Wedding cost guide
What wedding covers
A quote for Wedding normally bundles the venue or supplier's time, equipment and travel. The way a provider splits those pieces is the main reason two quotes for the same Wedding look different.
Because two providers can describe the same Wedding in different ways, ask each one to break the total into the same line items before you compare them.
Choosing a provider for wedding
Check any required licence with the regulator, ask to see current insurance, and get the full scope in writing before you commit.
Ask for two recent local jobs you can call, and read the written scope for what it leaves out as carefully as what it includes.
The things that move a wedding price
How many people attend, the venue, the season and the extras you choose.
Geography plays a part as well. Remote markets tend to add travel time, while crowded cities add access, parking and permit costs.
Ways to keep wedding costs down
Gather two or three written quotes, compare the individual lines rather than the total, and ask whether paying in full lowers the price.
When the work can be scheduled, moving it out of the busiest season usually lowers the bill. Ask whether a bundle or off-peak rate exists.
