“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”
Henry David Thoreau
Self-employed creatives can talk about price and fee until the end of time. I’ve had celebrants privately, publicly, to my face, and behind my back, make all of the comments about why I charge too much, or not enough, and how that’s a problem, or an opportunity.
Everyone has an opinion on price.
Because our price is so closely linked to our soul, our heart, our skill, and as Henry says: the amount of life you exchange.
How much life are you exchanging per wedding? Are you charging a fair price, or giving away your most valuable asset for free?
