You must check if the person offering to be your wedding organizer will be available in town till the date of your wedding. For eg.

Locally Acquainted
A lot of logistics in a wedding includes meeting and inspecting local vendors for their preparations and delivery. Make sure to hire a wedding organizer who is well versed with the local language and knows the vendor destinations and localities. Picking up from the previous example – A wedding organizer in Kolkata is expected to be comfortable interacting in Bengali and must know very well the areas and addresses of the vendors working on wedding invites. She must be well acquainted with the locality of the wholesale florist market too. This will help save a lot of time and also money.
Have a Lot of Common Sense
A wedding planner may not be expected to give in their inputs on designs or tak independent calls on changes in the given plan. Yet, she must have that innate intelligence to figure out obvious anomalies in the plan and execution and point them out well ahead of time. This can help save monetary losses as well as any potential inconvenience / embarrassment in front of wedding guests.
