🚨 Wedding Planner Red Flags to Watch For! 🚨
I’m diving into the Top 3 Red Flags to look out for when choosing your wedding planner! 📝✨
💬 1. Lack of Communication
Slow responses? Vague answers? Big no-no. Communication is KEY for a stress-free planning journey. 📨
📋 2. Over Promising Without Backup Plans
No one likes surprises on their big day (unless it’s cake!). Make sure your planner has contingency plans ready. At Heirloom, we’ve got you covered with a backup team! 🎂🎯
🤝 3. Unclear Contracts
Your contract should be crystal clear. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or address concerns—your comfort is our priority! ✅
💡 Pro Tip: Trust your gut! If something feels off, keep searching until you find a planner you vibe with. Whether it’s us or someone else, we’re here to help you find your perfect match! 💕
