FAQ
TO SEE MORE CLEARLY,QUITE SIMPLY.
What types of events do you cater for?+
I style both private and corporate events, including birthdays, family celebrations, dinners with friends, baby showers, gender reveals, christenings, communions, hen parties, intimate weddings, staff parties, product launches and many other occasions.
Every project is tailored to your wishes and the possibilities offered by your chosen venue.
What is the minimum number of guests?+
I generally work with groups of 8 guests or more.
Have something a little different in mind? Feel free to get in touch!
Do you only work in private homes?+
Not at all! I adapt the styling to your chosen setting, whether that's your home, a restaurant, a reception venue, a garden, a shop or an office.
I've even transformed a corridor and a supermarket into places to celebrate. It just goes to show that almost anywhere can become a special setting!
Do I need to have a clear idea of the decoration beforehand?+
Absolutely not. Some clients come with plenty of inspiration, while others simply know they would love a warm, elegant or festive atmosphere.
Together, we'll create a look that feels right for you, your occasion and your wishes.
Do you offer tableware and furniture hire?+
Table styling
Tableware - including plates, glasses and cutlery - is an integral part of the settings I create. It is carefully combined with decorative elements to bring the whole table together.
I don't offer tableware hire on its own, independently of a styling service, as the tableware is part of a complete look.
If your venue already provides its own tableware and it makes more sense to use it, we can focus on the decorative elements instead, such as candle holders, flowers and other accessories.
Furniture
If your project requires it, tables, chairs and other furniture can also be arranged, depending on your needs and availability.
Do you also provide catering or organise the entire event?+
My main focus is table styling and creating a bespoke atmosphere. I don't offer a catering service as such, with the exception of my “Elizabeth” theme, which is available with or without a traditional English sweet and savoury buffet.
Depending on your project, I can also help coordinate other suppliers, such as your caterer or DJ. The level of support is agreed together, according to your needs.
Personalised graphic design can also be arranged on request, including printed menus, place cards, invitations and other printed stationery.
How are your prices calculated?+
Every project is different. Pricing depends on factors such as the number of guests, the style you have in mind, the decorative elements required, furniture, the venue and the services requested.
Once I have a better understanding of your plans, I'll put together a bespoke quote tailored to your event.
What does set-up and collection include?+
The agreed styling is set up the day before or a few hours before your event, depending on the arrangements made. Equipment is generally collected the following day.
If tableware is included, it should be rinsed but does not need to be washed before collection.
All practical arrangements, including timings, are agreed in advance so you know exactly what to expect and can enjoy your event without worrying about the details.
How far in advance should I get in touch?+
As early as possible, particularly for busy periods or larger events. This gives us time to develop your ideas and check the availability of the items needed.
Is your event coming up soon? You're still very welcome to get in touch - we'll see what can be arranged.
How do I request a quote?+
Simply email me or fill in the contact form on the Contact page. Please include the date, venue, type of event, approximate number of guests and any initial ideas you may have.
This will help me understand your plans and prepare a quote tailored to your needs.
