When you are planning your wedding day, there is so much to think about right? One of them is booking not just the suppliers that offer the elements of your day that you want, but booking the RIGHT suppliers for you. So how do you know who the right suppliers are?
Well, truthfully? Only you know the answer, but a couple of key things I would be encouraging you to think about are:
Have you met them in person? Or at least on the phone? Personally, we love to have a chat with any potential clients, even if that's a quick 10 minute chat, as I tend to get a good idea of whether we are right for someone, and vice versa, whether potential clients are right for us too!
Does their work fit with the vibe you are looking for on your wedding day? This is key, as you may absolutely love someone's work, but it's just not fitting the theme or the style that you want to create.
Do they have similar values to you? Are they passionate about similar things, in terms of weddings, life, hobbies? This is by no means a deal breaker, but the more you share in terms of common values and beliefs, and the more you think you'll get on with your suppliers, the easier the journey of working together will be!
When we work with clients I encourage them to look at my instagram page, as this gives some small insights into my life, and our life as a couple working in business together, what we enjoy, what we love/don't love, and a little snapshot into what our lives are like outside of business. Again, this isn't a necessity, as in reality if you like our work, then we're 90% of the way to knowing we'll be a good fit for you, but the remaining 10% is just as important, as this could give you an idea as to whether we'll work together well and if we'll be a good fit! If you're interested to go and have a nosy, here's the link to our instagram page!
But now, how about I share a little about what it's like to work with us and our booking process?
Step 1: Have a look on our website, instagram, youtube and Facebook pages, as you'll get a really good idea of what we do, and what our previous bookings have been like.
Step 2: If you like what you see, make an enquiry via the website, giving us a little bit of information as to what you're looking for, your date, your venue, and what sort of package takes your fancy.
Step 3: We'll send you a quote, and ask any additional questions if we need to in order to make this quote as accurate as possible, along with a deposit invoice and the terms of booking.
Step 4: Once we receive the deposit payment (usually 20%), we will send you a link to complete some additional information including confirming the date, venue, package, and any song choices you have made already.
Step 5: Around 8 weeks prior to your date, we'll ask for this form to be completed in full if it hasn't been done yet, just so we can get any tracks sources or learnt in plenty of time. You'll also get the opportunity to book a call with us too, but this is not essential, but nice to do if we haven't met in person! Here we'll generally ask you to put us in touch with your wedding planner at your venue, or the nominated person looking after things on the day, just so we can liaise with them on anything logistical.
Step 6: We'll check in a couple of weeks prior, to just make sure everything is on track, and that there are no changes.
Throughout this whole process, I have an open inbox for you if you have queries at all, but I will always let you lead the communication - it is totally your choice how much contact we have, as I never want to be a burden on anyone's time, especially in the run up to your wedding - so you lead the way with how much input you require from me, but I am here for you all the way!
And finally, you should know that we don't take ourselves too seriously, and will encourage you to do the same - it's way more fun to bring lightness and laughter! We are allergic to stress, so you won't see even a glimmer of this in the planning process! And lastly, we will pour our hearts into your wedding day, as we want this to be as memorable as possible for you, so we'll do everything we can to make that happen.
