Do you just plan weddings?
Felicity Events plans not only but weddings but corporate events, and social parties as well. We also do event design if you are looking for someone to create the inspiration for your upcoming event.
The site I have chosen already has an event coordinator included. Do I really need to hire an event planner as well?
On-site coordinators are great to have and can be very helpful during any event. However, their main objective during the event is to manage their site. They are paid by the venue and therefore their main concern is the venue. By hiring an event planner you have added someone to your team who has you as their main concern.
Why are your prices higher/lower than other event planners?
I cannot say why others choose to charge more or less. There could be many reasons to factor into the price they have set. Their cost of running their business, the amount of staff they employ, and the number of weddings they do in a year can all effect how they price themselves. At Felicity Events our prices are based on how many hours are put into creating your event.
Do you accept a commission from any of the vendors you refer us to?
No. We feel it isn’t in the best interest of us or our clients to accept commissions from any vendors.
Will you charge me for an initial meeting?
No, we don’t charge for an initial 1-2 hour meeting. This is a time for us to get to know each other and see how well we work together.
There are so many wedding planners to choose from, why should I hire you?
I believe every wedding planner's biggest attribute should be their personality. I happen to be a type A personality with a sense of humor. This combination is to my advantage as an event planner because I am a perfectionist but also know how to enjoy the journey to making a great event happen.
How do you handle problems that come up when you plan an event?
With my experience, I try to anticipate problems before they come up but, I know that in every event there are a few obstacles. When these obstacles present themselves it’s best not to stress, but to take it all in stride, keep a smile on my face and find a solution.
