Other than word of mouth, I think awards & recognitions are good places to start. I live in Boston so I scour the “Best of Boston” lists that come out each year. Of course, this may mean the planners are a bit more expensive since they can get away with it.. but as long as your source is credible, you should be pointed towards the direction of some high quality planners/cordinators. Good luck!
Maybe you can ask some of your vendors that you like and trust for some suggestions. Always be sure to meet a planner in person and trust your gut - you have to like them and get along with them. then ask for at least 3 references and check up on them - past brides are usually very honest and helpful.
as far as adding value - i’ve been touting the benefits of having a planner since day one. they’re worth the piece of mind they give you on your big day so you can focus on having fun instead of worrying. Hope this helps!
thanks!!
