Frequently Asked Questions
Transforming Your Business from the Inside Out by Bringing Joy to the Job!
Q. What are five adjectives that describe your team?
A. Spirited, Organized, Hard Working, Enthusiastic, and Fun!
Q. I am such an organized person, and so excited to begin, why do I need an Event Planner?
A. Oftentimes people view the idea of a planner as an optional expense to their budget. It’s important to note, that a qualified planner will help you navigate through very unfamiliar territory. Planning events of this scope is a profession for a reason. Planners help you save money and time – we advocate for you, negotiate for you, offer you advice, help you find the best deals, help take your event vision and turn it into a cohesive, fantastic day and so much more.
When you hire a planner, you can leave tasks like finding the best prices on linens, whether your venue has enough electricity for the band, and arranging the floor plan to us. Every person comes to a point in the planning process, usually a couple months prior to the event, when they truly realize how much there still is to do that doesn’t involve the major planning of the event. We alleviate the pressure and make the process enjoyable for you.
Q. My venue has a site coordinator. Do I still need a Coordinator or Event Planner?
A. There is an extremely important difference between working with a site coordinator and an independent planner: the planner works for you, while the site coordinator works for the venue. We are always acting on behalf of your best interests. Because we’ve developed a relationship with you and we know all the details of your event, we are prepared for any last minute emergencies that may come our way and we know how you would like them handled. We also use our familiarity with you and our expertise to add last-minute, unexpected touches. We have a complete overview of the event, while the site coordinator is only familiar with the catering and schedule. We ensure that all the details come together seamlessly.
Because we are a boutique style company, we only take a limited number of private clients every month. What this means for you is that we can provide you with specialized, prompt service. Oftentimes, site coordinators are working two or three events per weekend, so in reality they have less time for you, your questions and concerns. Also, site coordinators won’t confirm your vendors, create your weekend itinerary or answer your tricky etiquette questions.
Q. I don’t think our budget will allow for a planner. How do I allocate funds for your services?
A. It’s amazing how much money a qualified event planner can save you. Not only might you see extra money in your pocket, but you will see more value for the money you spend on décor and vendors. We know the places to find the best prices and we can help you find vendors that will do an amazing job for you. Right from the start we help you prioritize your budget to include the aspects of your event that are the most important to you. We’ve had clients tell us again and again that hiring us was the best money they spent on their event. We couldn’t ask for a better compliment!
Q. Do you charge for an initial consultation? What’s included?
A. We enjoy taking the time to meet potential new clients and we do this complimentary. We typically spend about an hour getting to know you, finding out about your vision and talking about your expectations. This gives you an opportunity to get to know us as well.
Q. Why do you limit the number of events you contract?
A. It is our job to ensure that every client is treated to the same personal attention to detail. No matter if your event is a small, intimate gathering or a grand stately affair, we promise to be available to you as if your event is our only one.
Q. How do I know you’re referring the best vendors for me? Do you accept commissions, kickbacks or professional discounts from any vendors you refer?
A. We have worked with many vendors and have a great idea which vendors work best with certain clients. We never get any kickbacks or referral fees and if a vendor offers a discount, we always pass it on to our clients. You can be sure that the vendors we recommend for you are qualified, fit your budget and fit your style.
Q. Do you have a business license and insurance?
A. Yes. We are a tax paying business and are legally registered for business in the state of Colorado. We carry an appropriate insurance policy that covers our business, and allows us to work in all Colorado venues.

Q. Are you licensed and insured?
A. Yes. We're a registered, tax-paying business in the state of Colorado and carry appropriate insurance that allows us to operate in venues throughout the state.
Q. Do you offer packages, or is everything custom?
A. Both. We have base/common packages available for marketing services and select event types, but every client's needs are different, so we typically listen first and then build a proposal tailored to your goals and budget.
Q. What marketing services do you offer?

A. Yes. Blog writing, newsletter publication, and press release writing are all part of our communications services.
Q. What types of events do you plan?

Q. Do you only do corporate events, or personal events too?
A. Both. On the corporate side, we handle conferences, retreats, team-building, trade shows, and employee celebrations. On the personal side, we plan weddings, vow renewals, and other life events.
Q. Why should I hire an event planner instead of doing it myself?
A. A qualified planner saves you time and money by negotiating on your behalf, advising you on vendors and logistics, and handling the countless small details that pile up as an event gets closer — things like floor plans, vendor timelines, and venue requirements. Most clients tell us they realize how much unglamorous logistical work remains just weeks before their event; we take that off your plate.
Q. Do you offer hybrid or virtual event planning?
A. Yes. We've planned numerous hybrid events combining in-person and virtual attendance — conferences, fundraisers, retreats, and more.
Q. Can you help staff my event or trade show booth?
A. Yes, we offer event staffing for booths, festivals, and events that need extra experienced hands.
Q. Do you plan events outside of Colorado?
A. While we're based in Colorado and primarily serve the Front Range, Northern Colorado, and Southern Wyoming, we do travel for the right project.
