Michael set up decorations for our wedding.
Scope of responsibilities included:
- picking up items,
- staging decor in prescribed locations in the venue, and
- proposing vases, lighting, and other decor solutions.
It was a good experience overall, but we were a little disappointed that the finished product drifted from our instructions.
The highlights of hiring Michael were:
- early and insightful advice / recommendations on practical things (i.e. Ladders, extension cords, etc.) specific to the venue.
- response time and flexibility during the planning process
- competitive rates
Michael missed a few key instructions during the setup and a guest for our reception had to jump in and review/correct his work. Some misses could not be fixed and were present for the reception. These misses were far from catastrophic, but significant enough for my wife to notice. All in, they had no impact -- we and our guests still had a blast-- but looking back, we are disappointed because we had spent so much time preparing detailed instructions, drawings, sample photos, and floorplans.
I'd work with Michael again as long as we could develop a system or have a plan to improve Michael's time management and attention to detail.
