We've gathered the questions we hear most often to help you understand how we work.
What types of events do you organize?
We handle events of all sizes and formats. This includes corporate functions, business conferences, weddings, private parties, and family celebrations. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering of 20 people or a large-scale corporate event, we have the experience to manage it.
How far in advance should I book your services?
For weddings and large corporate events, we recommend reaching out 6-12 months in advance to ensure adequate planning time. For smaller private parties or business meetings, 4-8 weeks is typically sufficient. However, we do accommodate shorter timelines when possible, so please contact us to discuss your specific situation.
How does your pricing work?
Our pricing varies based on the event type, size, complexity, and services required. We provide customized quotes after an initial consultation where we discuss your needs and vision. Contact us for a detailed estimate tailored to your specific event.
What is included in your event planning services?
Our comprehensive services include vendor negotiations, timeline management, venue styling and decoration, catering selection, and technical support. We handle coordination on the day of the event so you can focus on enjoying the occasion. The exact scope is customized based on your needs.
Do you help with venue selection?
Yes, we assist with venue research and selection based on your event requirements, guest count, and budget. We have working relationships with various venues in the Halifax area and can recommend options that fit your vision.
Can I hire you for partial planning services only?
Absolutely. Some clients prefer to handle certain aspects themselves while delegating others to us. We offer flexible service packages, including day-of coordination for those who have done their own planning but want professional support during the event itself.
What happens if something goes wrong during the event?
Handling unexpected situations is a core part of what we do. We prepare contingency plans for common issues and have experience managing last-minute changes, vendor delays, weather complications, and other challenges. Our goal is to resolve problems behind the scenes so your event runs smoothly.
Do you work with specific vendors or can I choose my own?
Both options are available. We have established relationships with reliable caterers, photographers, florists, and other vendors in Halifax. However, if you have preferred vendors you'd like to work with, we're happy to coordinate with them.
What is your cancellation policy?
Our cancellation terms depend on how close to the event date you cancel and what vendor commitments have already been made. We discuss cancellation policies during the contract phase so you understand the terms before signing. Please contact us for specific details.
Do you travel outside of Halifax for events?
Yes, we work with clients throughout Nova Scotia and can travel for destination events. Travel costs and logistics are discussed during the initial consultation and factored into the overall quote.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfers, credit cards, and cheques. Payment schedules typically involve an initial deposit to secure your date, with the remaining balance due according to the timeline outlined in your contract.
How do I get started with planning my event?
The first step is to contact us via phone or email to schedule an initial consultation. During this meeting, we'll discuss your event vision, requirements, timeline, and budget. From there, we'll provide a proposal outlining our recommended services and pricing.
