You don\u2019t just have to take care of the logistics of the event. Depending on the couple, they might consult you about guest lists, wedding attire, and honeymoon destinations!<\/p>\n<p>Being personable will score you clients, but it\u2019s not your most important trait. Your best weapon for providing excellent client service? Your listening skills! Listen to exactly what they want because it\u2019s ultimately an event <em>for<\/em> them! Most of your clients will likely not have planned a wedding before. It seems easy: flowers, d\u00e9cor, music, officiant, food, venue. But when it comes down to the details, it can get complicated. By learning to listen, you can produce an event that will satisfy your client and make their vision a reality, while also minimizing their stress.<\/p>\n<p>Being present (mentally and physically) for your clients can be exhausting. But when you\u2019re expected to be a liaison between your clients, their families, and your vendors\u2026 you have no choice. However, you do have a choice when it comes to being professional, kind, and empathetic!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Emotional_empathy\"><\/span>Emotional empathy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wedding planning isn\u2019t like other business or community events. It\u2019s an intimate event where your goal isn\u2019t just finding a good DJ or the perfect table linens. You also have to build an atmosphere that makes the whole event feel meaningful. How should the guests feel? More importantly, how should the betrothed feel during the wedding and afterward at the reception?<\/p>\n<p>Whereas a company that throws a less-than-amazing corporate event has the chance to get back on their feet in future events, a bride and groom only have one chance. An aspiring wedding planner should learn how to be attuned to their client\u2019s needs. It can be difficult if the planner hasn\u2019t ever been married before. But an intimate study of building atmospheres and an experienced tutor will help you hone in on your emotional empathy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creativity\"><\/span>Creativity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pinterest is a fantastic hub for finding inspiration. But it can only take you so far. What if your clients are quirky or out-of-the-ordinary? It may be difficult to find fun d\u00e9cor and planning ideas online for a couple who defy the conventional. Not to mention if your clients are big dreamers with small budgets. To create the perfect wedding for your clients, you\u2019ll have to be creative.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/happy-couple-just-hitched.jpg\" alt=\"happy married bride and groom at wedding\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/happy-couple-just-hitched.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/happy-couple-just-hitched-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that creativity is born from the need to problem solve? <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2018\/02\/4-of-the-most-common-issues-youll-face-as-an-event-planner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Budget restrictions and last-minute issues<\/a> are the most common culprits. Creativity means thinking on your feet, but it also means being able to do research. Other wedding planners may have encountered the same problems. There\u2019s no harm in looking towards others to spark the imagination!<\/p>\n<p>Everyone wants a one-of-a-kind wedding. It won\u2019t just benefit your current clients when you\u2019re inventive. When you\u2019re building your portfolio and client base, your creativity needs to shine through. Great creativity means fantastic referrals from happy clients and outstandingly colorful photosets for your portfolio. Let your work speak for itself!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Attention_to_Detail\"><\/span>Attention to Detail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re setting a table, you know that there\u2019s a big difference between using a cloth napkin and a paper one. They both achieve the same final goalkeeping clean during meals\u2014but they have different characteristics. Can a disposable napkin really achieve the same luxurious feel? What if your clients demand it?<\/p>\n<p>You can just throw together a wedding all willy-nilly, but this won\u2019t lead to a thriving business. After all, there are some things that all events have in common. But, it\u2019s the smaller choices that sets some events apart from others. Details are what guests and your clients will remember! Attention to detail means going that extra mile. Clients are surprised and impressed when you give attention to details\u2014but really, it\u2019s all part of the job.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: being attuned to the nuances doesn\u2019t mean you should just be laser-focused. Keeping an eye on the bigger picture is just as important!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organization\"><\/span>Organization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Keeping to-do lists, calendars, and budget sheets for one client is hard enough. But you\u2019ll likely juggle a few weddings at a time. With so many duties going at the same time, how can you make sure you\u2019re always on the ball?<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, organization and planning go hand-in-hand! After all, many people use these two terms interchangeably. Being organized doesn\u2019t mean planning everything down to the last detail\u2014although this works for some people! It just means that you\u2019ve found a way to make sure that all your priorities get the attention they need. Amazing service means keeping up with timelines and tracking your spend. But it also means scheduling time to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/12\/4-goals-set-event-planning-business-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">take care of your business<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/professional-wedding-planner-organization-skills.jpg\" alt=\"professional wedding planner organization skills\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/professional-wedding-planner-organization-skills.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/professional-wedding-planner-organization-skills-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maintaining your website and social media, seeking out new contacts and vendors, and following up with inquirers are all important tasks. If you\u2019re not naturally organized, it\u2019s not the end of the world! The good news is, organization can be learned!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Negotiation\"><\/span>Negotiation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Negotiating on behalf of your clients is super important! Couples hire wedding planners to save them time and to take advantage of your professional expertise. The next most common reason? Professional wedding planners have incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/09\/clients-hire-wedding-planner-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">negotiating power<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Florists, caterers, decorators, entertainment\u2014these are just some of the vendors you\u2019ll work with to plan a wedding. We mentioned the importance of client care\u2014this lends to your vendors too! Building professional relationships takes time. But when you\u2019ve built a reliable and dedicated list of vendors, your business (and theirs) will grow! Being diplomatic means arguing for your client&#8217;s interests while making sure your vendors are satisfied, too! A good wedding planning course taught by an experienced planner should give you the inside scoop on effective negotiation tactics.<\/p>\n<p>Are there any other must-have skills we missed?<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Growing your business shouldn\u2019t be a one-person job!
