I am thinking about having a wedding planner for our wedding in Octobor 2006. We are in the Bay Area.

Our expectation is a wedding with a Chinese theme and it should be simple, classy, and elegant.

Does anyone here have experiences with wedding planner?Could you share some tips and experiences, such as how to choose a wedding planner, how to negotiate the price, etc? If you can refer me a wedding planner in bay area that will be great!

Many Thanks!

That's a good tip! Well, I would love to start my wedding gown selection process early!

I prefer to have a wedding planner with experiences of classy chinese wedding... So shall I go to a wedding gown store opened by chinese people? Are there any in the bay area? Other suggestions?
