		<description>Loved this article! Love the distinction between a planner and designer. Both necessary but rarely the same thing. I thrive on timelines, budgets, and details but leave design for the experts.</description>

		<description>A good planner is someone with experience, who envision what their client needs and makes it a reality! going above and beyond their expectations.  Someone who is key at managing time and being the best team player.  Remember, a wedding planner has to interact with the bride, the groom, the vendors and the guests, everyone takes on a different personality, therefore, a great wedding planner must be prepared to adapt to different personality types without being stressed.  So even during the storms he/she remains calm, and know how to respond under stress.  Some of my quickest and best decisions are made when I am extremely stressed.</description>

		<description>Thank you thank you for once again defining the role of planner vs. event designer!  I am an advocate of specializing and becoming an expert in my field and knowing my strengths as well as my weaknesses. I have experience on the planning side via my time with Colin Cowie Lifestyle. But my passion and talents are in event design. Knowing what is involved with being a planner first hand, helps me to pair with GREAT planners. I believe you need to be knowledgeable in all aspects of a chosen career so that you appreciate the people you bring together and their professional function to produce an event.  I too have taken on the planning and event design and neither is given the proper amount of attention in my opinion when I have placed myself in that position. When we have expert professionals at the helm the sailing is smoother! Collaborating with a no-drama team is key- thank you for bringing up this point as well- it&#039;s like poison!</description>

		<description>Hi Preston!! This is Irene Bezenyan , you worked on my daughter&#039;s wedding about 5 years ago. I very much agree with you on your views regarding planners. Our planner was a very pleasant person, but due to lack of my experience planing a Wedding, I found that he influenced me inappropriately towards the venders that I had worked with. Since the wedding I have gained experience working with and coordinating many events. I would like to thank you and your wonderful staff for magnificent wedding event you helped us plan. Hope to work with you in the future. Please let me know if you plan to conduct any training seminars in New York area, I would like to attend. Thank you again. Irene Bezenyan (wedding of 2005).</description>
