Some brides can be extremely cranky from nervousness; family can argue; brides change their minds about invitations, flowers, DJs, etc., and families can fight over what is the best or not. You charge too much. They may not like the food (afterwards.) You didn't give them enough time in between certain traditions of the bridal ceremony and photographer. To be a good bridal consultant you need nerves of steel. There are simple solutions to this problem should the families be arguing over what is best for the bride ..... get the bride and groom alone! If the groom refuses to get involved then have the bride and her mother. Usually all the groom's parents have to pay for is the alcohol and may be kind enough to also pick up the catering bill. Get your percentage fee up-front IMMEDIATELY so you are covered for any expenses needed and collect the rest at the end of the reception. Usually the job of paying the bills to the wedding consultant is up to the Best Man, but also the father of the bride (with exception of the bar bill.) Be sure you tack on 1/2 hour for each traditional event in case of problems occurring (example: the bride is nervous and holding up the ceremony, or, the photographer is taking too long to take pictures. ALWAYS be sure any photographer gets the pictures done and does not pester the bride and groom and take them away from their guests and their own fun for too long. I've seen more photographers ruin a perfectly good wedding. Be sure you get names on the contract or contracts for what menu the bride has chosen, what alcohol is to be served and if they are only paying for 2 drinks for each person or the whole bar bill. Get a contract signed as well for EVERYTHING you do and especially the items on the menu the bride and groom want served at their wedding. Signatures on contracts are worth their weight in gold and they can't argue about anything. This also goes for any flowers ordered by you.

Trial Consultants Offer Attorneys Their Expertise?

Being a trial consultant is not generally a full time job. A trial consultant is brought in to help an attorney make his case during a trial based on knowledge the consultant has in whatever his field is. The consultant earns an hourly rate for his assistance before and during a trial. Some occupations lend themselves more naturally toward opportunities to be a trial consultant. Doctors are frequently used as trial consultants, as are psychologists or counselors, forensics experts or ballistics experts. Almost any occupation carries the possibility of being needed as a trial consultant, depending on the needs of a specific trial. However, in the named professions, an expert has more opportunity to become known as a trial consultant and to perform in that capacity on a regular basis. The key to being a trial consultant is to be considered an expert in a given field. An attorney calls in a consultant to prove a point in his testimony, so he wants to call in someone whose word will be considered authoritative. For this reason, a trial consultant will probably be older, having gained many years of experience in his field. In most cases, a trial consultant needs to be highly educated in his area of expertise, often possessing a PhD or at least a Master’s degree. Someone who’s interested in being a trial consultant needs to decide why he’s doing it, what he hopes to gain and what he’s not willing to lose. Some unethical attorneys offer trial consultants exorbitant amounts of money to testify a certain way about a disputed matter, even if the desired testimony is not necessarily true. A consultant needs to be aware he’s putting his professional reputation on the line if he agrees to such a thing, and he needs to know whether ethics or money is more important to him. If someone is interested in being considered as a trial consultant, he should consider joining the American Society of Trial Consultants. A trial consultant has the option of setting his own hourly rate. This could be anywhere from $75 up to $300 an hour, but $200 is a more average rate.
