A Wedding Planner's Worth

While sitting in the hair salon this past weekend, I overheard the conversation of two young ladies - one apparently getting married. While they talked, I took out a card, waited until the timing was right and politely interrupted. I gave the young lady my card and asked if she had a wedding planner. After saying no, she asked me how much did I charge. Before answering the question, I remembered a quote from Laura Molettiere of Cameo Event - "instead of letting a potential client ask how much your services cost, lead the conversation into how much your services are worth" - so I did just that. I explained what my services would be worth to her and why it is very important to hire a wedding planner. Even though I didn't directly answer her question, I do believe she was satisfied with my answer. When she left the salon, she told me she would definitely give me a call. I guess only time will tell.

Peace and Blessings,
Tracy
