Podcast: Play in new window<\/a><\/p>\n Coming up with a succinct title for this week’s live episode was tricky! We covered a variety of really great wedding business topics including:<\/p>\n\n\t\t Listener FeedBack<\/strong><\/p>\n A HUGE thank you to Diana of Just In Time Events<\/em>, for leaving such great feedback on the Confetti Listener TalkBack Line.

But like any long-term relationship, think it through.\u00a0 Speak to a local attorney and draft out an official document (think pre-nup for a business) so that each of you is clear about everything<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Paying your Wedding-Day Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n So, exactly, how much do you pay other wedding planners who are working your client’s wedding?\u00a0 Well, it depends…on their wedding planning experience and how much money you need to make.\u00a0 There isn’t one correct answer.\u00a0 I have a few guidelines that might be helpful, but as the owner of your wedding planning business, you’ll need to take some time to determine what works best for you.<\/p>\n Wedding Planning Business Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you need insurance to protect to your Wedding Planning Business?\u00a0 The Hartford provides business insurance for wedding planners.\u00a0 You can learn more, here.<\/a><\/p>\n Get Text Alerts about Upcoming Confetti Live Shows<\/strong>: Text the word CONFETTI to 71441; Message and data rates may apply<\/p>\n Read Free articles about being a top-notch wedding planner<\/strong> at WeddingsforALiving.com<\/a><\/p>\n Start a Wedding Planning Business, Part-Time<\/strong> – Get downloadable forms, audio & video tutorials and more at Confetti Radio is on iTunes<\/strong> – You can subscribe to this show on iTunes.\u00a0 Simply go to ConfettiRadio.com\/itunes<\/a>.\u00a0 Why not leave a review?<\/p>\n Download a Free AudioBook!<\/strong> – Try Audible free for 30 days and pick an audio book of your choice.\u00a0 Go to ConfettiRadio.com\/audible to learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n TryFreedomVOICE<\/strong> – This is a great way to accept and make telephone calls for your wedding planning business.\u00a0 It’s also a great RSVP service for your clients.\u00a0 This is the service that I use and love.\u00a0 Go to TryFreedomVoice.com and try the service free for 30 days.\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n Listen to Confetti on the Go<\/strong> – Listen to live and archived Confetti Episodes by calling 213-992-4358<\/strong><\/p>\n HAPPY PLANNING!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Getting the right domain name, Creating a Franchise?, Paying event staff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[131,281,133,129,132],"post_series":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
