Hi nancy, no probs.
yes, there is extra cost on the MUA coz "technically" speaking, we would be "preventing" them from taking on another job that day. Guess there a few ways we could do it...(a) negotiate with the BS to waive off that bit, (b) get a relative or friend to do the make-up for us for the dinner (afterall dinner is indoor, no sun, for abt 4 hrs or so) or (c) just pay the extra. I was quoted $150 extra by a BS!! I'm still thinking abt that bit...
Photographer...also the same thing. That one can't be helped. So, either get a friend to do the dinner photos or negotiate lorh...I was quoted $200 extra for one PG.
I think gown rental shouldn't be a problem, coz pple usually dun return them the next day anyway. (At least according to my friends lah. They usually return the gowns, say 3 days later, coz tired, got lots of things to do, etc...)
I think weekday, pple will turn up on time, coz they go after work mah...but be prepared that they might be pple who turn up in jeans (well, that depends on the guests u invite also lah). Well, so far the weekday dinners I've attended, pple leave right after dessert. Think gotta work with the coordinator to keep the flow of the dishes smooth and not too slow, then it'll end early.
