6 Indian Wedding Planners in Maryland to Orchestrate Your Dream Wedding

Planning a wedding can feel incredibly stressful at times. But you don't have to go through the journey alone. Working with an experienced Indian wedding planner in Maryland makes it far easier to bring your vision to life.

If you're wondering why hire a wedding planner when you can probably pull off everything with a little help from your loved ones, think again. A solid wedding planner helps you in different ways––from meticulously planning pre-wedding ceremonies while respecting Indian wedding traditions to offering helpful Indian wedding planning tips and assisting as you attempt to find an Indian wedding venue that aligns with your vision.

That said, there are all types of wedding planners out there to help you plan your dream wedding while effortlessly tackling their wedding planner duties. In case you're unsure and don't know what questions to ask wedding planners during discovery calls and initial consultations, consider sticking to the basics and asking them about their portfolio, availability, working style and anything else that is important to consider. For example, if you need a planner who can easily communicate with all the vendors, hiring a bilingual wedding planner may be the right choice.

• What Couples Love: Couples praise this vendor for being detail-oriented, responsive and professional. One reviewer wrote, "She made everything so easy, helped me pick out every vendor and helped plan not only one wedding but two weddings for us (Indian and American). She answered every email in less than an hour and texted me back almost immediately every time. She was extremely hands-on when it came to communicating with vendors. Which I think is one of the most daunting parts about the process. She reviewed and negotiated contracts for me and helped us score a deal on almost every single vendor we booked."
