Dear Bride & Groom,
Congratulations, by now you might have been engaged and looking forward to your big day to celebrate your love with your family and friends. You are planning your Day to be the Perfect, a Day that will be the start of a New Life as Mr & Mrs!!
We as your wedding planners and organisers know that this is your special day and above all, one that you should remember for your life.
So when you are deciding on which services you would like, often you will have memories of another wedding and you will also have many ideas that you have always dreamt of.
Some times your dreams go far ahead of your budget.
We, on the other hand, will be put to a great deal of work and cost in researching, phoning, emails and costing your "Wedding package" so we ask you to be fair with us.
When we "cost out" a wedding package, we take two things into account;
1) How much the total "spend" value is to us, the high the "spend", the higher is our commission.
2) What level of work and cost to us.
It is very well known in the world of business that suppliers pay "Registered Agents and Companies" commission.
Where as you, as a member of the general public would not receive and you would also still pay the going rate.
When we cost out our work load, we take into account the level of commissions we will receive and this goes towards our "planning and organisation" cost to you.
So, in a nut shell, the more services you have, the less you will pay towards our "dead cost" of planning and organising.
The less you have, the higher our cost will be.
For example, if we are not given the Venue or the Venue and the Wedding Breakfast, you will deny us a very large commission.
However, we are still the ones that have to work with the venue for all your other services.
We would therefore like to advise you when choosing the services you would like, do it once and do not change, particularly in the downward direction.
When we cost out your wedding, we will not cost each individual item to you, it will be based on the total services required from you.
If we did it any other way you would be the loosers, as all we would do it have a standard "handling charge" no matter what services you require, small or large.
We are here for advice but please remember only so much is free in this world and we do know that some people will "use us" and then dump us.
The first deposit secures the date for you, the second deposit is required to "hold" services and this is only done once you finally decide on your total services required and also at this point we issue our contract to you. We will not issue a contract until you finally decide on what services you require from us.
It is at this stage we will know exactly what deposits are required and therefore what deposit is required for you.
We look forward to being of services to you.
