Wedding Business Solutions How do you handle leads for dates very far into the future?
How do you handle leads for dates very far into the future?
What do you do when a couple wants to book you for a date 15 months out—or even two years from now? How should you manage pricing, contract clauses, or even hold a tentative booking if they don’t have a venue yet? In this episode, I share practical strategies and key questions to ask when booking far in advance, ways to protect yourself against rising costs, and how to clearly communicate expectations (and policies) for cancellations and deposits with your clients.
Listen to this new 9-minute episode for insights on pricing, contracts, and conversations to help you confidently book clients—no matter how far out their event might be.
