FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard hourly rate is $35-45 with a 4 hour minimum plus gratuity. Customary gratuity ranges from $50-125 for a 4-8hr shift. A 50% non-refundable deposit will secure your date. I can craft a package or a la carte menu price for your event.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I have a preliminary conversation to get the event basics then work up a first draft quote. After reviewing the quote together I revise the quote and send a final version. If it is acceptable then the client sends a deposit to secure their date. I follow up within a month or two weeks of the event to confirm guest count and any changes that may have arisen. Depending on the changes there may be an additional deposit required but usually changes are taken care of with the final invoicing at the end of the event. Above all, I am willing to take the time to make sure you feel comfortable with the planning process and ensuring you can enjoy your event whatever type of event it is.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
