Wedding pricing question - 03-25-2010, 02:30 PM


Hi all,

When you give a price quote for a wedding do you specifically add in travel time with the client (from church to reception) or do you just factor that in to the overall cost?

I am doing more weddings now and have wondered how to manage my traveling time into a price quote.

Thanks!
rhonda

NO.

The more you itemize, the more the client will be inclined to say "can we leave this out to save money?" Price could include any 'unusual' travel or time between wedding and reception if needed.

If they book me, they have me for the whole day and I don't put a clock on it.

I include a certain amount of time, as they select. They can use it any way they want. If they ask me to take a break for awhile, the clock is still running, as they are occupying my day.
