  • Once you submit your inquiry, we’ll review the details you’ve shared, including your event date, location, vision, and anticipated investment.

    You will then receive an email with a link to schedule a short consultation with our team. This gives us an opportunity to learn more about what you’re envisioning, gather any additional details we may need, and talk through how we can bring your event to life.

    If your date is available and the project appears to be a potential fit, we’ll use that conversation to determine the best way to move forward. From there, we’ll develop a custom mock up and proposal based on what we’ve discussed.

  • Once we’ve agreed on the scope and you’ve received your proposal, a $250 non-refundable retainer is required to secure your event date.

    The retainer is applied toward your final event balance and allows us to officially reserve your date and begin the work associated with your project.

    Payment terms and the payment schedule for your specific event will be outlined in your proposal and contract.

    For most projects, 8–12 weeks of lead time is ideal, but shorter timelines may be possible depending on our availability and the scope of your event.

  • Sometimes! If your event is approaching quickly, reach out and we’ll let you know what’s possible based on our availability and the scope of the project.

    Additional rush fees may apply when an expedited timeline requires accelerated sourcing, design, or production.

  • Our standard production scope includes completing setup and styling before your event begins and returning afterward for breakdown when applicable.

    On-site event management throughout the event is not included unless specifically contracted as part of your event.
