So how can Elan Wedding Consultants Inc. save you money?
-Discounts - As repeat business we are much more likely to receive discounts from vendors.
-We know how much you should be paying for a product or service. Are you getting the best value for your money or are you being taken for a ride?
-We know if a product or service is necessary or if it’s an area you could cut back in. Is it something you really want or is it something you just assume you have to do?
-We refer you to reputable vendors, not someone who will take your deposit and run or shut down a week after you book them. The vendors we work with also want to do their best for you, they want Elan to keep referring them business!
-We try very hard to keep you to your budget. We refer you to vendors appropriate to your budget. There’s no sense spending hours interviewing vendors you’re not going to hire. We also act as a sounding board if you want to go over your pre-established budget. Is it really what you want to do or are you getting off track? That’s not to say we won’t allow it, we just make sure it’s what you really want!
-Wholesale items and no store front. We have access to wholesale pricing on all kinds of things like favours, cake knife sets, vases, candles, etc. and because we really have no overhead like a store we can offer them to our clients at much better prices.
Consider this scenario:
You pay a $2500 fee to Elan Wedding Consultants Inc.
$300 discount received from photographer
$300 discount received from videographer
$400 discount received on dress
$100 discount received from DJ
$200 discount received from florist
$150 venue waives cake cutting fee
$500 venue waives ceremony on site fee
$100 officiant waives rehearsal fee or is not required at rehearsal
$100 you were going to book cake for $500 we can get the same one for $400 from our vendor
$200 the difference between paying retail for favours and our wholesale pricing
$100 develop itinerary so that cocktail hour is slightly shorter, fewer drinks, fewer hors d’oeuvres
$300 we suggest you use wine for toasting rather than champagne – difference in cost
$150 we suggest that altar arrangement can double for head table arrangement and we transport it
$100 we ensure the venue provides vendor meals for the vendors rather than regular meals
$3000 in savings, which means that by paying Elan Weddings $2500 you actually came out ahead by $500!
This is an example only and we cannot guarantee the savings but the above example is very realistic and based on an actual event.
Not only can we save you money, we can save you the time and stress of running around town checking out dozens of vendors that may or may not be appropriate for you. We give you a “shortlist” of vendors that suit your style, your budget and your personality.
And the best thing? You still get to plan your own wedding! We’re here to make to process easier and more enjoyable. We don’t take over, we simply guide you. Pointing you in the right direction, steering you back on track if you start to veer off and generally offering you advice and support while you take advantage of our connections.
We also offer partial planning if there are only certain areas where you would like to take advantage of our help.
Just imagine how much money, how much time and how much stress you could save yourself while still planning your own wedding.
