FAQ

2. What’s the Difference Between Event Planning and Event Decor?

Event Planning:

Our full-service event planning goes beyond aesthetics. It covers every detail needed to organize and execute your event seamlessly—from concept to clean-up. This includes venue sourcing, vendor coordination, timeline creation, floor plans, and budget management. We also develop a design plan to align the theme, layout, and overall vision. Once your retainer is paid, we’ll work with you to define your budget and secure vendors that fit your needs—maximizing value while minimizing stress. Our team ensures you can be fully present while we handle the logistics behind the scenes.

Event Decor:

Our event decor service focuses strictly on the visual elements of your event. We provide rental items such as statement backdrops, balloon installations, custom panels, seating, tables, and specialty props. This service is perfect for clients who want an elevated look but don’t require planning, logistics, or vendor coordination.
