The two co-writers for The Wedding Planner got the idea for the movie after they saw an advertisement for a wedding planner class. As it turns, the pair were actually a couple when they began writing the film but ended up breaking up during the first rewrite, and despite their split, they worked on the movie together for years until it finally went into production. To help with research for the movie, they even interviewed real wedding planners at the Los Angeles Festival of Brides. “We had lunch with one wedding planner who told us that she didn’t even believe in marriage,” Falk explained.
