How to price this for your client
A repeatable three-step workflow — every proposal, every client, every wedding.

2. Apply your markup multiplier
Set your studio markup (2.5x–3.5x is standard) once in your Fiory account. Every recipe built with these stems inherits that markup automatically — no manual math, no pricing mistakes.
3. Generate the proposal PDF
