FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is based on the event, but can range from $200-500 as the planning fee. The extent of the event, number of hours projected to plan, budget, and hands-on details all play into the fee.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I receive a new customer inquiry, I will meet with the client and/or guest(s) of honor to learn about the scope of the event. From there, I will craft a contract for that specific event outlining what services I offer and what the pricing will be. If both parties find that it is a good match, we will have another in-depth meeting to discuss "must haves" at the event, guest list, food, themes, decor, and so forth; at this meeting I will present 2 style boards to convey the look of the event to see if I am on track. I then put together a budget for review with the client which they have to sign off on. Once the budget is signed, the planning begins. I research, shop, and create materials. I also create a day-of coordination schedule for the day of the event. From there, I set up the event on the day-of and clean-up the event.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was certified as a Wedding and Event Designer through the Event Leadership Institute in 2017.
