See the method in action
Two quotes. One is quietly CU 1,050 more.
A worked example of what the workbook does: put two offers on the same scope, add the required extras, then compare the real totals.
Venue A
Headline CU 6,000- Food & staffing6,000
- Table & linen rentals (required)+900
- Cake (required)+450
- Service charge, 15%+900
Comparable totalCU 8,250
Genuinely cheaper
Venue B
Headline CU 7,200- Food, staffing, rentals & cake7,200
- Service chargeincluded
- Required extrasnone
Comparable totalCU 7,200
Venue A looked CU 1,200 cheaper on the headline. Once the required extras are added, it is actually CU 1,050 more. The workbook surfaces those extras before you book.
Fictional educational example. CU = currency units, not real market prices. Your own figures go in the workbook’s comparison sheets.
The problem it solves
Three vendor quotes, three different weddings. One includes staffing, another excludes rentals, a third ends with “plus fees.” Until the packages describe the same day, you can’t tell which is truly cheaper.
