Wedding Careers With Chroma Shake

How are your vendors selected for projects?


There are many different ways that our professionals can be selected for a job. One of the easiest ways to be selected is by popular demand. Often people will see you work at one client's wedding and want you for their own. The power of word of mouth is amazing. Many times a former client might make a referral to a friend, which again, might want the same professionals to work at their wedding.

Another way that your services may be requested is when we allow the potential clients to review work from our professionals. This often allows them to pick the style and shooter ( If it is photography services they are requesting ) that best fits them. If they feel you are the best pick then we'll give you a call. Unfortunately, there is only one of you; so if you are already booked for that date we may have to provide them with a professional with similar qualities. ( Which is one reason why it's important that we have samples of your work to show.)

Of course, often we have clients that book with us whom trust our judgement as to which professional we decide to send out. We only intend to have a handful of professionals, so each Chroma Shake professional has the opportunity to make a living. If there isn't enough work to go around, we'll let you know ahead of time. You are only booked on the dates you commit to. We never book you without asking if you are available first.

We also send out quality rating cards to our clients, allowing them to rate our performance and professionalism. If you get great reviews then as you can imagine, you'll find yourself at the top of many lists. If you flake out and get poor reviews then surely, you're booted off the island. Every story has two sides to it, so we try to keep that in mind, but our main interest is client satisfactory.
