FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing will always vary considering some events/weddings may be more work than others. I always price fairly and will never charge you for anything you do not approve of first. Consult pricing is to secure that you are serious about hiring a planner and covers my time & travel, plus any research I may need to do for our consult. Any upfront retainer is always subtracted from the final cost.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have at least a 30-45 minute consulting session to really understand my clients' vision. At times, a quick brainstorm between us is all that my client may need to get their planning going. Usually, after the consultation, it gets the creative juices flowing and I will allow about 3 days for the ideas to pile up before I contact the client again to finalize any needed tasks to build a sturdy foundation for the event. From that moment forward I am my client's right-hand woman throughout the process, from handshake to handshake.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I took an online course to receive my certification in Event and Wedding planning. During the courses, I also practiced what I learned by helping whoever in my community needed an extra hand with their events. Since then I have coordinated 2 conferences, 3 weddings and countless smaller events such as grand openings and community gatherings.
