clients think they know better<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll encounter some clients who are incredibly enthusiastic and want to contribute as much as they can to the planning process. While they are an integral part of the planning process, sometimes they just don\u2019t have all the facts right to execute their dream. It can be frustrating if they tell <em>you <\/em>how to do <em>your <\/em>job with incorrect\/unsafe methods, but keep your cool! You may find yourself having to pull aside your clients and remind them that you hired them for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>If they\u2019ve got something wrong, correct them and then share some insider tips and tricks straight from the horse\u2019s mouth. You\u2019re a professional, so it\u2019s time to show it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12211\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Working-with-bridal-clients.jpg\" alt=\"Difficult bridal clients for wedding planners\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Working-with-bridal-clients.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Working-with-bridal-clients-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_When_your_vendors_are_late\"><\/span>4. When your vendors are late<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even worse is when your vendors flat out don\u2019t show up! If your vendors are hours late for the big day, it can be worrisome for both you and the client. You may be able to pull in some last-minute favors if you\u2019ve built up a strong vendors list throughout your career, but that may not always work out. If the food doesn\u2019t show up, order as much pizza for your guests; if the flowers don\u2019t, go out to buy pre-made bouquets to sub in; if the DJ doesn\u2019t show up, plug in an iPhone and blast your favorite Spotify playlist!<\/p>\n<p>Do whatever it takes, but after the big day is over and done with, you may want to revisit those contracts and see if you can get a refund for your clients.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_When_the_BrideGroomzilla_awakens\"><\/span>5. When the Bride\/Groomzilla awakens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even if they stay relatively calm during the initial planning stage of their wedding, people do and will get a bit anxious when the wedding day is just around the corner. Enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/01\/how-to-be-a-bridezilla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bridezilla <\/a>and\/or Groomzilla. Dealing with high-strung over-the-top people is tough in general, but if they\u2019re your client? Forget it! All kidding aside, seasoned event planners can expect to encounter a \u2013zilla at some point in their career.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to deal with them is to distract them! They likely have tunnel vision, so trying to logically explain to them that no, the lanterns on the ceiling of the event hall won\u2019t all spontaneously explode is impossible. Distract them with something easy to do, but make sure it seems convincingly important!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12210\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Bridal-gowns.jpg\" alt=\"Helping bride choose wedding gown as an event planner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Bridal-gowns.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Bridal-gowns-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_When_you_cant_please_everyone\"><\/span>6.

It\u2019s hard to be the bad guy sometimes, but you can\u2019t please everyone. Balancing the budget with the high-expectations of young couples is incredibly difficult since celebrity weddings and reality TV shows have blown everything out of control! It\u2019s true that it\u2019s a special day for the bride and groom, but compromises have to be made from time to time. Make sure that you make your clients happy that they chose you to coordinate their wedding plans\u2014if they\u2019re sweet, why not go that extra mile? There\u2019s nothing more satisfying than seeing a beaming bride at the altar.<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Ever had one too many things go wrong at a wedding?
