FAQ
Pricing & Payments
The part most companies keep vague. We would rather not.
- What drives the cost of an event most?
- Guest count first, then function count, then fresh floral volume. Decor complexity matters less than people assume; feeding and seating four hundred people is what moves the number.
- Will you tell us if our budget is unrealistic?
- Yes, in the first conversation. Taking a commission we cannot deliver properly at your number helps nobody, and it is the fastest way to ruin a wedding.
- What is the payment schedule?
- A booking deposit to hold the date and crew, a production instalment when fabrication and floral ordering begin, and the balance before the event. The exact split is written into your contract.
- Are there charges that appear later?
- Not from us. Overtime beyond the contracted hours and guest counts that rise after the final headcount are the only two variables, and both are stated in writing beforehand.
- Do you take commissions from venues or suppliers?
- We recommend by fit. Where a supplier margin exists it is disclosed in the quotation rather than buried in a bundled line.
- Is the deposit refundable?
- The booking deposit holds a date and crew that we then decline to others, so it is non-refundable — but it is transferable to a rescheduled date subject to availability.
From the journal
- Designing a Stage That Photographs, Not Just One That Looks Good in PersonNinety per cent of the photographs from your wedding are taken in front of one wall. It should be designed for the camera, not the room.
- The Service Standard Nobody Talks About: Getting Every Table Served TogetherGuests forgive a modest stage. They do not forgive being the last table served, twenty minutes after the first.
