How much percnt of the cost of a wedding does the wedding planner charge?

A wedding planner typically charges around 10% to 20% of the total wedding budget, depending on the scope of services and event size. For full-service planning, the percentage may be higher due to detailed coordination, vendor management, and design work. From our experience in the industry, many couples find this investment worthwhile, as it helps reduce stress, avoid costly mistakes, and ensures a smooth, professionally managed wedding day from start to finish.
