"Why can't you just tell me the price???"
Have you been victim of a vendor who insists on a lengthy meeting before they will provide you a price range for their services? This can be incredibly annoying when you are simply trying to determine if something is within your budget, or not.
I have some advice for navigating this frustrating situation, including a copy / paste script for your inquiry emails:
Hi, we are very motivated to choose a photographer {insert service here} for our {insert date here} May 2027 wedding. {insert how you found them, what sparked your interest}. Will you kindly share your package options and pricing?
If the response indicates that you need to book a meeting / call for more info, then simply send a firm response:
Out of respect for both of our time, I need to confirm your pricing range before moving forward.
Simple, right?
Stick around for a handful of listeners questions, including a convo on how much to tip which vendors. Spoiler alert - it's NOT an automatic 20% to your entire vendor team.
