The Supply and Demand of Weddings
Philadelphia, PA -- June 1, 2007 -- With June weddings upon us, the news media all turn their focus to weddings - a multi billion dollar industry… Recently comments have been made in several national interviews about wedding professionals and the inflated cost of planning a wedding… driven by the wedding industries hype of “bigger is better.”
Actually the wedding industry is no different than the clothing, home goods, auto, housing or travel industries…Everybody is keeping up with the Jones’
Weddings are no different, demand pushes supply…if you want it someone will sell it to you… and everyone has got designer something.
“Brides have a vision of their fairytale wedding” says Mark Kingsdorf, nationally recognized wedding expert and owner of The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants in Philadelphia.“ The vision is fueled by TV, movies, and celebrity weddings” adds Kingsdorf “brides today wouldn’t be happy with the wedding their parents had 30 years ago.”
Brides today who are trying to be ‘outside the box’, ‘have a unique wedding’, and ‘not be like every other wedding’ they have been to, are turning to Professional Wedding Consultants.
“Consultants are no longer looked on as a luxury item; many brides are looking at these professionals as an investment. Weddings are a purchase as large as a new car, a house or an investment portfolio; and couples are turning to the experts.” Professional Wedding Consultants are investment in: free time to spend with their fiancé, on their careers, as well as in their sanity.
“Brides today can spend upwards of 250 hours planning their wedding’ – add that on to a full time career, finishing up a post graduate degree, or cross country planning” says Kingsdorf, “ and you’ve got a good start on a breakdown.”
Professional wedding consultants offer brides savings of time, energy and can act as a negotiator in dealing with the 18-22 contracts couples enter into during the planning process, as well as acting as a neutral third party in family disputes.
While negotiating contract consultants can often save couples substantial amount by assisting them in picking focal points in décor, menu and by designing personal touches.
But in today’s keeping up with the Jones’ society, investing in a professional who’s focus is on everything wedding, everything cutting edge, incorporating the hottest detail of the latest celebrity wedding, the next great trend to come along, professional wedding consultants are an investment many busy couples are willing to make.
