You\u2019ll still need to make many of the same arrangements, like hiring a photographer, finding a location, handling catering, and doing the day-of coordination. So you can take a breather because there will be a lot of familiar elements that you\u2019ve already mastered through experience and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/online-event-courses\/wedding-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">training<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Start off by getting to know your client and their theme more intimately. This means using your communication skills to figure out how far they actually want to go with their offbeat elements. Some people want a full-on <em>Game of Thrones-<\/em>style wedding with guests in costumes and book quotes in their vows. Others want a more subtler touch, requesting guests show up with just quirky shoes and having themed table centerpieces. You need to know what they are really looking for so you don\u2019t under or overdo it.<\/p>\n<p>Another time you\u2019ll use your current knowledge is when discussing the budget. Just because they want all the bells and whistles doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that it can be done. If they don\u2019t have the money to spend on floor-to-ceiling decor, focus on the elements they want the most. It\u2019s always better to have a more subtle and well-done theme than to end up with lots of cheap and tacky elements.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, use your creativity! We\u2019re sure you\u2019ve got this in spades. From coming up with creative solutions for last minute problems to having some handy<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/03\/diy-spring-decor-budget-event-planner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> DIY decor<\/a> up your sleeve, wedding planners are full of creativity. Use it! Offbeat clients offer a great opportunity to try out things that other clients might be unwilling to consider.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14461\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/carousel-for-wedding-entertainment.jpg\" alt=\"carousel for wedding entertainment\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/carousel-for-wedding-entertainment.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/carousel-for-wedding-entertainment-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_Your_Base\"><\/span>Build Your Base<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll likely have a lot of vendors that you can use no matter who the client is, such as a photographer or caterer. But you should try to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2018\/05\/5-offbeat-vendors-your-event-planning-courses-prepare-you-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diversify your vendor network<\/a> to properly service your new clients and their needs. This might mean looking for a cake decorator who specializes in special effects wedding cakes or forming a relationship with different venue owners to add unusual locations to your portfolio. It\u2019s all about building on what you currently have. You&#8217;ll be able to really meet client expectations, and not worry about making your preferred vendors uncomfortable, too. Not all cake decorators want to move away from making their favorite gum paste flowers to attempt tiny chocolate bride and groom sculptures for a Colosseum-shaped cake.<\/p>\n<p>Entertainment is also a great area to bring in some more offbeat business. Stand out from your competition by creating ties to some more diverse entertainment options such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Petting zoos<\/li>\n<li>Bouncy castles<\/li>\n<li>Hypnotists<\/li>\n<li>Circus performers<\/li>\n<li>Dance troupes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_Out_Slowly\"><\/span>Start Out Slowly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling nervous, try something smaller, like a birthday party for a friend or an eccentric bachelorette party. You can even suggest some unusual touches to your regular clients. This way, you can start adding photos to your portfolio that will appeal to offbeat clients. For example, experimenting with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Color schemes<\/li>\n<li>Decorations<\/li>\n<li>Menus<\/li>\n<li>Themed photo shoots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another option is to start off with a lower budget, more subtle wedding. You won\u2019t need to figure out how to orchestrate having your client parachute down to the altar. Instead, you can just focus on become a wedding planner that makes the best steampunk bouquets your budget can buy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to start off with themes or concepts that you\u2019re a little more familiar with. It takes more thinking, more phone calls, and more creative solutions to pull off an out-of-the-box wedding, so give yourself a chance to get into this new rhythm!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14462\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/beatle-juice-wedding.jpg\" alt=\"become a wedding planner beatle juice wedding\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/beatle-juice-wedding.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/beatle-juice-wedding-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Advice\"><\/span>Get Advice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Prepare yourself as best as you can! There are a ton of resources you can check out before you dive into offbeat event planning. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/09\/5-professionals-event-planners-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Networking is a big one<\/a>. Go out to planning conventions, workshops, and trade shows. Meet your vendor\u2019s vendors. Ask people you trust for referrals. It\u2019s always a good idea to ask for references when you\u2019re finding an expert in an unusual field. You want to make sure that you\u2019re achieving real networking results and not just a \u201cyes-man\u201d who can\u2019t deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Go online! I\u2019m sure we don\u2019t have to mention this, but the internet is a vast, unending land of help! You can look at websites, blogs, and social networks \u2013 for example, Pinterest \u2013 to get inspiration and advice on niche wedding elements.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, attend any offbeat wedding you can! If your friend\/florist\/whoever you know has a plus one for a Shrek-themed wedding, ask if you can join! Firsthand experience is a great way to learn about different elements that can go wrong, so you\u2019ll know what to do when it\u2019s your turn. Say it with us: attend, attend, attend!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trust_Your_Client\"><\/span>Trust Your Client<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019re the expert at weddings, but they\u2019re the expert at their theme. Or at least they are for now. If you\u2019re in doubt, follow up with your client to ensure you\u2019re on the right track. This doesn\u2019t mean calling them every time an idea pops into your head. But when you have a clear vision of something you think they\u2019re going to love, it doesn\u2019t hurt to check in before you get too far along.
