They are also called “ Bridal Consultant ” in the United States or “ Wedding Consultant” in England. Behind all these terms hides the same function. The wedding planner, as the name suggests, is a wedding planner . He organizes your wedding in the same way as a travel planner would for your vacation or an architect for the construction of your house. The wedding planner offers a support and coaching service for the organization of your day, coordinates all the steps and calls on the right craftsmen and service providers. He searches for the place and the caterer, takes care of the decoration and the layout of the place, the animation and the photography and helps you to find and organize the relations with the other providers (designers of dresses, jewelers ). The day before and on D-Day, he is there to set up the room, manage logistics and welcome guests.
In the United States, it is estimated that more than 80% of American weddings are organized by wedding planners . It's crazy, right? In France, bride and groom are still a little shy, about 10% of them use their services for their wedding. The profession has now taken a step forward and thanks to word of mouth, wedding planners are gradually becoming part of people's minds. When we take a look at our past, we realize that wedding planners have ancestors in the history of France. Are you ready for the little culture minute?
You have to go back to the 16th century to discover a profession similar to that of today's wedding planners . In 1585, Henri III created the office of Grand Masters of Ceremonies, whose purpose was to take care of the organization of all the public ceremonies of the crown. Their scope of expertise ranges from royal feasts to royal family weddings. For example, they take care of the logistics, the coordination of the workers, the budget and the planning of the event. A century later, the profession developed with the appearance of the administration of Menus-Plaisir du Roi, responsible for the ceremonies of the court. Today, you no longer need to be a king to have your wedding organized by a professional, everyone can call on a wedding planner .
