Happy Wednesday!
Yesterday, I got interviewed by a reporter from Medill Reports Chicago. They are an online newspaper written and produced by graduate journalism students at Northwestern University.
They were doing a story on the wedding industry and if vendors are folding due to the economy. Because we are in the glorious city of Chicago, and all the vendors i work with are of the higher end, no one has any need to worry about their vendors here. However, i did tell them that vendors are willing to wheel and deal more now than ever.
Don’t be afraid to ask for discounts or ask if vendors can throw in a few extras. Maybe a caterer can throw in an extra hors d’oeuvre or a couple extra desserts. Maybe the florist will throw in flowers for the restrooms. Maybe the band will even negotiate an extra singer. It certainly doesn’t hurt to ask.
Enjoy the Article here. I have also included a sneak peak below.
Happy Planning!
