Wedding planner billing methods can vary greatly as with a wedding planner’s fee structure. You may either be invoiced directly with the individual supplier that you select with the help of your wedding planner, or alternatively all billing may pass through the wedding planner. On one hand some believe that it is more practical to pay only one bill to one company (the wedding planner) or on the other hand others feel more comfortable settling with the supplier directly so that costs are controlled more easily.
In the case that a wedding planner charges a management fee, for time spent or earns their fee through commissions, your wedding planner could give you the option either to pay suppliers directly or to pay one bill to the wedding planner who will in turn settle with suppliers.
If the wedding planner is using the ‘mark-up’ method, it is highly unlikely that they will give you the option to pay suppliers directly.
