p.3 #1 · How much % do you ask upfront?


50% to reserve, the rest by the day of the event.

Should I be making them pay the remaining balance before then?

Below are the percentages of my total packages, but my figures are spelled out and based on dollars. These just happen to be what the percents come out to. It insures that a substantial amount of money is paid up front and I'm pretty much paid in full for services before the wedding. The balance is pretty much material cost with a small bonus if I do my part and keep cost in line.

Smallest package
75% at booking
50% of balance 30 days before
50% (balance) when they see the online proofs

Mid package
50% at booking
57% of balance 30 days before
43% (balance) when they see the online proofs

Highest package
35% at booking
53% of balance 30 days before
47% (balance) when they see the online proofs


I can see your motto is not "Keep it Simple"...

I do 50% & the contract signed in order to reserve the date.
Remainder by day of the wedding.
(Any destination wedding reservations (rooms/tickets) & travel costs 8 weeks before wedding date, at lastest.)
