FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Transparent & Upfront All prices are clearly outlined with no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what’s included before committing. Customizable Packages Every event is unique, so pricing is based on the level of support you need—whether virtual coordination, day-of management, or full planning. Travel Costs If travel is required outside my local area, those expenses (like mileage, lodging, or rental car) are factored in fairly and shared upfront. Deposit & Payment Plans A deposit (usually around 30%) secures your date, with the remaining balance due closer to the event. Flexible payment plans are available to make budgeting easier. Value Over Cost My pricing reflects the time, expertise, and attention to detail I provide—saving you stress, preventing costly mistakes, and ensuring your event runs seamlessly. No Surprise Add-Ons If additional services are requested beyond your package, I’ll always provide an updated quote before proceeding.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initial Consultation (Free) We start with a call or meeting to discuss your event vision, needs, and budget. This helps me understand your priorities and determine the right service package for you. Customized Proposal & Quote After our consultation, I’ll provide a tailored proposal outlining services, pricing, and what’s included. Booking & Deposit Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll sign an agreement and secure your date with a deposit (typically 30%). Planning & Coordination You’ll receive a personalized planning guide, timeline, or checklist (depending on your package). We’ll keep in touch with regular check-ins to ensure everything is on track. Vendor communication and confirmations are handled (if included in your package). Final Walkthrough/Meeting About 4–6 weeks before your event, we’ll do a full review of your plans, confirm details, and finalize the timeline. Event Day Management On your big day, I’ll be on-site (or virtually available) to manage vendors, direct flow, troubleshoot, and make sure everything runs seamlessly—so you can enjoy stress-free moments. Post-Event Wrap-Up I’ll check in after your event to ensure everything met expectations and gather feedback for future improvements.
