I am getting married on August 31st 2008 and i need a wedding planner who lives somewhere around West Bloomfield, Michigan and i am having a really hard time because I don't live in Michigan (but i travel there constantly for my relatives and the relatives of my fiance) so i need somebody who can work with me out of the state and help me schedule appointments for when im in the state (its a huge wedding) I'm having a really hard time because wedding planners find my situation too difficult!
HELP!!

Go to theknot.com. Most wedding planners deal with brides who don't live there. That's the bread and butter of their industry. Anyone who is telling you that is "too difficult" for them is either 1-lying or 2-you have unrealistic expectations, like to have a wedding for 400 people on a budget of 3,000.
The knot will give you tons of suggestions in the area. Also, have you picked a church? If so, ask the church if they've worked with any wedding planners. Many will have a list of suggestions. My reception venue had a list of caterers they'd worked with in the past and when I went to get my bridesmaids dresses, that bridal salon had business cards for photographers, caterers, planners, etc.
Also try doing a yahoo search for wedding planners in Michigan. I think that book "here comes the guide" has one for each section of the country.
GL!

Really? Wow, some wedding planners would jump all over that situation, I would think. My husband and I didn't have a professional wedding planner, but his aunt, two cousins, and ourselfs helped plan the wedding. A wedding planner is a good idea bcuz it takes so much stress off the bride so she can worry about things that she needs to worry about. You don't have to hire a professional, it can be your best friend, or someone that has the same taste as you do. Good Luck!!
