What does it mean to be a Obvius Weddings Wedding Planner?
For us being a wedding planner is also be a wedding designer. We also consider that to be a wedding planner is more than just a job or profession, it is a life experience, an every day challenge, something that engages and enriches you so much that when everything goes well you forget all the hours you spent on a wedding, all the problems you've solved, all the rush and all the weekends you worked. A wedding planner according to Obvius Weddings is not only someone who merely gives useful addresses on subjects related to weddings (that's what we already have plenty of on the Internet) or someone who offers fixed wedding packages in which all are equal and couples are limited in choosing the package that best fits them. A professional wedding planner is someone who not only plans a wedding according to the preferences, needs and budget of the couple and makes sure that everything goes as planned, but is also someone that entirely designs your wedding to your specifications, so that the couple will have a unique and unrepeatable wedding.

In Spain a Wedding Planner is not very common, unlike in other countries where this service is essential...
Why hire a Wedding Planner for the wedding?
There are so many advantages, that it's hard to know where to start: from the first moment the couple will feel advised by professionals, without fear, without haste, with all the information clearly on the table, with the importance of being the ones who choose between the best and that they will always have a wedding planner at hand if there are any doubts, and at the wedding day, coordinating and supervising everything to be perfect. As a result, the couple will enjoy organization of their wedding from the beginning to the end. At least that’s how we work in Obvius Weddings and therefore our weddings are a guaranteed success.

However, being a wedding planner is something still relatively new in Spain, and there are many people who use this label without any event experience and offer the bride and groom very different services and prices (some even free) and can cause confusion to couples and which makes them decide organize their wedding themselves.We always recommend that the couple before hiring anyone, that they ensure their professionalism, the years they have worked and the celebrations and events they have done. If you seek information and hire a true professional wedding planner, it is clear that the amount to be spent on this service will not be an expense but an entire investment.

How do we work?
We advise, plan, manage, supervise and coordinate all aspects of the wedding, and always completely customized and tailored to couple. They are the ones who decide what aspects we have to manage for their wedding and based on their preferences we design the wedding they want. Our first steps are aimed to understand the couple’s desires and their style to be able to design a tailor made wedding and present them several fully customized proposals. In a second phase we plan everything that needs to be done and handle all the wedding details, presenting them with providers information, accompanying them on visits, organizing a day-to-day agenda and have an updated budget at all times. And in the third phase, we supervise and coordinate all aspects of the wedding day, wearing a comprehensive timing approved by all providers involved that day, so that everything will be perfect.

Our fees are a fixed amount and calculated once we have agreed with the couple which aspects of their wedding they want us to manage. In no event we shall invoice services other than our own, that is, the couple always pay directly to the contracted provider, hereby ensuring the transparency of prices and conditions.

What inspires us when organizing and designing a wedding?
When planning weddings as much depends on each wedding couple, their tastes and, of course, your budget. What matters is to capture what differentiates them from other, what they love or passion, or just what unites them. There are couples that are very clear about what they want or at know what they don't want, and in these cases it is much easier to design a wedding. There are ofcourse also other couples who want something different, but do not know what, and in these cases we invest more hours until we found what they like and we do not stop until we find it. We try to learn as much as possible about the couple's tastes and preferences, and from there, once the venue(s) have been chosen, we will also begin to design the rest of the wedding so it will be unique and unrepeatable. The bride and groom are the basis of all our inspiration for our wedding designs and we will introduce them to the suppliers that best fit what they want in order to gradually organize the wedding of their dreams.

What is our favorite part of a wedding process?
Our favorite part of the wedding process is the wedding day, when we see the happy faces of the couple, family and friends and see that everything went as planned. The wedding day, if the previous work is done properly, is the day we enjoy the most, because we see the result of a job well done. This comforts us, fills us and makes us more willing to organize other unique weddings.

What is our favorite part of the job?
In our work, although you might work many hours (also private hours) to make sure everything goes perfectly, what we like most is to realize the dream wedding at whatever it takes with each of the couples who come to us. Every wedding is a new professional challenge and a great effort, but the end result is defenitely worth it.

What do couples value the most on their wedding day?
The couples who hire us, most of all want that everything will be perfect and that they do not have to worry about anything. The assurance that there is a wedding planner, along with his or her team, who is contracted to coordinate and supervise everything and who also reminds them what to do at all times and who takes care of their guests, is something that is priceless. Knowing that their wedding is not like any other and that it will be special and unique, is also what is valued very much. That is why we always say that by hiring Obvius Weddings couples ensure themselves of exclusivity, uniqueness and the success of their wedding celebration.

Where couples should not spare expenses and what aspects should be included in the wedding budget?
We, as professionals recommend that the most important aspect where couples should invest more is in the venue for the banquet, a wedding celebrated in a venue that misses essential details, however beautiful it may be, can turn the wedding celebration into a failure or may result that guests will leave with a bad impression. The same goes for the restaurant and catering services. The couple has to be ensured not only about the quality of the dishes, but also and above all that staff and the service are of a 5 star quality. On the wedding day nothing may go wrong, because it is a once in a lifetime event.

Another aspect that is not highly valued, but which we give a lot of importance is the selection of the photographer. The photos on the wedding day are a memory that will last a lifetime and the couple can’t make a mistake in choosing the wrong photographer so that afterwards are not expected as they expected. They should ensure themselves that they are hiring an experienced wedding photographer and that it will be him or her, and no other, who will make the photos on their wedding and that it will be him or her who will make the album they wanted.

Of course, as Wedding Planners & Designers we consider that hiring the services of a serious and professional wedding planner is something that will ensure all the above and more, and therefore must be included in the budget of a wedding. It must not be seen as an expense, but as an investment, since the couple will save time, will have no concerns and gain the tranquillity and enjoyment from the beginning until the end. The couple will ensure themselves the success of their wedding and that is priceless.

Do you think that something should change, be renewed or improved regarding the way people look at weddings in Spain?
A wedding is something magical, unique and unrepeatable and therefore must be given the importance it has. And a wedding does not have to be very large or very expensive to obtain all of the above. Just knowing where to go in order to find what you want and check that what they are selling is true is enough. And from our experience we can tell you that despite the crisis, there are still highly qualified suppliers providing an excellent service who are committed to quality over quantity and who want to further professionalize the sector, as a wedding celebration is one of the most important days in the life of people.

Finally, what is the best advice from Obvius Weddings can give to couples who are facing their wedding day?
The best advice we can give is to arrive relaxed at your wedding day and enjoy your big day, whether you have hired the services of a Wedding Planner or not, and try to get the best of everything occurs. Couples should think of themselves , it is their big day. Do not worry about having to greeting all the guests, especially when it comes to big weddings. Many couples miss the appetizer or part of their dinner by wanting to talk to everyone or wanting to take pictures with everyone. We advise them to enjoy everything that happens that day from the start, and if you have many guests and you can not greet everyone, than your guests will understand that perfectly. And if you hire a good wedding photographer, you do not have to take pictures with each and every one, because the photographer and will be taking photos during the day at which everyone will be photographed.

If you have organized the wedding yourselves, all that is needed to be done for this day has already be done and therefore it is useless to worry at your wedding day. So our advice is to enjoy what you can and have as much fun as possible. And if you have hired a true professional Wedding Planner to organize everything, than you will not have to worry about anything and enjoy everything, because these professionals are the best guarantee for a successful wedding day.
