General
Q: What types of events do you specialize in?
A: I plan and design all types of celebrations! Every event is customized to your vision; nothing “cookie-cutter” here.
Q: Where are you based, and do you travel for events?
A: I’m based in Edmonton, Alberta, and serve clients throughout Alberta.
Q: Do you offer both décor and planning services?
A: Yes! You can book me for full planning, coordination, or décor-only services. Many clients choose both to keep the style and logistics cohesive.
Booking & Process
Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: The sooner, the better, ideally 6–12 months for weddings and 3–6 months for smaller events. Dates book up fast, especially during peak season (May–September).
Q: How do I book my event with you?
A: Start by filling out the inquiry form on my contact page. I’ll reach out to schedule a consultation to discuss your vision, budget, and needs before sending a customized proposal.
Q: Do you require a deposit?
A: Yes. A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due two weeks prior to your event.
Q: What happens after I book?
A: Once you’re booked, you’ll receive a design questionnaire, a mood board (for décor clients), and a planning timeline (for coordination clients). We’ll stay in touch regularly to ensure every detail is covered.
Décor & Design
Q: Can you recreate a design I found on Pinterest or Instagram?
A: Pinterest is a great inspiration tool, but I don’t do exact replicas. I’ll use your inspiration to create a design that fits your venue, theme, and budget.
Q: Do you provide all décor items, or do I need to rent separately?
A: I provide all décor items from my in-house inventory or through my trusted vendor partners. You don’t need to worry about sourcing anything, this is all covered in your cost.
Q: Can I make changes to my décor after booking?
A: Absolutely, within reason! Final décor adjustments are typically finalized 3–4 weeks before your event.
Planning & Coordination
Q: What’s the difference between a planner and a coordinator?
A: A planner helps you from start to finish: booking vendors, managing timelines, and designing the full vision. A coordinator steps in 4–6 weeks before your event to handle logistics, confirm vendors, and make sure your day runs smoothly.
Q: I already booked my vendors. Can you still help?
A: Yes! You can hire me just for coordination to tie everything together and ensure a seamless event.
Q: Will you be there on the day of the event?
A: Absolutely. I (and my team) are always onsite during setup, execution, and takedown.
Other Common Questions
Q: What’s your pricing like?
A: Pricing varies depending on the event type, scale, and services required. Every quote is fully customized after your consultation to ensure you’re only paying for what you actually need.
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes, flexible payment schedules are available to make budgeting easier.
Q: What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
A: Life happens. Deposits are non-refundable, but if you reschedule, I’ll do my best to accommodate your new date based on availability.
