Melissa Miville commented on the blog post 'One Way to Change a Bride’s Mind About You'

One of the questions/topics I'm always afraid of is bringing up that I'm divorced. Since I'm a wedding planner I just worry if that will affect potential clients decisions on using me.

Melissa Miville replied to the discussion 'Vendor Meals Yes or No?'

I always request a meal as it is a very long day as a wedding planner. If the venue offers special vendor meals then l'm fine with that. Otherwise I request what the other guests have. Most times they do a vendor table somewhere out of the way,…

Hi Melissa, You've gotten good advice and I'll add a little more. The reshoot is a good solution since it allows the photographer to 'make good'. However, as a conflict coach, I'd suggest a slightly…

Thanks for the advice everyone! I told the client she should be honest. I told her I would gladly contact the photographer first to discuss it and give them a head's up. So we'll see how this goes!

As a photographer... I would suggest they have a reshoot. How bad are the pictures? Digital cameras provide instant gratification and the couple could ask to see the images in the camera as they shoot. Which poses the question was it the…

Hi Melissa. Difficult situation, but here is how I would suggest handling it. As the planner, I'd talk to the photographer and explain exactly what it is they do not like about the photos and give the photographer (will say he for…

Stacey Porter replied to the discussion 'Need help/advice!' in the group Wedding Planners

Hi Melissa, You can try contacting the photographer to give them a heads up - probably best to be truthful in this situation, since you may have to work with them in the future. However you won't be able to officially cancel the contract for…

That's interesting that Natalie Bradley told you that you should list pricing. I went to a seminar with her back in July and she said NOT to list pricing! I do anyway as I find I get more clients that way.

Hi everyone! I have a new client getting married in the Philly area - at the Waynesboro Country Club. They were thinking of using Musical Expressions by Chet Light as a DJ. I don't know anything about him. Do any of you? Feel free to contact me…

Wedding Photography

The wedding photographer is one of the most important parts of your wedding day. If you are going to splurge on one thing for your wedding it should be the photographer!

Anyone that has been married will tell you that the wedding day flies by so fast. Within a few weeks you tend to forget much of what happened that day. This is why you need a good photographer. The only thing you will have to remember your big day is the pictures. Plus, the photographer will capture moments you… Continue

Tips on Shopping for your Wedding Dress!

Since I just spent the day helping one of my brides shop for her wedding dress, I thought I’d write a blog about it!

Some brides find shopping for their dress to be a daunting task. If you’re prepared it doesn’t have to be. Here are some tips to make this an enjoyable experience.

* Start shopping as soon as possible. Some dresses can take four to six months to order in. Some shops will sell you the floor model (such as my bride’s today) but others will not. And remember… Continue

Now that the busy wedding season is over, the bridal show season is beginning! After doing my first bridal show with my husband this weekend I thought I would blog about ways to make the most of the shows.

If you’ve ever attended a bridal show you know they can be absolute chaos! There are multiple vendors from each sector and there are brides and their friends running all over the place. Some shows even have multiple rooms with… Continue
