Planning a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience – and one that often comes with more questions than answers. If you’re engaged and wondering what questions to ask your wedding planner, you are not alone.
At Socialite Event Planning, we live and breathe weddings. So we’re answering the top five questions we hear from couples all the time. And trust us, these answers will help you stress less and celebrate more.
What’s Our Budget and How Should We Allocate It?
This is the number one question couples ask – and we understand why. Budgets impact every detail of you day and is the biggest stressor during your planning process. Whether you’re working with $30,000 or $130,000, knowing how to break it down matters.
We start by helping you identify your top priorities. Love the idea of a jaw-dropping venue? Dreaming of a five-tier custom cake? Craving the live band that you fell in love with as a couple? We’ll structure your budget to reflect what matters most to you.

Every couple is different. That’s why we customize your budget allocation based on your must-haves, your guest count, and your vision. Our job is to help you make smart decisions, find hidden savings, and invest where it matters most.
Can You Recommend Vendors?
Absolutely Yes – and not just any vendors. We recommend the best vendors for you. There’s a big difference between a great vendor and the right one. We’ve built strong relationships with Central Florida’s top wedding pros, and we match you with ones who fit your vibe, your style, and your budget.
Looking for a photographer who captures candid moments? We know one. Need a DJ who mixes your favorite 90s tracks with your grandparents’ classics? We’ve got that, too. Want a floral designer who can pull off a modern boho look? Consider that done.
You don’t have time to sift through hundreds of options. That’s where we come in. Our curated recommendations save you time, reduce overwhelm, and give you confidence in your choices.
This is also one of the top questions to ask your wedding planner during your initial consultation. Who they recommend speaks volumes about their experience and industry relationships.
What Are We Forgetting?
So much planning goes into your big moments – but it’s the little ones that often get missed. Luckily, we’ve done this hundreds of times and we know what might slip through the cracks.
Here are some of the most often-forgotten details:
- Who will take your wedding gifts home after the reception?
- Do you need meals for your vendors?
- Have you factored gratuities into your final costs?
- Who brings an emergency kit with things like bobby pins, fashion tape, and tissues?
- What’s the backup plan if it rains?
We help you think through every detail – so nothing goes missed. And if anything pops up last minute? We’ve got you. It’s what we do.
How Do We Handle Family Dynamics?
Weddings bring families together – and sometimes, that means navigating some tricky relationships. Whether it’s divorced parents, opinionated relatives, or cultural traditions, we’re here to help you manage any dynamic with grace and ease.
From the very beginning, we guide you through how to set boundaries and communicate clearly. Need help deciding who sits where? Who gives speeches? Who walks down the aisle? We’ll create a plan that keeps things smooth and stress-free.
The best part? You’re never in it alone. We act as your buffer when needed, always prioritizing your wishes while honoring the family dynamics at play.
Can You Help Us Create a Timeline?
Creating a detailed, stress-free timeline is one of our favorite parts. Why? Because when the timeline flows, everything runs better.
We create a personalized wedding day timeline based on your unique plans. From the moment your hair and makeup begin to your final dance, we map it all out. Every vendor, every transition, every toast is handled with care.
And we don’t stop there. We coordinate that timeline with your venue, your vendors, and your VIPs. Everyone stays in the loop and knows what’s happening. And you? You enjoy the wedding of your dreams.
We even built in extra buffer time – because someone always runs a few minutes behind. Our timelines are realistic, flexible, and built to keep the day feeling relaxed, not rushed.
When thinking of questions to ask your wedding planner, don’t forget to dive into timeline details. A strong planner should be able to paint the full picture of your big day from sunrise to send-off.
