4 Ways for Wedding Officiants to Work Well with the Wedding Planner

As a wedding officiant, I consider it a godsend when my couple has hired a wedding planner! Professional wedding planners are logistical ninjas and know how to run a tight ship. That's good news for us wedding officiants!
I've officiated many a wedding where there's no planner. That means it falls to the wedding officiant to do everything from arranging chairs to corralling the wedding party at the back.
Simply, wedding planners are us officiants' best friends on the wedding day.
That said, I've had a few challenging moments when working with wedding planners as well.
Starting out, I got blindsided a couple of times by very strong personalities. I stepped out of the way when I shouldn't have, or got ruffled by planners when a couple of simple strategies would have avoided conflict.
Thankfully, the days of trying to navigate wedding planners are behind me. I stick to these 4 tips when I go into a wedding working with a wedding planner.

Some wedding venues have an on sight wedding planner. They are wizzards at the job because they know the venue and how every moving part works. Great advice Mark. Thanks

Thank you Mark for sharing your Officiant experiences. Listening to your videos are really calming my introvert fears.

You have covered so many helpful topics! Do you have a video about talking with the couple and all of the things to cover with them?

[@alstaubin3699]

Another great video Thanks for all of them.

[@artieshell9205]

I’ve looked and can’t find … do you have a video for all of the key elements that need to be included in a script?

Hi Mark
I sent you a message through IG. I’m not sure if you got it or if I should send messages through another platform. Thanks
