Package vs bespoke pricing

Are you losing couples before you even have a chance to connect? What if simply answering their first question—how much do you cost—was all it took to keep them from ghosting you? Would you book more show rounds if you made your pricing transparent and reduced the friction for Gen Z clients? In this episode, I share a first-hand account from a Gen Z bride and wedding industry insider about why she ghosted her first venue, what vendors are getting wrong with their first responses, and how follow-up and adding genuine value—not just sales tactics—can turn inquiries into bookings.

Listen to this new episode for insights on how clear communication, upfront pricing, and a personal, helpful touch can set you apart and convert more of today’s couples.
