		<description>Here is one we recieved today.....

I am Col. Owen Fletcher, from London England. I am writing to get information
on wedding/reception venues and also so in need of the services of a wedding planner.

Mary and I are planning to have a wedding in March 2010 (any date in March will be fine) and will require more information on this as we plan also to have the wedding in your region. We are looking for a venue and planner to help us plan our wedding/reception.

40 to 50 guests are expected to attend. Please advise on weather conditions and the possibilities of rain.

Please note that you (wedding planner) is to arrange for a food, Videography, Music Entertainment, Photography, Officiant, cake and flowers, decoration etc.

Please do confirm this date and get back to me.

Thanks for your anticipated response
Best regards,

Message: My Name is Allen Clark, I am looking for an experienced wedding planner who will handle my wedding and arrange dinner for a group of people who will be attending the wedding ceremony.we would be arriving seven days before the wedding day.
&#62; 
&#62; The wedding is expected to hold second week of November, guests are expected to attend. As i do not know what the guests might choose for their meals and drinks.
&#62; 
&#62; You are to arrange for a Videography,Music Entertainment,Photography,Officiant/Priest &#38; Church,cake,flowers and hall.If there is any these items that is beyond your capability,you let us know so that another company can handle it. Get back to me with your response as we don't have much time with us so that we can process our accommodation within the region more convenient for you and us.Payment Option Credit card? If you have a credit card Machine
&#62; 
&#62; 
&#62; Best Regards,
&#62; Allen Clark


With reply,

Thanks. I'm really very glad to hear from you.. It's nice of you to respond to my inquiry. It is the wish of my finance to get married in your area and I have to give in to her wish and due to the fact I do not have any one there, you will be responsible for all arrangements. I will be arriving with my Fiance 7 days before the wedding and I need you to also make arrangement for our accommodation. I will need you to book 2 double rooms for us for 7 nights and one honeymoon suite for the night of the wedding 14th of November, 2009.
 
We have a budget of about $57,000 USD which includes payment for your fees, all the other vendors you will be working with and that of our logistic agent aside us, I am also expecting 35 to 45 other guest from Asia, USA, UK. My fiance decided that the color for the wedding should be white and gold. For flowers, pink and red roses should be fine. She loves red roses and we'll want lots of them at the wedding. Please feel free to introduce any nice flower of your choice to make the venue more beautiful. For music, a DJ will be fine. For food, a buffet will be perfect. If there be any more information needed from me, do let me know. The wedding is a civil wedding... I need you to get back to me with a total estimate that will cover this arrangement so that I can make a deposit payment to enable you start arrangements as time is not on our side.
Get back to me as soon as you have the estimate so that we can start of all preparation for my wedding.
 
I await your response.
