Here in the United States it is not at all unusual to meet at a venue, especially if it is the one the bride is using for her reception or if it is one she is considering.

Beach weddings in Sporades, Greece sound beautiful – any challenges in doing them there?

You have the ideal situation with having your own office. However many wedding planners work out of an office in their homes and don’t want to meet with people there. Renting office space in most cities can be very expensive but there are executive offices that can be rented for a day that are pretty affordable. I think if you can meet in the quiet lobby of a high-end hotel, it’s fine. Or if the couple already have their venue or are seriously considering a particular venue, that would work as a meeting place also. I wouldn’t suggest eating a meal while you are on a first meeting though, you don’t want to be wondering if you are practicing the proper table manners, have food in your teeth, or would offend someone if you ordered meat and they are vegetarians. Also, I don’t suggest meeting in coffee houses, like Starbucks, because they are too noisy and other people can hear what you say.

Does this answer your question?

I always appreciate your comments.

Thanks,
