Just putting feelers out...

Hi Gals! Hope you don't mind me picking your brains but....

Was wondering, how many of you brides would find a wedding consultation service useful if it was at a reasonable cost.

Am currently in the process fo setting mine up. Is it something you would have thought of having?

My idea would be to offer a service which helps b2b find venues, musicians, entertainers, transport or anything else they think they'd like at the wedding as well as offering a reduced price in stationary and decorations.

Do you think I'd be wasting my time here or does this idea have potential and if so what others sorts of things would you find useful from this sort of company?

Thanks

Hi Samantha,

I think its a great idea, If you are doing it as a one-man-band then your overheads will be quite low and you can pass the benefit onto the B2B's

Its always great to have someone on your side, someone to help take the headaches of wedding planning away and someone to offer advice. If you can offer B2B's this kind of 'big sister' service and good prices then u are onto a winner.

I haven't used a planner because I am a sadist that enjoys the planning, but I have heard that 'some' wedding planners use the 'looking down their nose' technique to get brides to pay for something they can't necessarily afford So my main advice would be to listen to brides when they stress their budget.

Good luck to you I wish you all the sucsess in the world

I think its a great idea, lots of hard work, but then if you enjoy what you do then it dosen't seem such hard graft anyway

good luck

your a bloomin lunatic if you want to spend all your time dealing with the type of people that come on here. I pretend to be friends with them but thats because I worry what they will do if they stop their medication
