FAQ
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS + EVENTS?
ABSOLUTELY YES! Traveling is one of our biggest passions, and if you feel the same, I'm sure we will be fast friends!
HOW MANY EVENTS DO YOU TAKE ON IN A YEAR? HOW FAR OUT SHOULD WE BOOK YOU?
Because of the high level of involvement of myself and my team into each one of our events, we reserve our time investment for only a handful of events a year, with our target goal of 8-12 events annually.
Our clients come to us at every stage of the process: sometimes before they are engaged, sometimes with four months or less before the big day. We can make magic happen at any time during the planning process with even the shortest notice, heavily relying on our trusted team of professional creatives to pull through for us! However, our typical clients hire us right around the one year mark.
DO I HAVE TO WORK WITH YOUR PREFERRED VENDORS?
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with creatives all over the country - so our preferred list of vendors we use as a tool. Our preferred vendors are tried and true professionals that love their job as much as we do and are experts in their craft, that we stand behind 100%! We will make faithful recommendations to you based on your event goals and financial targets for vendors that we believe are a good fit from our experience, but if you have someone in mind you've been dying to work with, let us know! We always love making new friends in the business.
WHO WILL I BE IN CONTACT WITH THROUGHOUT THE PLANNING PROCESS?
It takes a village to make our events as seamless and spectacular as they should be! As the company owner, Eileen is the principal planner and designer and works to oversee the big picture of each of our projects - driving the design vision, the financial goals, choosing the perfect team of creatives to collaborate with us, making executive decisions, and so much more. She is in touch directly with all of our clients throughout the process, but each one of our team of event producers is also communicating directly with our clients as well as our vendor teams on a daily basis. Depending on the package you have booked or who you have been assigned as your lead planner, you will hear from everyone on our team pretty consistently, and we are readily available to you when you need a phone call, meeting, or anything at all. Because we are intentional with the number of events we take on, our entire team of experts is able to address your needs.
HOW MANY EVENT PRODUCERS WILL BE WORKING MY EVENT?
The number of event producers from our team varies from event to event, but at a minimum you can expect your lead planner + designer, plus one to two assistants on a typical event day. For event weekends featuring multiple event days in a row, the number of event producers will necessarily increase, and for guest counts in excess of 250 guests with multiple locations in a single event day, we will also add additional team members to ensure high quality service and oversight for all the moving parts over the course of the event experience.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I EXPECT TO BUDGET FOR MY EVENT?
It is easiest to think of the overall budget in terms of price per person, rather than an overall target budget amount. The guest list is the single biggest driving factor of the budget - so the closer you are able to whittle down the guest list to the actual number of people you would like to attend, the better! To determine your per person dollar figure, divide your overall target budget by the number of anticipated guests you'd like to attend - and there you'll have your estimated price per person.
We work with events of all guest counts and overall target budgets, so please contact us to make sure your expectations for your event are in line with your target budget in our complimentary initial consultation.
