Wedding planners in the Var
Our directory of wedding planners in the Var is still being put together. In the meantime, the advice below will help you choose well.
Three levels of support
- Full planning: the wedding planner guides you from the venue search to the big day, selects the vendors and keeps track of the budget.
- Partial planning: you already have the venue and a few vendors; the planner fills the gaps and coordinates the rest.
- On-the-day coordination: the planner takes over your arrangements a few weeks beforehand and runs the day so that you can enjoy it.
Why it helps in the Var
Many couples who marry in the Var do not live there. A local wedding planner knows the venues, the vendors, the real distances between estates and hotels, and the constraints of the region: heat, wind, summer traffic, fire-prevention rules. They can visit venues on your behalf and present you with a shortlist that suits you.
How they are paid
Depending on the professional, they charge either a flat fee or a percentage of the wedding budget. Ask for a detailed quote, and check whether they receive commissions from the vendors they recommend.
Questions to ask
- How many weddings do you organise each year, and how many on the same weekend?
- Will you be there in person on the day, and until what time?
- Which venues and vendors in the Var do you usually work with?
- How do you keep track of the budget, and how often do we check in?
To shortlist venues together, use our directory and our complete guide.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a wedding planner and an on-the-day coordinator?
- A wedding planner organises all or part of the wedding over several months. A coordinator takes over your arrangements a few weeks before the date and runs the day itself.
- When should we book a wedding planner?
- As early as possible for full planning, ideally before choosing the venue: twelve to eighteen months ahead.
- Is a wedding planner useful if we live far from the Var?
- That is often when they are most useful: they visit venues, meet vendors and sort out the details on the ground for you.
