FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing varies depending on how simple or detailed the event is. Please call to set up a consult for further prices and services. Typically for day of services average cost is 650-1100 and complete planning is anywhere from 3500-5000 depending on the size of venue and many intricate components of the events. A lot of man hours goes into perfect events!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will first speak to the client over the phone to hear there basic ideas. From there, I set up an in person meeting which is mandatory before I proceed further. I do this because I find most want more ideas than they do a planner. So intent to give them a rough idea on their dream instead of revealing the whole dream. They then have a tendency to take those ideas and decide they no longer need the planner. So, I offer visual aids so they can see what direction the event is going in. Once everything is agreed upon contracts must be signed and a deposit of earnest money must be paid before any work is started. All earnest money goes towards their event. The payment arrangements are 1/3 at signing of contract; 1/3 four months before and the final payment due the week before the event.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a certificate in event planning from a local junior college and presently take online classes for corporate planning, wedding design & coordination and business law. I have an Associate Degree in Business and Nursing.
