Do you think if you hire a wedding planner they should come in & change your ideas or your theme ?

On "whose wedding is it anyway"(T.V.show) wedding planner Samantha Goldberg is hired for a couple named Tim & Brooke they have very strange or different ideas for there wedding. Samantha goes in & changes all of it to how she likes it almost snubbing there ideas. I just feel it's very rude of her. I just wanted to get some other thoughts on the matter. Thanks!

I watch all those wedding shows as well. Honestly, I always prefer what the coordinator does over what the couple originally wanted. And most of the time, the couple is happy. I'm don't think I've seen the episode you're talking about, but if you hire a full-time planner, you must know that you're paying for their vision and expertise! They usually know best, and from what I've seen on those shows, they try their hardest to make sure the wedding is still a reflection of the couple's style and personality, but better.

If the couple is absolutely againt something, the coordinator should know when to back off.

no they shouldn't - but that's t.v.
in real life they are there to assist you bring your wedding dreams to life and keep you on budget. they can suggest, and in a dire emergency they can help correct errors without you there, but no they do not have the right to change your plans, your dreams.

No & they should be dismissed.
Unless the couples' ideas are against the law, put people in danger or are morally wrong.

That is definitely rude. A wedding planner is meant to turn YOUR dream wedding into a reality & hopefully make it easier & more joyful in the process. He or she is meant to bring only their connections & expertise to the planning, but not their own sense of style. The wedding, afterall, should be a reflection of the bride & groom's style, not the planner!
