BETH’S TIP

Budgeting, when managed properly, is the opportunity to show your expertise and ultimately create trust with your clients. The way you handle the budget conversation starting with your very first call will allow couples to realize that you are not only a wedding planner with valuable insight and experience, but you are also an amazing project manager capable of guiding them through the biggest investment they are likely to make as a couple, outside of buying a home. If couples understand you have their back and are an ally from the onset, you will have already proven your worth, ultimately resulting in you commanding a higher rate for your services, implicit trust and happier clients.
