FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not have a standard fee. My fee is determined based on the size of the event and the needs of the client. The majority of my work has been word of mouth, which to me is the best form of advertising. Unlike most event planners, we start working with you from the moment you sign the contract, until you leave for your honeymoon. I also do not charge my clients to use the decor I have in my inventory (cylinders, votives, easels, signs, etc.). Our passion is in the details and making your special event a day to remember, while staying within your budget.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
This is probably a little "old school" but I like to meet with my potential clients to show them what I can do and see if it's a fit. So much of what I do is based on personal preferences and capturing moments and memories that will last a lifetime, so for me, meeting someone and spending time with them helps me to get to know them and really understand what they're looking for.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started planning parties 15 years ago when I helped plan a tea party for my niece's 5th birthday. Tea parties are still one of my favorite party themes. Shortly after, I helped coordinate a wedding for my cousin and I knew event planning was something I wanted to do long term. It started out as a hobby and I'm now going into my 12th year. I absolutely love everything about planning an event, but most of all, I love seeing my clients reaction at the end of the day and know I've made their vision a reality.
