The following is a list of commonly asked questions
regarding the "Your Dream Wedding" E-Book and general wedding
planning. It is by no means a concise list of all questions that I have been
asked. It is more a set of questions that people have asked me specifically
about my book. In considering "Your Dream Wedding" as a resource,
people have expectations. These expectations are represented here to help
people better understand the value of the E-Book, and how it will enhance their
wedding day. I have tried to anticipate what it is you really want to know
before buying this book on Wedding Planning.

other specific questions that you might

FAQ's
|
- How
much should a wedding cost? Does the book keep me in that
ballpark?
The
national average for wedding costs in the year 2006 is about $15,000.00 to
$16,000.00. Every wedding coordinator will argue with me, but it really doesn't
matter. This is a good starting point for about 150 guests. Now you can do the
math. It's commonly about $100.00 per person. This is a conservative estimate
if you have done your homework and spent your money wisely. If you have an
unlimited budget, your decisions could easily triple the cost factor, and turn
the affair into something more like a $50,000.00 event.
Although the
"Your Dream Wedding" E-Book does not guarantee that your wedding
will come in within that range, it does help you make fewer unnecessary
expenditures. It shows alternate ways to do things and promotes flexible,
creative thinking, which will help you accomplish your goals while incurring
less in costs. It will also help insure that each dollar that you do spend is
going to be worth the investment. Hindsight being golden, most newlyweds could
look back and say, "We really didn't need to have that..." and think of things
that they could have done without, and things that would have made little or no
difference on their wedding day. "Your Dream Wedding" will help
you decide in advance just what is most important, so that fewer of these
"didn't need to have that..." situations occur. Efficiency is key in any job,
and planning a wedding is a real job, often for many working on the same
wedding. What the book will do is help make you aware of your wishes and needs,
and then help you achieve the results you want as effectively as possible. Each
family's budget will be different, and you just might go over budget. But if
you do, you will know exactly why, and will be investing for the right reasons.
- Is
buying your book really necessary? Planning a wedding seems like a lot of
common sense to me.
If this is your thinking, you are partly right. Yes,
common sense is very important, and in confronting each situation and issue,
people with common sense may have no problems with any of the things that will
come up. In that case, no, this book may not necessary. However, unless you
have planned a few weddings yourself, or have an education from somewhere,
there is simply no way for you to know everything that is included in the book.
The contents of "Your Dream Wedding" cannot be known and
understood without some form of experience, even if it is second hand. Even the
best of planners, coordinators, and wedding specialists will find something of
value in this E-Book. Hence, the way to look at the E-Book as a value to your
wedding planning is that the contents will give you the best overview of what
to expect and what to consider. It will help you get a general overview of
wedding planning, and then you can move onward with confidence, knowing that
there isn't much that you will miss. Furthermore, although it won't make all
the decisions for you, it will help you figure out how YOU feel about the
issues, and assist you in coming to your decisions.
- Can
I really have a dream wedding and save thousands of dollars at the same
time?
It would
be easy to say a simple "YES!" to this question, make some unbelievable claims,
and never have to face you afterwards for a refund (that you probably will not
pursue, according to statistics) that was based on me saying that you will save
some amazing amount of money while creating and having the grandest event
imaginable. But I won't do that in order to sell you a copy of my E-Book. It is
my belief that in most cases buyers are lucky to get what they pay for. As a
general principle, one cannot get the best quality for the least money. What I
can promise you is that you will save money by not overspending in many areas
in which you might have. By having a better idea of what things cost and what
value they have, you won't pursue trivial things that cost a lot when they
won't make enough of a difference on your wedding day to be included. The real
issue is that in planning a wedding it is easy to spend many thousands of
dollars too much. A few miscalculations and miss-evaluations, and you are
there.
Where you will save the most money is in determining your own
values regarding what is important to you for your wedding. In this way, you
will not focus on all the small accents that are nice, but less important,
adding a large percentage of unnecessary costs to your total. The things that
you decide are important are going to be worth what you spend, and there is
little chance that you will come back to me and say that they were not worth
the costs. Certainly, the odds are that you may have a few "didn't need to have
that..." items on your list. But if you follow the line of thinking that the
E-Book offers, there will be fewer of these to consider when it is all said and
done.
The bottom line is, if all goes well, you will get what you paid
for. Where "Your Dream Wedding" helps is in determining what you
are willing to pay for, and what you are not willing to do without. They are
basically the same things. The fine line that is drawn is the determination of
what is important and what is not as important. I won't make outrageous claims,
but I do guarantee that the E-Book will be worth it, and that you will not be
functioning under the premise of falseness, or misrepresented facts. If after
you read this E-Book, you believe that the value of the book does not warrant
it's cost, I'll happily give you all your money back. Ultimately, the goal of
the E-Book is to increase your value per dollar spent on the experience of your
wedding day.
- Do
you really give a Money-Back Guarantee?
Yes. My reasoning is that most people
who actually read "Your Dream Wedding" will be amazed at the
content. The few who do not find value in the E-Book will be VERY few. In
advance I will concede that not all readers will agree with everything that I
have to say. Most of the content of my E-Book on wedding planning is a series
of opinions based on my experiences, and leaves plenty of room for contention
if someone is in a mind to argue.
Most people who read "Your
Dream Wedding" will get a lot more than the hundred times their
investment out of it that I guarantee. Fair consumers who get value seldom ask
for their money back just because it is available to them. It is my experience
that people are more inclined to pay you a tip if they value their purchase, or
give you something, even if just a note of thanks. I also do not believe that
the average contented buyer of my E-Book will think it appropriate to give it
freely to friends, without paying for a new copy. Certainly there will be some,
but I am not concerned. If a family member wants a copy, I say give it to them.
It's still all about YOUR wedding.
Where owners of the E-Book will get
the most value is not so much in the money saved, but rather in the wealth of
knowledge and understanding that is gained, which will indeed save some cash,
but more importantly bring ideas, empowerment, and peace of mind. I expect
there to be more smiles on faces even before the wedding day, and more walks of
confidence based on having a clear understanding of what planning a wedding is
all about. It will be difficult to place a monetary value on these things.
- How
else will I benefit from your book?
There are too many things to list. The contents of the
E-Book are the equivalent of a wedding planning handbook. These subjects may
have been written about with more words or details, but few compositions will
cover more subjects with as much clarity as this one. It is created to be
unbiased and comprehensive, without filling you full of attitudes and closed
thoughts. "Your Dream Wedding" is an E-Book that will educate,
encourage, and empower you. Each reader will take away his or her own gains
from its contents, and undoubtedly benefit from the new knowledge.
The
additional benefit to all who buy the E-Book is that I will answer, as part of
the sale and subscription that is included in its purchase, all emails from
buying customers who have questions beyond the scope of the E-Book itself. One
reason for this is that I learn so much from people working through their own
unique situations. Someday all the new ideas and concepts will be the content
for a new book, and we will add to our knowledge base. So feel free to email me
with your questions if the book does not cover information that answers them.
We will find the best answers available, and get right back to
you.
