FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The pricing generally depends on the size and need of your event, but I am always willing to work with a client if there are special circumstances. I offer discounts for those serving our country.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You always have to start with getting to know your client. Sitting down and just getting a feel for who they are and what they envision. After that I can open up about what I kind’ve envision for them based on their own descriptions. Following of course necessary legal paperwork we can meet/talk a few times a week I will always be open to attending visits of venues and vendors. I will be involved with guest count, gifting, vendor set up and coordination. And work on the front lines for my client.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Professional certification in weddings and event coordination/planning, and 4 years experience.
