Ideally, planning a wedding is all about the couple, but sometimes there are complex family dynamics that have to be addressed in order to make it a happy and stress-free process for the couple. This question touches on the 'therapist' side of being a Wedding Planner, so you'll need to be clear with yourself and the couple on how much you will be able to support them in this. You might be able to mediate and provide tips and tools for them to manage these relationships, or you might refer them to an external professional.

"Many couples encounter some sort of challenge with a difference of opinion or complication between families - this is very common. I often work with the couple to identify what is important to them as a couple versus what they are inheriting from family expectations. If they are different between the couple and the families, then that is one thing. If they are different between the families, then I work with them to identify a compromise embodying the two. If the family dynamics are more nuanced and complex, then I might seek a third party to support them in navigating their challenges. That way, we can make our meetings and our relationship about the couple and the wedding, not about challenges in the family."
