It can be difficult for a couple to decide to book their wedding with a wedding planner or venue in a different country. Particularly if they haven't met. There's also a trust issue as the couple will be paying large amounts of money to someone they don't know.
One way to help with this is for the wedding planner or venue to
take a
deposit by credit card. As credit cards offer
customer protection for
amounts over £100 and under £30,000, it's one of the
most secure ways for a couple
to pay and have peace of mind.
Also, by paying at least some of the
payment by credit card, the customer is is
covered for the entire amount paid
in case the wedding provider goes bust.

For a wedding provider
accepting credit cards will incur a small additional cost, however, if by
accepting credit cards you
gain additional bookings, any
fees would more than pay for themselves.
