What should a bride look for when hiring a consultant?
In addition to phoning consultants to set up appointments, Markel suggests that brides “go to bridal shows, where they can meet with some consultants one-on-one.” The first steps in hiring a consultant are the same as they are in hiring any other wedding professional—you must first find someone who is available on your wedding date and who falls within your price range. After these criteria are met, the next important step is hiring someone you feel comfortable with. Your perfect consultant is one who will seem to know what you want before you tell her.
