FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes, which I believe is KEY to a wedding planning company! As my company offers a lot of additional services (calligraphy, paper goods, etch), it's helpful to have that in place! Everything is always up for discussion, but there are basic standards for Month-Of, Partial Service, and Full Service packages, as well as Corporate and Social event packages. You can always add on additional services, assistants, or other goods as needed.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love meeting new potential couples! We typically meet at the venue, if chosen, or in a location that is convenient to them. I have 4-5 sheets of material that I like to keep track of from our first meeting, so I can learn as much about the couple and their wedding as possible! Despite what you may think, I find the best insights into a couples' style and preference are sometimes questions that aren't directly related to the wedding--so don't be surprised if I start asking where you like to shop or your favorite ice cream flavors!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated with a Bachelor's in English from Davidson College, where I planned social events within a large social organization. From there, I have 3 years of experience in the corporate world as an Event Specialist. I then started interning with a local, award-winning event company, and progressed from there into the Associate Coordinator, and finally, the Event Planner role. I am still planning with that company as well as my own during the transition to owning my own business full-time, and would be happy to provide you examples of my work there as well as my work with my separate company!
