Baby Steps to That Dream Wedding<\/span><\/h1>\n

So what is \u201cthee\u201d first step to planning you awesome destination wedding?<\/p>\n

Contacting\u00a0 me.\u00a0 The great Steve Young.<\/p>\n

You can reach out either by phone, email, facebook messenger, or skype. \u00a0I also accept stalkers. \u00a0In my opinion, communicating via phone is probably the best way to start a dialogue as you can receive answers immediately, rather than waiting for an email reply.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you\u2019re at work, I understand that a phone call won\u2019t work for you, that\u2019s 100% okay.\u00a0 Get ahold of me any way you want.\u00a0 Except by male strip-o-gram.<\/p>\n

Contacting me serves three main purposes:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can check my availability for your wedding.<\/li>\n
  2. Receive answers to the layers of questions you may have<\/li>\n
  3. Figure out if I\u2019m mentally insane, or just a funny guy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Somewhere along our first conversation, I\u2019m gonna get\u00a0 an idea for what you\u2019re looking for in your wedding and have enough information to email you an estimate.
    \n    \"estimates<\/a>You will\u00a0receive\u00a0the estimates via email in pdf format<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    Here comes the nerdy serious part.<\/p>\n

    The estimate consists of the services we discussed, broken down into individual line items for price transparency reasons.\u00a0 \u00a0Simply eliminate what you don\u2019t need, don\u2019t want, and whatever is left is what you will get for your wedding.\u00a0 More than likely, the estimate will generate more questions.\u00a0 Which, I will of course, be happy to answer.\u00a0 Cal me, email me, and again\u2026no male strip-o-gram.<\/p>\n

    More nerdy talk.<\/p>\n

    Upon your wedding inquiry, your wedding date will be put on an unofficial hold.\u00a0 This means that your wedding date will be reserved temporarily as we work on your estimate.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If I do get another inquiry for your wedding date while you decide what you want on the estimate, I will inform you immediately.\u00a0 Since you inquired for the date first, you will always get the first opportunity to officially book it with a down payment, even if the other inquiring couple (celebrity couple) makes an offer with a generous down payment.<\/p>\n

    \"Hawaii-Wedding-Invoice<\/a>An example of my official invoice.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    MAKING IT OFFICIAL<\/h3>\n

    To officially book your wedding date, I will need a 50% down payment of whatever the grand total of your invoice is.\u00a0 This down payment can be issued by check, money order, of credit card.\u00a0 I do take online payments!\u00a0 The rest of your payment is due on your wedding day.<\/p>\n

    The invoice may be modified after your down payment, but additional services are based upon availability.\u00a0\u00a0 For example, if you ordered a customized photography package without a minister, and decided that you needed a minister your wedding, there will be no guarantee that one of my ministers would be available.\u00a0 This means, before you issue a down payment, make sure you have everything you want on that invoice.<\/p>\n

    AFTER IT\u2019S OFFICIAL<\/h3>\n

    Well, there\u2019s really not much to do on my side other than to play video games and eat donuts.\u00a0\u00a0 On your side, you may still have to book your travel, buy your rings, fit your dress, etc..etc..\u00a0\u00a0 Anytime you have any questions, you can call or email me.<\/p>\n

    WHAT HAPPENS AS WE GET CLOSER TO YOUR WEDDING?<\/h3>\n
