FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I create all pricing on a per-client basis. I believe no two clients are the same therefore no two events are the same. Therefore placing a client in a standard package won't always fit their needs and situation. It is my goal to learn about their vision and needs and develop packages to give them options on which services they want to move forward with. After meeting in person most clients go with my full planning packages as they learn they can trust me in creating an event that's personal to them and will wow their guests.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new customer I first ask general questions to get an idea of the type of event and their needs. I always ask for date or date range to make sure I have an opening on my schedule. If I do and I am able to help the customer I scheduling an in-person free consultation (FaceTime if the client prefers) so I can ask appropriate questions related to the event and get to know the clients needs, style, and vision (or learn they'd like help to create a vision). With this information I supply custom packages tailored to their needs.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I believe I started by nature. I have always been a planner all my life and would constantly look for solutions in situations. My nature and desire for design and function paired perfectly to plan events. In 2011 I begin volunteering with a large non-profit and handled many of their events including weddings. I was quickly promoted to oversee events and began doing my own events for close family and friends in 2013. After years of guests who attended events I put on asking me to their own events, I decided it was time to offer my services to the public and begin charging. I have been fortunate to get many referrals from my clients who were happy with their event and the guests who attended the events. I am thankful for each one of them.
