FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing varies based on the need of services, and size of event. Please contact me with any questions.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For full service event or wedding coordination/planning; I believe it is important to meet in person, if possible, for initial introductions and also take the time to have a brain-storming session together. It's important to hear all of your ideas and visions (even the big, outlandish ones) so I can get a feeling for what is important to you, what you enjoy, and then begin work on finding feasible options and arrangements within your budget. Depending on the duration of time from initial meeting to event date, we would want to plan a site visit, a catering tasting (if applicable), and at least one more in-person meeting prior to the event to finalize our plan, button up any last minute wants or concerns, and then toast to the Big Day! I am always available by text or email throughout our time together to address any changes, concerns, or just in need of a pep-talk!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in the Event Industry for 13 years, with 6 years of independent Wedding and Party Planning. I began as a Student Event Manager throughout my Bachelor's program at the University of Missouri - Kansas City (UMKC), and additionally worked on the Banquets and Catering team at Brio Tuscan Grille on the Kansas City Plaza. After graduating, I accepted a full-time position at UMKC as an Operations Manager, and was promoted to Lead Event and Conferencing Coordinator; where I remained for 5 years. I took another opportunity to expand my knowledge and skillset in the event world after UMKC; and for the past 4 years I have worked in Live Event Production and Audio/Visual Production.
