Wedding Planner fees can be set in a number of ways, according to the preference of the planner. A couple of options are flat fee; percentage. And, the level of service needed, based on the ceremony and all the accompanying details can also play a role in the fees. If a simplistic ceremony/reception for 150 people is the plan, the price can vary and be lower vs. an elaborate ceremony/reception for 150. Same number of people, different levels of planning and effort.

Wedding planners charge based on the city they are located in. In Chicago a wedding planner typically starts at $2,500
There are various ways they charge, I know some charge a fixed cost based on what is required to do and some do charge a % on the spendings on the wedding. This % again would vary , so I suggest you touch base with some planners who should give you the correct info.
Often the wedding planner is not invited to the rehearsal dinner, but if the couple want to invite the wedding planner they should also invite his or her's spouse.
A wedding designer doesn't plan a wedding, he designs it. The wedding planner has to plan every single details of the wedding : guests, outfits, ceremony, reception, food, drinks, music, photos, wedding cake... He's the wedding coordinator. Whereas the wedding designer is in charge of the decoration only. Also, some wedding planners take care of the decoration too. As I do. It can be less expensive if the wedding planner is in charge of everything. I hope it can help you. Johanna, Cherry Wedding : wedding planner Paris
There are a list of available places to go to be a wedding planner. There are colleges, and even online programs to be a certified wedding planner. It is a dying profession, however, and this questioner should be warned it has become harder to become one
Given that a wedding planner should have budgeting skills, project management skills, etc., I suggest a business management degree.
The wedding planner is the one that should tell you how many times you need to see him or her. It generally takes three meetings. Going the first time to talk over prices and deciding what you want the wedding planner to do; another meeting to go over everything the wedding planner has been asked to do and then a third time to go over it just to be sure everything is done by the wedding planner that you want done and to pay the bill.
A good independent wedding planner can plan 10 to 12 weddings a year, and charge a percentage of the overall budget for the wedding. A new wedding planner might charge £2,000 to £2,500. Generally you can write off the first year, and might make a little money in the second year. It takes three to five years to get established. It's a competitive industry so you have to stick at it.
The first question should be the budget of wedding
