Hey Emily huge fan I found you on RUclips last year. I wanted to ask a question or get some advice since you are a vet in the Wedding planner game. My name is Ophelia I am a planner/ coordinator here in Nashville TN. If a client does not need your inventory to design their wedding and they have purchased you for DOC only but would like you to set up the space Ceremony & reception would you charge separately for labor or include that with your DOC fee? Forgive me if this is not allowed 😂💜
Hi! Typically a full set-up of the space is an extra fee. My DOC package is 10 hours of work on the wedding day, so if it is minimal set-up (not setting up tables chairs and just doing things like placing centerpieces, putting out signs, setting simple place settings, etc) and the guest list isn't huge, a lot of times this can be accomplished within that service. Otherwise, I charge a set-up fee based on the estimated time I anticipate it to take. This is where you need to have a thorough consul with the client and make sure you have a good understanding of exactly what their vision is for the space and what they expect you to do.
Great tips ! Very helpful. Thank you.
