Description
You know what you charge for a wedding. But do you know what you actually earn per hour once every email, site visit, sourcing trip, late-night revision and pack down is counted? Most wedding pros do not, and the wedding that looked like the best booking of the year often turns out to be the one that paid the least.
This tracker gives you a simple, printable system to measure time and true profit on every wedding, then use those numbers to fix your pricing and packages.
Inside you will find:
- Why revenue is not profit, and how to use the tracker in three layers
- A wedding file details page for each booking
- A time estimate by phase table, from enquiry to final invoice, with estimated against actual hours
- A daily time log for you and your team
- A direct costs log, plus a checklist of the costs most people forget
- A step-by-step true hourly rate calculation, including gross margin and estimate accuracy
- A target hourly rate worksheet to set the number you are aiming for
- Package comparison and add-on tables to see which offers really make money
- Signs a package is leaking time
- A quarterly review worksheet and a decisions table for next quarter
It is built for wedding planners, stylists, florists, coordinators and any wedding business owner who is busy all season and still not sure where the money went. It works whether you are solo or managing a small team.
After one season with this tracker, you will know your real hourly rate on every package. You will see which phases overrun, which add-ons are worth selling and which packages need a higher price or tighter inclusions. Your quotes get more accurate, your yes becomes more selective, and your calendar starts working for your income instead of against it.
Print one set per wedding and review every quarter. Tax and accounting decisions stay with your own accountant; this tracker gives you the clear numbers to take to them.
