Structure your offerings into three clearly differentiated tiers:

The table below outlines package pricing, deliverables, and gross margin targets for a 500-guest wedding in India:

To ensure package profit margins remain intact, enforce three operational guardrails:

• 1. Explicit Line-Item Boundaries: The contract must specify exact floral varieties (e.g. 'Local Marigold and Carnations; Imported Orchids/Lilies available as paid addendum').
• 2. The Written Addendum Protocol: Any request for extra stage width or extended DJ hours is documented on a digital Addendum Quote via WhatsApp with upfront payment approval.
• 3. Capped Electrical & Generator Hours: Include 4 hours of air conditioning pre-cooling and 4 hours of DG backup in the package; additional runtime billed via submeter.
