Turnkey Wedding or Custom Wedding?


We can read on all the wedding sites, reception and wedding planner that we are offered turnkey weddings and tailor-made weddings or even tailor-made weddings!
Well, I confess that at the beginning, I did not understand too much, because for me a wedding "turnkey" is not a wedding "made to measure”.
Let's do a little housekeeping on this subject and let me give you explanations.

Initially, what is a turnkey marriage?

According to my research, a turnkey project is a project that, once realized, is immediately ready for use. In the site Weddingaaha.com , to make us understand this expression, he compares this with a mechanic who gives his buyer customer, the key to his beautiful new car, freshly delivered and ready to use.
I've also seen wedding organizations, party venues and even DJs, yes DJs, offering brides and grooms a turnkey wedding. In general, when it is presented like that, they offer you professionals with whom they are used to working, with whom they have concluded certain arrangements and negotiated advantageous prices. Often, they are providers that will be taxed.

Is a turnkey wedding also a custom wedding?

Yes, that is my question! In fact, you, as future brides and grooms, really need to ask a lot of questions to the provider in front of you who offers you a turnkey wedding, because there are two options:

The first is a marriage with imposed providers, a kind of pack if I can say. So, in this case, for me, it's not a custom wedding, but just a turnkey wedding actually!

The second option is a wedding where you have the choice on the providers, they are not taxed and there, we can afford to say: a wedding turnkey custom. And again, this expression is still to take with tweezers, because a real custom wedding can have differences anyway! Why? 

What is a real custom wedding?

A real custom wedding is a wedding where you have a choice on everything, no imposed providers. So, the wedding planner will obviously offer you at first professional wedding partners with whom she used to work and with whom she has already negotiated prices, it's normal, but ...

If you really want a tailor-made wedding, it may well be that you decide to appeal to other providers, which the wedding planner has not yet met (for example, if you choose a foreign wedding destination #destination wedding or out of the near area where the agency of the chosen wedding planner is installed) and it will then, at that moment, go to meet these new professionals and negotiate the best service for you. That's also the job of a wedding planner. If you are having a turnkey wedding with a DJ for example or a venue, do not expect them to look for professionals and negotiate prices! You will have to be content with what they have available.

In summary, your future bride to be careful, ask the right questions and especially to define beforehand with darling what you want for your wedding. You should also know that if you opt for a turnkey wedding proposed by a professional other than a wedding planner, you will not benefit from the same support! A wedding planner is with you, by your side for each step of the organization, whether for the choice of your dress, your hairstyle, your announcements, etc.
Do not expect this kind of service from another provider than a wedding planner!

As a wedding planner in Chennai, I can offer you a tailor-made wedding, even if for me each wedding should be tailor-made in every case, personalized to the maximum and not look like the wedding of your cousin of the year last (although he was great )! I leave you carte blanche, you have the choice on everything and it is normal. Nothing will be imposed on you.

Let's say that the "turnkey" for me and certainly for my colleagues wedding planner, will be more to take in the direction: do not worry about anything, take full advantage of your big day, everything will be as you dreamed and even better.

You will only have to let yourself slide on the waves of your love throughout the day and concretize your union.
Finally, the choice is in the hands of your fiancé and you and especially be vigilant.
