With working in the wedding industry for the past 7 years, I have learnt all about different people and cultures. Everyone is so different in how you can relate to them, so initial meetings I would quickly feel out my consultations... How can I relate to them so they feel comfortable to trust me. Some people liked the extremely professional touch, while others preferred to think of you as their wedding best friend that would not lead them astray. It's important to learn about your clientele, for example I did a fair amount of Jewish weddings. I knew nothing about Jewish weddings but I just researched and asked questions and now I know what a chuppah is, or shabbot dinner or why their weddings are only on a sunday. I guess it comes down to taking the time to learn about different people and using personal experience as a way to adapt.
