Describe your typical process with a couple.
After initial contact with a couple I like to discuss their expectations and what sort of service they want from me so I can give them a cost. Between one and two months before the big day we have a face to face meeting, ideally this is at the venue so I can see how the day will proceed and spot any potential issues. At any time though the couple can contact me with any changes they want. This can even be during the day itself.

Secretly swapping the wedding car for a tractor and trailer during the ceremony.
