Wise words from Mark Caravaggio at inTUNE ☺️

RETAINERS ARE NOT A SCAM

The idea of a “retainer” or “non-refundable deposit” is common in service-based industries, especially when booking wedding or event vendors. It’s meant to secure the vendor’s services for a specific date and prevent others from booking them, which is crucial in businesses that rely on limited availability and high demand.

Here’s a breakdown of the purpose:

1. Retainer as Commitment

A retainer, often called a non-refundable deposit, is a fee paid upfront to secure a vendor’s availability. By paying this fee, the client essentially “holds” the vendor’s time and commitment for a specific date, ensuring no other clients can book them for that period.

2. Holding Dates

For wedding and event vendors, each date is unique and valuable because they can typically only work one event on a given day. By holding a date with a retainer, the vendor is making a commitment to the client, turning down other potential work for that time. If the client cancels, the vendor might struggle to fill that date again, potentially losing revenue.

3. Compensation for Potential Loss

A non-refundable deposit helps the vendor cover lost opportunities and potential business costs if a booking is cancelled. Since the vendor has effectively committed their time and resources, the deposit ensures they’re compensated at least partially if the client backs out.

Why Non-Refundable?

For clients, non-refundable deposits can sometimes feel restrictive or unfair, especially if plans change. However, they’re a protective measure for the vendor, helping ensure their business remains viable even if some bookings fall through.

In essence, a retainer isn’t a scam but rather a way for vendors to guarantee their time and resources are valued and accounted for, given the unpredictable nature of booking-based work.

What are your thoughts on retainers?

All I can say is wow.
Worked with a fabulous vendor team for C&S's wedding.
Pure perfection 💜

One of the top ten trends for weddings in 2025/ 2026 is fabric draping and styling. Let’s just say we are old pros at this one. Here is the amazing list of vendors that put together this stunning winter wedding Planner:

TWO MONTHS!

How can this be Mimi?
That really snuck up on us!

Working with Mimi & Adam this last 15 months has been ABSOLUTELY wonderful!

Their vision (which I am so-in-love with) has been so fun and exciting to work on.
Curating everything from florals, to table settings to beautifully designed stationery... Dear Readers, I think Lady Whistledown would certainly approve

For those of you who know what that means.. you MUST be as excited as I am 😉.
