FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Event planning & design is tough to price out without seeing the many details involved. Every event has a different design, complication level and logistics and staffing and client demands & tastes play a big part in what the price comes to be. A good example of this is...a wedding last July. The wedding reception was to end at Midnight. Set up took 6 hours and tear down had to be done in only 1 hour. Extra staffing was required to meet the venue's time line so that extra money must be added into the cost. Every venue has a different cost and some people may want a prime rib meal served to guests, while others may want chicken or a pasta buffet. End result is costs are equal to desires.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, We continually educate ourselves and our staff on the latest products and techniques. We also give classes here complete with wine and catering so that our clients can enjoy some fun time and get to know our staff.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got into my line of work completely by accident. I was an interior designer for 12 years or so and suddenly clients were asking me to set their tables for parties and some family dinners. Before I knew it I was doing corporate outings and events! I remember the first big event that I designed. The owner of a hotel in Boston was an interior design client. He was having a fund raiser benefit at the hotel and famous NYC designers were making an appearance...it had to be over the top! It was! That is what started this adventure...it took over, and here I am!!!
