FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
~Event Pricing~ My base rate includes event service/performance time only. It doesn't include factors such as: * out-of-town travel and lodging (I'm based in Austin, Texas) * decor (beyond table, tabletop decor, and three chairs) * incidental costs, such as parking fees For custom decor and/or attire, indirect costs may apply. For example, I wouldn't bill for items that could be used for other events, but disposable items that aren't realistically reusable would be included in overall costs. ~1:1 and 2:1 Consultations~ My rate for consultations including palm and/or card readings is $100/hour. I can offer both in one reading; that said, I can easily fill an hour providing a very comprehensive palm reading for one person. Astrological reports and consultations vary based on the nature of the request; for example, a request for a birth chart and a transit (predictive) report calls for more time and preparation than would a request for a birth chart only.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process includes: 1. Confirming availability, 2. Developing and finalizing an agreement, and 3. Paying for and confirming the appointment. STEP ONE The process can start using one of two methods: 1. Submit a request through my website. 2. Contact me using this site's messaging. You can also reach me through Facebook or Instagram. I can confirm availability and can pencil in the event on my appointment book. The appointment's confirmed after we have an executed Performance Agreement. STEP TWO I'll ask you for more information about the event you're planning or type of consultation you have in mind. Once I understand more about what you'd like, I'll draft and email you a Performance Agreement, which includes two items: a) a proposed scope of work with: details about the event, services, theme dress/decor, etc.; proposed costs. b) a contract containing terms and conditions. These convey important things for you to review and agree to regarding things like venue specifications and conditions, signage and branding, and so on. I provide the draft in Word format so you can easily comment, ask questions, and provide additional details if needed. Once we're both happy with the Agreement, I convert it to PDF for signature. When we've both signed the Agreement, it's considered executed. STEP THREE I send you the executed Agreement and an invoice to be paid within three days of receipt. Once the invoice is paid, the penciled-in event is penned-in (confirmed) on my appointment book. I ask for the full amount to be paid, in one transaction, in advance. It saves everyone time and paperwork. After the Agreement's in place, it's very important that you contact me immediately if any event arrangements change or might change. This way, I can be sure to provide you excellent service and we can re-negotiate if changes are significant to the scope of what you'd like.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I provide card readings, palm readings, astrological consultations, and entertainment services for a wide variety of businesses and audiences ranging from 20 to nearly 2,000 guests. I've worked at conferences, trade shows, fundraisers, celebrations, and recognition events. As a former event planner, I'm easy to work with; I'm accommodating, efficient, and I ask the right questions to be sure I provide what you need. It's very important to me to be sure that I provide a service the event planner never has to worry about (because I've been there and I understand.)
