@marissasplace: genuine question why arenโt vendors transparent about their pricing?? like if your way out of my budget thereโs no way youโre gonna trap me in just bc i reached out to you? is that it? #bride #wedding #2027bride #weddingplanning
Agreed! Would love to help you find vendors in your price range! Just messaged you ๐ฅฐ

This is why I post all my prices publicly, sometimes I wonder if other vendors change the price depending on external factors..

I didnโt even bother looking into peopleโs services if they didnโt have pricing up front. 99% of the time it was WAYYYY out of our price range I swear itโs bc they know itโs a ridiculous price

ex-entrepreneur here: itโs because they wanna get you on a call to build rapport because a voice call or facetime is a better way to increase their chances that youโll book with them. essentially, they wanna convince you to book them.

Isabel | CO Photographer :
As a past bride and a wedding photographer myself, I totally get that valid question. Like everyone said, itโs truly only to get you to talk to them so they can build that rapport because itโs basically like โyouโre less likely to say no if you have a relationship with that potential vendorโ

literally I'm not doing that work. even if they give a "starting price" or "average investment" then that's fine. I don't need the nitty gritty but give me a general idea to start with

Shelby Sargent :
The photographers Iโm specifically looking at are giving us options on โbundlesโ or flat prices. I donโt like the idea of not advertising bc generally speaking, when they donโt, itโs a crazy price

in my experience from looking at venues and some other vendors, the ones that don't list pricing are overpriced. they know it but they use sales tactics to compete instead of being market priced.

Crystal :
I had a photographer tell me that many couples will expand their budget after scheduling a call and learning more about the value the photographer brings. Iโm like great, I wonโt be expanding mine, but thanks for admitting that ๐

Kaitlyn | JAX Event Planner :
As both a wedding planner and a 2027 bride, this is exactly why I have all of my pricing on my website. I believe in full transparency so couples can quickly see if weโre the right fit without wasting anyoneโs time.

Asked a videographer over and over what his prices were. He made me get on the phone to tell me $14k minimum and then kept pushing that he would give me $500 off. Like that helps๐คฃ

I had the same struggle. The ones that didnโt show pricing or package options I just assumed I couldnโt afford and didnโt contact ๐ honestly their loss

Leighanne Rodriguez :
I got a full on lecture on why the photographer was out of my price range, I get it your photos are gorgeous but way waste an hour of your time if I canโt afford you

And then if I reach out to get information on pricing and their first reply doesnโt have any information about that then Iโm immediately ghosting them.

Preach!!! All venues & vendors need to just be transparent about the pricing. Will be easier for everyone

As a wedding planner, we canโt win either way. I have my prices posted and people still donโt look before inquiring. Or they will look, know theyโre out of budget, still want more information only to say itโs out of budget. So truly just know that no matter what we do someone isnโt happy

Iโm a photo/video vendor and we offer photo, video and content creation along with 35mm film. We do everything from courthouse weddings to 4 day South Asian weddings. Itโs just not possible to list our services for every scenario. I do have a starting price on our website but it still feels like we canโt win because couples wonโt read the website before inquiring or even fill in the inquiry form with enough useful details about their day when I can give them an accurate quote over email. Itโs frustrating for us too.

Vendor here: pricing varies! It used to be a sales tactic but I wouldnโt say so much now - now in todayโs economy we have to consider so many factors that dictate price. Distance, what you want out of the service will give you your price. Also- ai is creating false expectation with most peopleโs budget so we want the chance to connect about what we can do for you rather than you being completely turned off but general pricing that may not apply to you
