- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1) Set up a consultation call (or meeting) to get an idea of: - What is currently done - What still needs to be done - What you need me to do 2) Based on that call I put together a price quote and email it to you to review. *You realize that working together would be magical* 3) I request a 20% deposit to hold the date and get to work, which includes (and this varies based on your needs): - Setting up a time to view the venue - Contacting vendors to get competitive bids for your event - Picking the best valued vendors to work with - Creating a day of timeline - Etc...
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
While I have no professional training, I have 10+ years of hands on experience. I think anyone will tell you, that event with the best in-class training, what you learn to do through experience is just as valuable. To support what I do in events, I attained a B.A. in Business Marketing and a M.A. in Public Relations. I also have experience in graphic design and web development which comes in handy for event communication - which is something I specialize in. So, when it comes to event planning in general, I can execute all aspects from conception to completion, and I can creatively find way to communicate the upcoming event to the event audience.
