Deals if 2 book	Can't Post

Have any of you ever double booked? I have 2 sisters getting married next year. They are meeting with me in a week. I would like to give them a deal if they both book with me. What type of deal would you give?
Thanks

PS my subject line was going to be "Sisters getting married" but then I thought that could mean soooo many things lol

Guess my first response did not make it.
I suggest that you try to find out a few things, before you start giving away the farm. Are they wanting seperate and/or combined Masters. (An editing nightmare).Been there.....
Consider quesions about the placement of cameras, (think Vows). Also realize that an additional camera/operator and mics might be needed up front if seperate Masters are required.
Same applies for the Reception, a seperate camera may be required just to get the individual first dance.

The list is endless. But have fun.

Not on same date [In reply to]	Can't Post

It is not a double wedding. Just 2 sisters who may both want to book me for next summer. If they both book at the same time, what kind of deal would you give them?

Hi Crystal,
I would probably consider a ten to fifteen percent discount ... closer to ten depending on your pricing. If they show up at the same time it might be benefitial.
However, I would tell them to get the discount they both have to book at the same time ... a contact and deposit. That way you have them for sure. If only one was willing to book first then I would make certain that it stated in the contract that a 10% discount would be applied the final bill only if the sister booked by the time the first sister was married.
