I have a question for wedding planners and other wedding vendors that travel at least 30miles outside your service area. How much extra do you charge for travel and maybe hotel accomodation??
I provide group on-site child care solutions during wedding and corporate events and I havebeen getting a lot of calls outside my city. I would also like to expand my services to other cities in my State, but would not want to run a loss after every event.( if I do not charge additional fees for travel/hotel).
My questions are:
1. Do I just charge a higher fee for my service to clients 30 miles outside my zipcode??
or
2. Charge my usual fee, but charge a separate fee for travel and hotel accomodations??
I would love to hear from lots of vendors that provide destination weddings or weddings outside your service area. Thanks a lot!!!

Permalink Reply by Nora Tindon on I've seen a number of vendors offering free travel on http://www.gatheringguide.com as I've been looking for vendors for my own wedding, and I've wondered how they afford it. Maybe there is just a higher fee overall for further weddings not categorized as "travel"? I'm tempted to investigate though.

I like it when I can provide both the DJ and minister services all in the same place as it is totally fun for me doing it.
