There are a few things you may want to decide before meeting with your wedding planner:

- Know your budget. This will give boundaries to your planner so they can better help you.
- Prepare your guest list. Knowing how many people will be in attendance will affect many decisions you make.
- Know your style. Do you have a theme for the wedding? A color scheme you would like to use? What kind of set up would you like for your ceremony and your reception? Are you looking for a traditional, modern or rustic aesthetic?
- Think about travel. How many guests will be traveling to Jackson Hole for the wedding or any other celebrations? Where will they be staying? How will they travel between venues?
Wedding planners can also help you with the small details, things you may not think of, such as, do you want a hashtag for your wedding party. Why? Because, it’s their job to know! So, don’t be afraid to ask for help and be ready to answer a few questions yourselves.
