Photographer,
We'd like to offer you a very special opportunity to showcase your work at our upcoming event! We're looking for up and coming vendors interested in exchanging their services for promotion to our hundreds of guests. We are talking to several vendors in your category and wanted to give you a chance at this opportunity.
Our wedding will be held on [BUSY DATE] at [FANCY COUNTRY CLUB]. We have many friends that are looking to get married in the near future, as a fabulous network of guests who can share your business with their own friends and family. To promote you business at the wedding we are offering our selected vendors a featured ad in our program and a special table where you can display your materials and leave your business cards. I hope you can see what a great chance this is to grow your business.
Regards,
Bride*
