FAQ's
How much are your decor packages?
Your celebration is as unique as you are, which is why we don't offer set packages! Every event is customized and priced à la carte as we take into account guest counts, location, and your design preferences to create a tailored proposal. Our event minimums are $7,000 for spring and summer events held from April to October, and $5,000 for winter and fall events from January to March and November to December. However, larger grand scale transformations can exceed $20,000. We understand that every client's needs and desires are different, so let's chat about your vision and craft a personalized plan together!

What do I need to work together?
There are a few things that are helpful to have ready before we begin working together. The most important pieces of information we need is your date and venue. We can not confirm availability and logistics without this, so make sure to have this confirmed. Other than that, we would love to know your estimated guest count, budget, outfit colors/theme colors and review photos and ideas of your style!
How Far in Advance Do We Book?
We are committed to giving you our undivided attention and service on your special day. This means we consciously make the decision to only take one event per day. This ensures you receive nothing but the best! However, as a result, our calendar does fill up quickly. If your event is scheduled for this year, availability remains on a first-come-first-serve basis. When you're ready to confirm your booking, we kindly request a 50% retainer along with a signed contract to secure our services. For events next year, we begin booking in early fall. We currently have a waitlist of interested clients for the upcoming year. Feel free to send an inquiry to get on the list and be the first to know when we open up bookings. Are you ready to book? Visit our contact page to fill out the inquiry form today!
Do you have insurance?
Absolutely! We understand the importance of protecting your event. Having insurance gives you peace of mind knowing that unforeseen circumstances are covered. If your venue requires it, simply provide us with your venue information, and we'll promptly request a Certificate of Insurance to be sent before your big day. Having insurance not only ensures compliance with venue requirements but also offers protection for you and your guests. In the unlikely event of accidents or damages, insurance provides financial coverage and helps mitigate risks, allowing you to focus on enjoying your celebration without worries. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance regarding insurance for your event.
