I use a planning form, and it's pretty much now 100% utilized via an online planning portal. I believe in planning, and getting as much details as possible being a formula for a successful event. I have all my clients fill out the form. The only exception is sometimes a planner get's all of the critical information needed from the bride and groom, and sends it over to me, but that is maybe 1 wedding every 2-3 years where a planner has taken control of basically everything, and the couple wants to be kinda hands off with the details, but that is rare
The planning form is discussed in detail with my clients on our finalization phone call.
I recently added a few more questions to my planning form
One thing I took away because it's a pointless question since almost nobody is doing it any more is "Dollar Dance?" Yes or No...Got rid of that question on there. I am also debating getting rid of Bouquet Toss and Garter Toss questions as well...These traditions have just declined so much over the years. I haven't done a Garter Toss since 2018 at this point, and only like 1 or two Bouquet Tosses a year has occurred over the last 5 years.
Do you use planning forms with your clients?
