Wouldn’t you enjoy getting your makeup done in the comfort of your own home? Most of my clients like the ability to continue getting ready once they have received beauty services, instead of having to drive across town and get back home…. they can just continue getting ready for their special occasion (or in some cases, I assist them until they walk out the door).

So let’s talk about travel fees and hospitality fees. When you book a vendor, in most cases, they have to travel to you and get back home or to their office. Think of what all goes into operating a vehicle; gas, maintenance, oil changes, tune ups, insurance, tire rotation, car payments, etc.; all of these things have to be considered when one travels to clients. Travel fees mainly cover gas, however if we travel for a living, we have more than the normal wear and tear on our vehicle. So when you you see a travel fee on your invoice, and you’re only 15 mins away; remember if I didn’t have a car, I wouldn’t be able to get to you at all.

Hospitality Fees, for me are incurred when I need to stay overnight due to having to arrive early or due to leaving late. It is also is incurred when I’m traveling over a period of time; meals may be included in the hospitality fees. For some vendors, you may not see a travel/hospitality fee because you have received a blanket amount due. Personally, I don’t do that because the blanket wouldn’t be fair to me if you are further away or your cost will be too much if you’re closer to me. I have to put me first and be at my very best to provide you with services. If I have been up since 6am and I am leaving your reception at 8pm, I deserve a room, lol. Because of how I service my brides and are there with them from the morning til the time they’re shaking a tail feather at the reception, making sure they’re picture ready; I need to rest before I drive back home if I need to travel a ways to get to you.
