"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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
