What Wedding Pros OWE The Client • Protecting the client from themselves • A full tank of gas, spare tire, and a AAA card • Proper arrival time PLUS an extra half-hour • Back-up equipment for surprise situations • Be as self-sufficient as possible • Remember that you are part of team • Own your errors and make them right • Communicate, almost to excess


What matters in court? • You are held to a higher standard than the client • Verbal agreements don’t mean JACK. Reality sez: It has to be in writing, fair, and clear to be enforceable. • It’s about documentation… judges and magistrates couldn’t care less about minutia. • Don’t be smug or angry. Be calm and in-control.


You can’t please everyone
