FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
FLAT SERVICE FEE: Includes design/planning services, research venue options, securing vendors and on site "day of " set-up. All vendor contracts are signed / paid by client and I coordinate the timelines for load-in, delivery and tear-down with the vendors. (DAY-OF EVENT MGMT: After set-up, a $20/hour charge will be billed for event management) EVENT PERCENTAGE: From concept to conclusion, I handle everything on client's behalf including vendor payments. Client is billed by my company. This saves the client valuable time and money! My fee is a percentage of the overall event cost.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
An initial consultation either via face-to-face meeting or conference call allows for us to discuss exactly what the client is looking for as we vet out details together. I then send a contract with the event needs outlined and request an initial service fee deposit. I then put together a visual presentation with theme/event concepts for our next meeting, while also requesting 'soft holds' on the event date by vendors in which the client will approve prior to booking.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 15-years of event designing, planning and managing experience. I honed my skills while working under the direction early on of one of the best event designers in the business, while assisting in the creation and deployment of high-level events for such clients as Philip Morris, Kraft, Douglas Manchester and more. I continue to master the art of Event Theming, while keeping the integrity of chic and unique. Having had the opportunity to work with distinguished chefs in my career, I understand the craft of designing menus, pairing wines and using these distinctive skills for event preparation. I bring much experience to the table while remaining teachable – a formula I believe is the key to true success.
