FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Day of Coordinating only, is charged at an hourly rate. Planning and day of coordinating, is charged at a package price. (Package price is based on size of event, number of guest, location and any supporting events included. (i.e. showers, or rehearsal dinners.) For events booked more than one month in advance I do require a deposit. For day- of coordinating only, the deposit is 20% of overall negotiated rate. For planning and coordinating , the deposit is 50% of overall negotiated rate.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After the client accepts my quote, I will touch base over the phone asking basic questions about their needs. After that, we will meet in person either at the venue, or a coffee house to discuss details in person. If this is a planning client, I will meet with them several times before the event to finalize details. For day- of coordination I typically only meet with clients once at the venue before the event and discuss other details over the phone.
