What are your fees?
Before we give you a quotation for your event, let’s talk about what your requirements are for a successful event.
You’ll be in touch, so that we can coordinate with you regarding your time, hours, and liaise on specific items, but we’ll also work to your budget and plan accordingly.
If there’s anything I can’t provide, I’ll let you know and we’ll find someone else to do it.

Why do I need an event planning?
An experienced event planner can save you money and time by handling everything for you. We will provide reputable suppliers and vendors, negotiate the best rates, discounts, terms and conditions on your behalf, and co-ordinate all aspects of your event.
Using an event planner takes away the stress and worry, and gives you the peace of mind to enjoy your event.
.
What’s the difference between event design and event planning?
Event design and event planning work hand in hand to deliver a successful event.
Event design involves bringing your event to life with appropriate colours, themes, seating, etc., whereas event planning co-ordinates the logistic elements and budget management.

.
How do you keep budgets on track?
Keeping track of everything we spend money on is important to us. Keeping aside a budget to cater for emergency contingencies and constant monitoring and updating spreadsheets are some of the things done to do this.
.
What factors do you consider when selecting a venue?
We take into consideration the size and capacity of venue needed, facilities provided, parking, technical needs, and budgetary constraints.
We visit venues to check on the quality of the facilities and liaise with clients, making sure they know what’s happening.
.
How early do we need to start planning an event?
Event planning is so much more than throwing a party and hiring some fancy tables and chairs.
Sometimes venues, suppliers, and vendors need to be booked well in advance, as with reputable establishments and businesses.
When you’re planning a party you need to get out of the way and let the professionals take care of things.
There are times when we need to have adequate time to factor in back up plans, to negotiate, plan and ensure all the details are in place for your big day.
.
Can you cope with last minute changes of plan or emergency situations?
We deal with the unexpected.
We build in contingencies for all our events and are always developing plans to cope with emergencies.
You’re in good hands.
What is your refund and cancellation policy?
Things happen sometimes which are out of your control.
If your event is canceled, then it is imperative that you discuss this with your event planner as soon as possible. Early discussions can help ensure that you get the full refund.
We will make sure that we have enough information before entering into contracts with you and that we liaise with you in the unfortunate event of an event being canceled.
We believe it is very important to have a clear understanding of all the parties involved.
Our best service to you comes in the form of customer satisfaction. We try to maintain a professional relationship with our vendors and suppliers and strive to provide excellent service to our customers.
No event is too small and all our clients matter, so give us a call or contact us through the website. We would be very happy to work with you.
