Depending on how far the vendor has to travel, there is sometimes a travel fee attached. For instance, if the vendor has to travel an hour and a half to get to where you are, that's iii hours they can't earn money from another job. If the fee is too high, consider someone more local or someone with lower fees.
I'm a PT massage therapist and this is why I didn't travel to people's homes. A i hr massage ended upwards costing me 3 hours of time between getting to the home, schlepping all my equipment and time setting up and then packing it all up and traveling home, not to mention the cost of gas.

The photographer is booked for the day regardless of the travel. If a MU Artist has to travel, she or he may not be able to book another job that day due to the travel time.

My MUA is the only vendor I have that is charging a travel fee. She is about 45 minutes away from my venue too. Merely her travel fee is much less than yours. I'm beingness charged$46.50 for travel/mileage. I would proceed looking or negotiate or question a$225 travel fee.

All of my vendors had a travel fee because we were "out in the country" in Hawaii, just but $50 each. Are they peradventure mistakenly charging the travel fee per person?

We were able to find vendors from nearby cities that didn't take travel fees. all of our vendors are traveling virtually 45 minutes to the town we are getting married in. Some vendors had them simply there are also a lot that don't so possibly look for more than local vendors!

My MUA is charging $90 for her round trip travel fee. She is 45 miles abroad, then $1 per mile driven, there and back.

That seems like a loftier fee but I wonder if the 45 minutes x two (plus the time to load and unload his/her car with the supplies needed on both ends) precludes this person from taking another job on the day of your wedding? I'd try to find someone closer if I were in your shoes!

I think I paid $200 for travel fees for my HMUA. It'due south not uncommon, and I don't think it'south out of line—I think it's the kind of thing that varies by region. I also paid travel fees for my musician, I think photographer, and a delivery fee for my block and flowers. It's a service, so they charge. I could accept gone to the salon, simply to me it was worth it to not have to run around, so that's the equation—is it worth that to you? And really when y'all think of time and gas and having to schlep everything, it's somewhat understandable. I retrieve those who but do on site weddings HMU build that into their fees, whereas others don't.

Sounds similar it's going to be a lot of piece of work for her to bring all of her stuff to you lot, so I would approximate that'southward why there is such a higg fee.. Most of the time when people include travel fees, that's but what it cost them, whether in actual fuel, mileage on their vehicle, or only manifestly time. I expect people to pay travel to utilize when they are coming a altitude so I don't have to become to them, so While information technology seems rather high, I completely understand why they do it.

To me that seems actually high. My MUA charges $30 for 50 miles, merely she also does this as side piece of work.

That seems a fiddling steep for a travel accuse. My HMUA charges fifty¢ a mile for travel, which put our travel charge at $37 for 74 miles circular trip as we are exterior of her no-charge travel zone. This was typical for other artists in my surface area. I could see a travel charge of $225 if they are super far from your venue, like a several hour drive each fashion, but non that much if they are relatively shut. You may desire to look into other HMUA or ask her what the travel charge consists of and then you know what you're paying for.

Yikes! That seems high. Mine was $60 for her travel fees (can't remember if her bulldoze was 30 or lx min each way).
VIP November 2018
Yeah, that's high, simply I imagine she charges that because she's in high demand and tin can accuse it. She's probably really good and that's why you want to rent her, yeah? I mean, at that place'due south a reason an upscale salon charges more than Super Cuts, too.

Information technology's true is is proficient she did my makeup at the MAC shop that she works at once and loved how she did it so I asked her to do my bridal makeup just wasn't expecting a travel fee of that extent on elevation of makeup fee merely she is practiced.
