Stewart: 2013, p. 19. Secondly, pressing the budget is one advantage of hiring a wedding organizer. When couples come to the wedding organizer with any
amount of budget, a wedding organizer will plan everything with that amount of budget as they also manage the couples’ expectations within that budget
Haywood: 2006, p. 21; Stewart: 2013, p. 19. Thirdly, when a wedding organizer can press the budget, it is caused by
the experiences in handling vendors. Furthermore, having experiences in handling vendors and other couples makes a wedding organizer a good planner by
following a clear timeline. According to Stewart 2013, “wedding planners have actual timeline that they follow in order to have all details be ready on time or
even way ahead of time, leaving all the last-minute changes behind “ p. 19.
Fourthly, when couples are in a rush in the middle of the preparation, a wedding organizer comes as a confidence booster. Stewart 2013 states that:
Couples will be more perfect at ease and more confident that their wedding will be perfect because they know that they have laid the
details of their wedding upon the hands of a professional. Indeed, there could be no better person who really knows the ins and outs of
wedding planning more than what the wedding organizer can do p. 19.
Presenting a calmness in the middle of rush by a wedding organizer can
make the clients more trustful to the wedding organizer they hired. Furthermore, having a confidence booster can also be a way to strengthen the chemistry
between the clients and the wedding organizers themselves. Related to the service that a wedding organizer provides, it needs several
skills to maintain the effectiveness of the work of the wedding organizer. According to Bricker 2011, the top five skills every wedding planner should

have are 1 outstanding communication, 2 appreciation for details, 3 ingenuity, 4 peace that passes all understanding, and 5 always expect the best
and plan for the worst p. 26. For the sake of communicating with clients, communication should be outstanding. Since the purpose of the wedding
organizer is to get dealt with the clients and also plan the wedding preparation together, the wedding organizer should communicate very well. As planning a
wedding requires lots of detail things, the wedding organizer should also be ready for handling every single thing. Remaining calm is also needed to avoid any
possible chaotic conditions. The last thing is related to the awareness and readiness of the wedding organizer. If plan A does not work, a wedding organizer
definitely has plan B to Z to do.
