The Wedding Savings System [Paperback]

Kenneth Gilmore (Author)


Out of Print--Limited Availability.



Book Description

June 1, 1999
At The Pinecrest Event Center & Chapel, Colorado's most unique wedding site, we conduct over 200 weddings per year. Our staff performs the most elegant wedding for $7,500 which is less than one half of the Colorado average wedding cost of $19,000. We can accomplish this cost savings due to our knowledge of the key wedding vendors, our facilities, and our experience in the wedding industry. Many of our clients have asked us to explain our system ; thus, The Wedding Savings System was created to pass on our methods. We describe how to be your own wedding coordinator, how to write contracts for vendors, develop a realistic budget, use competitive bidding to obtain the best price from vendors, and finally pass on the many tips we have developed over the course of conducting our weddings. The Wedding Savings System is the only wedding planning book on the market that is written from the perspective of wedding professionals that conduct 200 weddings yearly. Our tools and methods are tested constantly as we deliver elegant weddings for our clients at less than one half of the Colorado average cost. We wrap up the information presented with an actual case study of the savings from one of our weddings. This will help the user of our system to get a feel of the results they can achieve using The Wedding Savings System.
