Who’ s Who?
The Difference Between Wedding Planners and Travel Advisors
A whirlwind of decisions goes into planning a wedding— enlisting a professional can take some of the weight off your shoulders and unlock some serious peace of mind. But who should you call— a wedding planner or a travel advisor? You’ ll undoubtably want both in your corner, but fully understanding who does what can help you ensure your big day goes smoothly.
Wedding Planners: Masterminds Behind the Big Day
WHO THEY ARE: The person primarily responsible for helping you organize and plan all your wedding events. They’ re specialists who will not only coordinate with you, but also they will meet with you in person as soon as you arrive to finalize any last details before the wedding. With a destination wedding, your package will likely include an on-site wedding planner— one less thing to worry about!
WHAT THEY DO: Orchestrating all the details of the big day itself— if your wedding was music, they are the conductor. From floral arrangements and venue décor to managing timelines and coordinating with vendors, they are the one-person army responsible for everything unfolding seamlessly.

WHAT THEY DON’ T DO: If it’ s not you and your wedding day, it’ s not the wedding planner’ s business. Wedding planners can’ t help you arrange excursions, upgrade your itinerary or compare wedding packages from other resorts. They also won’ t field questions from your guests or book anything for your friends and family; they are strictly there to plan wedding events.
