BEO Pricing Question

[roseviolet]

We recently received our first BEO and we were quite proud of ourselves. We thought we did well and then we started looking at the prices and the math just didn't add up. We made some adjustments and I figured that it would be fixed on the new one. But when we received it their total is more than $2000 less than what we calculate. Has anyone else had this happen to you? Don't get me wrong I would be thrilled with their pricing. I just don't want it to come back and bite us in the butt. I'm getting ready to write to my planner about it but I just wanted to see if this is common and if their accounting system is just cruddy or what!

Hi,

That does sound strange. Is it possible they didn't include the Floral BEO breakdown in the list, but did include it in the total?

Hope you get this worked out soon!

Our regular BEO was pretty close to what we had calculated ourselves. We had no idea how to calculate the floral one so we didn't try. But our math was very close to what Disney came up with.

One caveat, though, is that their info tracking system seems a bit off (so definitely double check everything) as we've had problems getting our address correctly entered into the system and having both of our names being spelled properly. I know they have a lot to keep track of but I have been double and triple checking every single thing they send us, including contracts (and I have found several errors in site contracts and floral contracts.)

I would definitely ask your coordinator about the discrepancy to avoid unpleasant surprises.

They may have not added in the floral, or they may have missed an added page. The floral piece missing sounds familiar. Have you gotten you floral order information yet?

Yup the floral is on there. It was wrong both before the floral was added on and after. I wrote my planner last night and sent her our spreadsheet so she can see what we are talking about. We'll see what happens
