For those who want to do most of the planning themselves, who are on a tighter budget but still want professional insight to guide the process and avoid missteps – this is a great option.
Unlike full-service handling every detail, our consultation typically focuses on strategy, planning, and oversight—helping clients to make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
Key Responsibilities:
Consultation & Strategy: Assess event goals, budget, audience, and logistics to develop a clear plan.
Vendor Recommendations: Suggest vendors (caterers, venues, decorators, etc.) and advise on contract negotiations.
Timeline & Checklist Creation: Help build a planning timeline and task checklist to keep the event on track.
Risk Management: Identify potential risks and recommend solutions (e.g., insurance, backup plans).
~ We meet with clients in-person and/or by phone a few times for a few hours and help them maximize their planning efforts.
~ Day-of Coordination (Separate option and can be added if desired): Ensure everything runs smoothly.
This option saves so much time. Clients will leave our meetings confidently armed with all the resources needed to take the next steps in the planning process.
