Hello Ladies
i have a pricing question. I have hired a young lady to come to our venue. To help me get into my dress. I got her from my wedding dress shop.
So way no one will see me until I actually walk down the aisle..

so my question is how much do you pay someone to come in and do something like this ? She literally might be there for 20 mins if that but trust me it’s worth every penny..

how about tipping for our
Dj?
Photographer ?
decorator?

Please help I need to get these envelopes ready.. before time

I’ve never heard of anyone doing that. It’s a great idea, but I’d have no idea how much to pay. Does the bridal shop have suggestions?

I would pay her $35 or something similar.

Consider her travel- does she know where the venue is? Make sure she does because if she agreed then realizes it's 45 minutes away from her residence she may suddenly change her mind. If she knows and accepted it, find out how dare it is. Remember you are not only paying for her time (~30 minutes) but also her travel.

Our venue is literally 5 minutes from the bridal shop

Great- Sounds like she knows and won't suddenly drop, but that may still be a 20 minute ride for her in the opposite direction. Again, I suggest paying for time and travel.

Do you have a family member or close friend who could help you get into the dress? It seems a little unnecessary to hire someone to do this imo! My mom helped me into mine.
