Wedding Planning is supposed to be so much fun but it can also be a bit nerve-wracking, especially when it comes to spotting scams. We’ve all heard the horror stories, and sadly I am seeing more and more: dodgy suppliers disappearing with deposits, low-quality suppliers charging premium prices, deals that look too good to be true or promises that simply don’t deliver. That’s where working with a trusted wedding planner (like me, Keshira Creative Events!) can make all the difference. Let’s talk about how we can navigate the planning process safely and stress-free.
Why Work with a Trusted Planner?
As a wedding planner based on the South Coast, I’ve spent years building a network of reliable, professional, and downright fabulous suppliers. Whether you’re after a venue, florists, caterers, or hair and makeup pros, I only recommend people I know and trust—no shady characters here! When you work with me, I will only recommend those who have been vetted and tested. I’ve done the legwork so you don’t have to.
Tips to Avoid Wedding Scams
1️⃣ Do Your Homework: If you’re booking on your own, always check reviews, testimonials, and portfolios. If something feels off, trust your gut.
2️⃣ Ask Questions: A reputable supplier will be happy to answer all your questions. If they’re vague or pushy, it’s a red flag. All good suppliers should offer a free consultation before you commit.
3️⃣ Get Everything in Writing: Contracts are your best friend. Ensure every detail—timelines, costs, and services—is clearly spelled out.
4️⃣ Check Payment Methods: Avoid paying in cash. Use secure methods like bank transfers or credit cards for added protection.
5️⃣ Sense-Check Your Decisions: Sometimes you just need a second opinion. That’s where I come in! Book a free 30-minute consultation with me, and I’ll help you spot any potential red flags before you commit to anything.
