How Does It Work?
The first step is filling out a questionnaire that covers event details and information about your hosting style. The questionnaire helps me get a feel for what you’re looking to accomplish, where you are in the planning process, and where I can help. After taking into account your ideas, concerns, and event requirements, I provide you with an initial proposal — this may include menu suggestions, decor and theme ideas, and a timeline strategy. Once we’ve settled on an approach, I customize a plan, which includes a list of supplies (via online links or store suggestions), a detailed grocery list, and a comprehensive timeline leading up to your event.
I am also available to help with various tasks related to your event, ranging from DIY projects to cooking lessons to vendor sourcing. For example, arranging an in-person meeting to walk through your space gives me a chance to flag the little details — any furniture you may want to rearrange, making room in the coat closet, where to hide the clutter, etc. — that can often go overlooked. We can also use these opportunities to get a feel for the general flow of your event or for me to help you with tips and tricks in the kitchen.
