How much does a wedding in Lake Bled cost on average: Wedding Budget Breakdown

A LITTLE (but important) ABOUT COMMISSION

I choose to adhere to the wedding planner’s code of business ethics which includes not accepting any commission when planning and styling weddings.

By commission, I mean any financial incentive that may be offered to me by wedding suppliers in exchange for recommending them to my couples.

That means I will only suggest wedding suppliers to you because I think they will be the best vendors for what you need and I believe you truly need them

 

 

MY PRICING IS ALWAYS COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT & HONEST!

I always carefully match wedding suppliers so they are just right for the style and outcome you want. I have a network of experienced Lake Bled wedding suppliers that I use because I trust them explicitly and their prices are also transparent.

 

Your trust is paramount to me so my promise to you is to:

》 always act with integrity and honesty

》 respect your wedding budget at all times

》 curate a wedding team for your wedding that truly aligns with your needs, style, and values

》 tell you immediately if I am offered any work on a commission basis and request the financial reward is instead given to you as a discount on your final bill for that supplier

 

It is always useful to discuss whether a wedding planner accepts commission when you first meet.

If a wedding planner accepts commission it doesn’t automatically mean they are being dishonest. It does mean they are not being completely open about how your wedding costs are being applied because they are earning extra income every time you go with their recommended suppliers.

 

 

Additionally, the wedding supplier is likely to be more expensive because their prices have to allow for the extra commission they need to pay the wedding planner so you’ll find these types of suppliers mark up their prices by 10-15% or sometimes more.

If the wedding planner initially appears to come at a low cost, you’ll find the extra markup they are earning from the commission, which means your final wedding costs will be far higher than you expected.

It also means the wedding planner will not put your needs first because they will be biased towards suggesting wedding suppliers from whom they can reap some of the financial rewards that result from your booking.

For those reasons, the vast majority of professional wedding planners do not accept commissions from wedding vendors. The priority should and must always be to source the best suppliers for your wedding and not those who will earn the wedding planner the best commission.

I am proud to join so many of my fellow industry professionals in operating Storija weddings with a no commission policy – and 100% transparency, always. All wedding costs at Storija Weddings are free from the commission.
