Weddings Are Formal Events…not fast food


Weddings Are Formal Events…not fast food




Weddings are unique formal events which in most cases happens
once in a lifetime.
Brides want to be pampered, treated like a princess and look
their very best. Grooms like to look stylish, enjoy great food
along with choice cocktails, and may even show off a little by
arriving in a stretch limousine.

Why not? This is your day to indulge, but will you receive the best
quality service if you pay the lowest price?

On your wedding day, you should expect great service not hope
for it. However you’re taking a big gamble by using low price as the
main consideration for hiring your wedding vendors.
If you desire the best service for your wedding, plan to pay more.

Quality costs more. You expect to pay more for quality food and
service at Ruth’s Chris as opposed to McDonald’s.

Brides & Groom’s desire to impress their guests therefore they
wouldn’t think to serve fast food , or buy a wedding dress from
Target or a tux from Goodwill.



A personalized service is not commodity!

You can look for the cheapest possible source of potato chips at a
supermarket because you know that regardless of price, two bags
of the identical brand chips will taste the same.

Between geographical markets, there are definitely variations in
pricing that result from differences in the cost of living and overall
affluence.
Within a market there are starting points in each vendor category
that are established based on experience, talent level, and quality
of service.
These are natural variances and are good for any market.

If you are presumably comparing apples to apples, there should not be
a huge disparity in price.
Meeting with vendors based on a low quoted prices may seem redundant.
Beware of vendors who talk more about their prices then their service.
I got such a great price!

But will you get the kind of professional quality service you expect?
You may feel good now, but on your wedding day you may feel uneasy
knowing you hired your wedding vendors based on the cheapest price,
rather than the quality of service.

Professionals charge professional fees, and service providers will charge
what they feel their service is worth.



Just For Fun…

If your a bride to be, slip on a Vera Wang wedding dress, if your a Groom
to be, try on an Armani tux then see how it makes you feel wearing it.
It could be the same feeling you get when your guests come up to you
at the end of your wedding night to tell you that your wedding was the
best they’ve ever attended.

Consider that if you are paying less than $1,000 for your Disc Jockey,
you are taking a chance on a Disc Jockey who is most likely not a truly
skilled professional and may very well sell your reception to an even less
qualified Disc Jockey that you will meet for the very first time at your
reception or special event.

Good luck and choose wisely.
