PACKAGES FAQ
-
Packages are designed as commitment based offers for brides who are ready to secure their date. Scheduling a preview before booking means you haven’t yet committed and you still need time. Therefore, individual pricing is used to fairly reflect the flexibility you're choosing.
-
No. Bridal packages are only available to brides who reserve their wedding day services before scheduling a trial. If you choose to have a preview first and then decide to move forward, you’ll simply continue with à la carte (individual) pricing.
-
Not always. Many brides who reach out are already familiar with Chenese’s work. She’s either because I’ve done their makeup before, they’ve seen it in person on a friend or family member, they’ve researched her work (everything on this website and her non-bridal site chenesebean.com) including social media, and feel confident in booking their wedding without needing a trial FIRST. For those brides, the package option is a perfect fit and helps them secure their date quicker, preventing another bride from booking at moments notice.
-
No. Scheduling a preview appointment does not reserve your wedding date. Until you’ve officially book your wedding day services, your date remains open and available for other brides to reserve. Because I don’t hold dates without a confirmed booking, it’s possible someone else could secure your date before you do.
If you’re confident and ready, booking your wedding day services upfront is the best way to secure your date and take advantage of package pricing.
