Hi lovely brides to be!
I am brand new to this forum and slightly overwhelmed by everything... In negotiations with H2B (I'm learning the acronyms!! 
about wedding format and location: we live in Melbourne, Australia, and he is English and I'm half English, so we're looking at a wedding in Devon (near my Aunty, who lives in Exeter) in June/July 2017. It's all quite hard and stressful given the geographic ties.
I'm looking at getting a wedding planner to help out - my job is pretty full on, and that, combined with the distance makes it a bit of a must have, I think.
One wedding planner gave us a quote of 4K pounds, which is probably too much for our budget... And then I have come across another group in the Devon area who charge nothing at all, and they use the trade discounts to make their profit. Meaning I guess, that we wouldn't benefit from any discounts, but we get the benefit of a planner for free.
Has anyone had a wedding planner with this fee structure before? Apparently it is quite uncommon in the UK... Interested in pros / cons / questions I should ask them.
Thank you in advance!
