  2. How many weddings do you take per year — and how many on our weekend?
  3. Who's our point person, and who's actually on-site the wedding day?
  4. Is your fee flat, percentage-of-budget, or hourly — and what's not included?
  5. Can we talk to two couples whose weddings you ran in the last 6 months?

When to book
