FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Flower prices change seasonally and I always recommend having the initial consultation in the floral cooler. Many other services are stream lined such as planning services, photo booth services and linens. Linens only vary by the type of fabric.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
The David Tutera Conference in Las Vegas (annually).
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began planning events for the University of St. Thomas while I was a student there. In return for my services I was paid in credit hours. Which to any student this is better than money itself! I did this for 3 years and was able to get 60 credit hours paid for which is about 1/2 of the college tuition. I had a blast doing it and it became a passion of mine. It allowed me to tap into my creative side (as I was a prelaw major!). I then got a job working in hotels and event venue as well as for caterers and photographers while receiving my Masters in Restaurant and Hotel Management at University of Houston. I have enjoyed all of the aspects of the event industry but planning, managing and decorating is my all time passion and brings me the most enjoyment. I get to know my clients on a personal level and make lots of new friends along the journey of each event.
