Sales Revenue I plan to plan one wedding a month. Each wedding will cost about $28,000. There is nothing that can be returned so I plan to make $336,000 a year. If anything were to go wrong they would get 25% discount back for our lack of making their day what they wanted. That is $7,000 off of each wedding. If I plan on having one wedding per month than that is $84,000. If this were to happen for each month, in one year I would make $252,000.
