FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing system is not complicated. My initial price always includes: 1) Up to 4 hours of services (4 is the minimum) 2) Equipment 3) MC services 4) LED Lighting 5) Setup, Teardown & Transportation Add-on services (requiring different pricing) 6) Karaoke 7) Monogram Lighting 8) Uplighting (lights shown up from the floor, typically along the walls) I currently do not offer a projector or photo booth. Both services can be rented at your expense and I can make the contact with those companies for you. I also do not use any fog/haze/smoke machine due to many venues no longer allowing such devices.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Of course, each event and each client is unique, but the typical process when hiring my services are... 1) You make a request. I quote that request. 2) Initial phone consultation or email correspondence. 3) Face-to-face or teleconference meeting 4) Contract and deposit paid 5) Delivery of event planning packet 6) Planning meeting (phone or in person) to organize and finalize details such as timeline and song request list. 7) Call any vendors that I need to coordinate with on the day of the event 8) The Day Of The Event! 9) Client leaves a nice review on how The Formal Affair helped make their party an amazing event It's really much simpler than it sounds. LOL!
