Initial Client Contact
The first initial contacts will be made by phone call, email, or facebook messages. One receiving their initial contact I will be asking the client what type of services they are inquiring about, based on their answers I will ask them to meet up with me at my office or have a meeting for a brunch or a coffee.
At this time I would encourage the bride to bring her fiancé, for the first meeting I want to know about the couple and what do they want to see from my company
I will also provide the Bride with a folder which will include:
Business card
Service Packages incl. additional Services
Marriage License Requirement for Connecticut
Preferred Vendors
Bridal Shower Party Themes
Bridal Party Checklist
