I’ve got a couple of newsworthy notes I wanted to pass along to everyone.
First, I am closing my books on Saturday weddings through December 4. That means, I am booked full on Saturdays this season with the exception of a couple of vacation Saturdays I’ve kept open for myself, through December 4th! I could not have done this without all of the wonderful clients I’ve been blessed with this year. I will still accept a handful of Friday or Sunday dates this season – but those will be limited in number as well to keep my workload in check. So if you have a Friday or Sunday date in 2010 and are still considering my services, hop to it! 
Saturday dates from December 11 onward are still open for booking (if the date is open, that is!). 2011 weddings are already booking in at a good clip.
In other news related to booking weddings with SDP, we have changed our retainer amount, effective immediately, to a flat $500 fee. The old policy was to require 30% of the cost of the wedding package, however, we offer such a wide range of packages now that I felt it was more fair to institute a flat rate for the retainer. The balance due still remains due 7 days before your wedding date. Of course, you can pay any amount towards your wedding at any time, and with every payment received you will be sent an updated invoice showing the current balance due.
Again, thank you all SO much for your support and I am so incredibly excited for 2010, which officially kicks off with a vengeance April 24th!
