Claudine of Ponderosa Events was the most kind, dependable, thoughtful, thorough, wonderful vendor I had the pleasure of working with. She completely understood my vision and what was important to me while planning my wedding. I could not have been happier with her help in making my wedding day go smoothly and look so beautiful. She accommodated my last minute changes kindly, professionally, and exceeded all of my expectations. If you are looking for someone who loves what they do and truly cares about making your event memorable, you’ve found them in Claudine. She was so easy to work with, made sure to ask questions so she knew exactly how to pull off what we were asking for, and offered more help than I would have thought I needed. She has the experience and know-how that makes you feel like she’s got anything covered, and she did. Every creative liberty she took with the decorations we provided was absolute perfection. She is just the best. Thank you so much Claudine for working with me and my partner, staying to help make sure the wedding went smoothly, and creating the most magical transformation at our venue.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer remote Pre-Planning to complete planning preparations between $150 to $350. Day of Event coordination services include creating timelines, scheduling consultation calls, decorating & rentals, set up/break-down, and timeline implementation for a minimum of $200 for 4 hours up to $400, plus additional fees for decorative creations such as arches, florals, ballooning, centerpieces, etc.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first want to take a few minutes for a complimentary scheduled call to learn about my client's visions, needs, and expectations of the services needed. Not every client or event is the same. Once any questions are answered and contract is sent with the details requested by the client. Once the deposit and contract are submitted, a planner template is sent and the work begins.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Creating and coordinating events has been my passion since high school. With over 30 years of successful events done out of this passion, I became a professional after opening our venue in 2023. I love seeing client's visions come to fruition and as a professional, I bring a friendly and caring approach to client's and guests.
