Make the Right Choice for Your Big Day

Your wedding is one of the most significant milestones in your life, and choosing the right wedding planner can make all the difference. Whether you’re envisioning a dreamy destination wedding in Goa or an elegant affair in the heart of Mumbai, the planner you choose will shape every moment. But how do you find the one who truly understands your vision?

At The Wedding Trunk, we believe that a great wedding starts with the right questions. To help you find a planner who aligns with your style, needs, and expectations, here are 10 essential questions to ask before making your decision.

1. What Services Do You Offer?

Before anything else, understand what your potential wedding planner includes in their package. Are they offering full-service planning, or just coordination? Do they handle destination logistics?

At The Wedding Trunk, we offer comprehensive services including:

  • Client consultations & budget planning
  • Destination and venue selection
  • Vendor sourcing and management
  • RSVP and guest coordination
  • Hospitality & hotel bookings

This all-encompassing approach ensures you don’t have to juggle multiple contacts—we manage it all.

2. Have You Planned Weddings Similar to Ours?

Every wedding is unique, but experience in similar styles, scales, or cultures can make a huge difference.

Ask for:

  • Portfolios or galleries of past work
  • Case studies or testimonials
  • Specific examples of weddings that reflect your vision

Our portfolio at The Wedding Trunk spans everything from intimate palace weddings to lavish international celebrations. We specialize in creating bespoke experiences tailored to your story.

3. How Do You Approach Budget Planning?

Your wedding planner should help maximize your budget—not overspend it.

Ask how they:

  • Allocate funds across vendors and categories
  • Manage unexpected costs
  • Keep track of spending

We begin each journey with a transparent budget planning session. Our Mumbai-based team helps clients stay financially comfortable while still delivering a luxury experience.

4. How Do You Handle Vendor Selection?

From makeup artists to musicians, a great wedding planner should connect you with reliable vendors who match your style and standards.

Ask:

  • Do you have preferred vendors?
  • Are there any exclusivity contracts?
  • Will we have final say on vendor choices?

At The Wedding Trunk, we handpick vendors based on your vision, not just partnerships. We believe in creative freedom and top-tier service for every client.

5. Will You Be On-Site During the Wedding?

Some planners delegate the event-day management. Be sure you know who will be running the show.

Clarify:

  • Will you (or your lead planner) be there throughout?
  • How many team members will be present?
  • Do you charge extra for on-site coordination?

We guarantee on-ground presence by our expert team, ensuring every moment is meticulously executed—so you can focus on enjoying your big day.

6. How Do You Handle Guest Hospitality?

In Indian weddings especially, guest experience is everything. Your planner should be as focused on your guests’ comfort as they are on décor.

Ask:

  • Do you manage travel and accommodation?
  • How do you handle special guest requests or emergencies?
  • Do you offer welcome kits or personalized touches?

At The Wedding Trunk, we specialize in warm, thoughtful hospitality—managing everything from hotel check-ins to personalized itineraries.

7. Can You Help with Destination Weddings?

Planning a wedding outside your hometown adds a layer of complexity that only an experienced planner can navigate.

Ask:

  • Have you planned weddings in this destination before?
  • How do you coordinate vendors and logistics remotely?
  • Do you offer local recommendations?

With successful weddings across Goa, Jaipur, Udaipur, and tier 2 cities like Indore, we’re destination wedding experts—bringing both style and seamless execution to every location.

8. How Do You Manage Timelines?

Planning a wedding involves hundreds of moving parts. Your wedding planner must be a pro at organization.

Ask:

  • Will we get a detailed planning timeline?
  • How often do we meet or check in?
  • How are deadlines tracked?

Our clients love our structured process—clear timelines, proactive communication, and consistent updates—so you’re always in control, without the stress.

9. What Level of Customization Can We Expect?

A cookie-cutter approach simply won’t do. Ask how deeply the planner dives into personalization.

Ask:

  • Will you help us develop a unique theme or concept?
  • Can we personalize our rituals, décor, or entertainment?
  • Do you help with custom stationery or branding?

At The Wedding Trunk, personalization is at the heart of everything we do—from designing a wedding logo to crafting culturally meaningful moments.

10. What Sets You Apart from Other Wedding Planners?

Finally, give the planner a chance to share their values and strengths. What makes them truly different?

Look for:

  • Unique service offerings
  • Approach to problem-solving
  • Passion and professionalism

We pride ourselves on being more than planners—we’re storytellers, designers, and partners in your journey. With luxury at the core and love in every detail, we turn your vision into something extraordinary.
