The Process

  • Introduction.

    Let's Talk

    The journey begins with a conversation, a pivotal yet often underestimated step in the event planning process. Think of it as the "getting to know you" phase, akin to a dating experience. We embark on a dialogue, asking an array of questions about you and your event. Likewise, we encourage you to inquire about our experience and capabilities. Our aim during this phase is to ensure that our expertise aligns seamlessly with your unique needs. If, for any reason, we're not the perfect fit for your event, rest assured, we'll gladly recommend a more suitable partner.

  • Proposal.

    Finding Common Ground

    Assuming we've established a great match, we move on to the proposal stage. Here, we delve into your specific requirements, the services you need, and our fee structure. To provide you with the best possible proposal, it's essential to determine a general event budget upfront. We wouldn't propose a Maserati when you're looking for a Honda. If the proposed pricing and services align with your vision, we transition to the next phase.

  • Contract.

    Creating a Foundation

    While the word "contract" might sound intimidating, it's not as daunting as it seems. The contract outlines the expectations and responsibilities for both you, the client, and myself. Once the contract is mutually agreed upon and the deposit is paid, we proceed to the project team assignment. Our selection is based on a variety of factors, including personality compatibility, relevant project experience, potential conflict of interests, and availability.

  • First Meeting.

    Getting to Know You Inside Out

    In the first meeting, we take the opportunity to truly understand your vision and event objectives. We delve into the depths of your event, collecting any available historical data to inform our planning and execution.

  • Brainstorming and Creative Phase.

    Unleashing Creativity

    This is where the fun begins! We combine your event objectives with our creative prowess to develop a compelling concept. Once the concept gains your approval, we seamlessly transition to the planning phase.

  • Planning Phase.

    The Nitty-Gritty Details

    The planning phase is where the rubber meets the road. We focus on every intricate detail, including timelines, production schedules, run of shows, contingency plans, and vendor management, to ensure a seamless and successful event.

  • Event Setup.

    Bringing It All Together

    On Install Day, everything comes to life. We oversee the setup, ensuring that all the pieces fall into place for a spectacular event.

  • Event Day.

    Your Time to Shine

    On the day of the event, you get to bask in the spotlight, entertaining your guests and relishing the evening. Meanwhile, we work behind the scenes, attending to every detail. When the event concludes, you head home, while we stay behind to ensure that every last element is cleaned up and tidied.

  • Post-Event.

    Celebrating Success

    Once the event is over, and we've all celebrated the success together, we conduct a debriefing meeting. During this session, we discuss your return on investment, send out thank-you notes, and reconcile the event budget.
