FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I really prefer to quote each job separately since every job is different and requires the details of the job to price it accordingly. My hourly rate is $25-30 per hour for most events and for weddings it is usually 10% of the budget.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to talk with people first, find out exactly what they want from their event in preference of look, feel and memories. We would then go over all the details and include color scheme, flower or decoration choices, AV needs, food and beverage needs and any parting gifts needed. At that point I like to look at the venue and take measurements and find out what is possible. We can then meet again to go over recommendations and get final pricing and signed contracts. I can be there every step of the way and will provide the confidence that you deserve.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been an event planner and designer of spaces for 25+ years. I have done simple parties with just hors' d'oeuvres to ground breakings with tents to full blown conferences at convention centers. I can find or source most anything needed since I have worked in the Tampa Bay area since 1986.
