The Union Podcast - hosted by Jamie Wolfer

Mastering Wedding Planning: Vendor Etiquette, Logistics, Design Tips, and Stress Management

Episode Summary

In this episode, Jamie answers the questions: - If a client is insisting they don’t have the budget to feed their vendors, how can I politely explain why it’s important to feed at least some of them? - Would it be weird to suggest my clients hire 1-2 people to transport their flowers and decorations from the ceremony location to the reception and set it back up for us? Is this something I could hire an assistant to do for me and include it in my packages? - What are some ways I can improve my design skills so I feel more confident when giving my clients design advice? - How do you manage your approach with clients who get really easily overwhelmed with wedding tasks? - What are the benefits of a styled shoot?
