As a 'start-up' wedding planner - What is a reasonable quote for planning the big day?

I am new to the wedding planning business. Whilst all the experience I have and am still getting is invaluable, there's only so much experience (free of charge, of course) one can feasibly offer. Working full time at a regular job and planning couples weddings on m own time is more than a full time job - So when quoting a couple under these circumstances of 'Wedding planner in the making' What is reasonable to ask for?

The standard going rate is either $50.00 and hour or 10% of the budget

Thanks, I'm London UK based so i'll turn that $50 to hmm..? £35?...Must be difficult though to charge wedding planning by the hour especially as a full wedding planning package from start to end. I assume this is where you sue a % of total budget
