How to Choose a Wedding Planner (That Feels Like Your Wedding Soulmate)

Because spreadsheets and champagne can go hand in hand.

Let’s get one thing straight—planning a wedding is no small feat. It’s not just booking a venue and picking pretty flowers. It’s orchestrating an entire day (or weekend, or week…) that represents you—your style, your story, and your love.

So, if you’re thinking about hiring a wedding planner… you’re already doing the smart thing. But how do you choose the right one? The one who gets your Pinterest board, your panic-texts, and your dream of a candlelit tablescape inspired by a Sicilian summer?

Welcome to the MFPC weddings guide to finding your wedding-planning soulmate.

1. Find someone who gets your vision—even when it’s a vibe, not a sentence.

If your Pinterest board is more mood than detail, and your brief sounds like “moody but romantic, with lemons, velvet, maybe butterflies?”—you need someone who thrives in that language. At Weddings by MFPC, we’re fluent in dream-to-reality translations.

2. We’re not just wedding planners—we’re producers of experience.

MFPC weddings is powered by Morgan Ferguson Production Co., a full-service creative agency with years of experience curating high-end, large-scale events for global brands and iconic artists. From immersive activations to custom-built installations, we know how to create moments that are beautiful, bold, and unapologetically you. We bring that same expertise and energy to your wedding—elevating it from “well planned” to “expertly crafted.”

3. Ask how they make you feel.

This might sound woo-woo, but go with me: You’re trusting someone with your wedding. If their vibe is “clipboard and chaos,” and yours is “calm and curated,” it’s a no.
The right planner should make you feel seen, heard, and stylishly safe. Like, “I can breathe again, she’s got this” energy.

4. Check their planning style (and access level).

Some planners offer set hours, limited calls, and a “we’ll check in every other Tuesday” energy. We offer unlimited access. Why? Because weddings don’t only happen from 9 to 5—and neither do your ideas, nerves, or vendor crises. We’re here when you need us, from your first idea to your final farewell.

5. Look at the details. Literally.

Anyone can book a DJ. A great planner knows the DJ needs a backup generator and that the cocktail hour playlist should match the sunset. At MFPC weddings, we sweat the small stuff. Why? Because it’s never just small stuff.

6. Trust your gut (and your group chat).

You’ll be in close contact with your planner for months—sometimes years. If you feel a spark, if you laugh together, if you leave a meeting with happy butterflies and a sense of relief? That’s your sign.

Choosing a wedding planner is part heart, part logistics, and all about trust. You deserve someone who’s as obsessed with the details as they are with your story.

At MFPC weddings, we’re not just wedding planners—we’re creative producers of unforgettable moments. Backed by years of high-end event experience, we bring bold concepts, beautiful detail, and effortless style to every wedding we touch. Let’s turn your vision into something magical, meaningful, and totally you.
