It depends upon the expenses you spent in the business.I agree with the users opinion and take the wright decision by discussing with the well wisher.If any body needs help to plan a wedding,they may use the wedding app and ease your wedding tension.

Sometimes if it is an email that I am responding to, I add the fee in so it is one fee for everything. However, if they ask, I let them know that $x.xx is for the travel. Sometimes people do not want to hear about the travel, etc. so I…

For performing wedding ceremonies I have my base fees for anywhere within 25 miles of my office. I add $50.00 for each additional 25 miles. To some this may seem high, but you have to consider the extra time, wear and tear on your car,…
