Burning Questions?
Hesitant to book a call?
Unsure if Events With Amie is for you?
See some of the most commonly asked questions below, & if we haven’t answered your concerns here, book a call or shoot us a text & we can surely answer them for you.
How Do I Know You Are Qualified To Help With My Event?
Great question! Amie first joined the hospitality industry over 10 years ago & quickly fell in love with events!
Knowing she wanted to make it a career – she has numerous qualifications under her belt, including;
- Cert 2 in Event Planning, Styling & Design (Specialising in Weddings & Engagements)
- Cert 3 in Business Administration
She is a whiz at budgeting due to her own experience with being financially savvy. Constantly researching the industry trends and highlights including new up and coming vendors to be able to recommend to you!
And most importantly the numerous years of experience in the field – not only planning events, running venues, rostering & staff management – working her way up from a waiter at just 19yo gives a unique insight & understanding into what is required.
Amie has worked in every type of venue, assisting with every type of event! From a small 10pax hens lunch, to 400pax corporate galas, weddings, VIP launches, tradeshows, expos & MORE!
All other staff are trained by Amie and are hired based on their knowledge and experience and willingness to be your Event Day Bestie!
What If I Am Unsure Of My Budget?
This is pretty common – it’s always a good idea to have a budget in mind – it helps not only us but the vendors when we know what you are comfortable spending.
If you are unsure where to start on creating a budget we can advise you of how to best go about this on your consultation call.
Beyond this this is our specialty, we understand most couples these days pay for their own wedding alongside parents paying for baby showers, people throwing their own birthdays and more! And with the cost of living and working the average job we specialise in how to make the most of your event and get that “celeb” look for a lower cost!
I Don't Know Where To Begin Or What I Need?
That’s fine! That’s why we’re here! We suggest the best way to beat this stress is book in a consultation call (with your partner if you’re a wedding) and we have a chat to you about what you like, any ideas, can provide you with a few free tips on where to start and even a worksheet to get you started – all without any pressure to book – as we mentioned we love providing value and that means right from the first free call through until after the event!
Is There Anything We Should Ask When Comparing Planners?
This is my favourite question because a lot of people don’t actually know what to ask and the answer a planner gives you can tell you a lot!
I would say:
- Ask for specifics about what is in their packages, and if anything is confusing be sure to clarify (hidden travel fees, delivery etc)
- Does the package include a rehearsal (weddings only).
- Be careful of HOW they recommend vendors – some planners will have affiliations and deals with vendors and ONLY recommend or try to preference them – we don’t operate like this we fit the vendor to your vibe.
- Confirm they are in fact a PLANNER and not JUST A STYLIST! – A planner will help with vendor research, quoting, budgeting, timelines, floorplan creation, printing, seating charts, rehearsals, styling mockups, keeping you calm and much more to the lead up to the day and running of the day itself. A stylist only takes care of the decor and aesthetics – sometimes they may throw in the timeline and floorplan which is why it can get confusing.
- MOST IMPORTANTLY – ensure whoever you choose, no matter which vendor you feel 100% comfortable!
Can You Price Match?
We will always do our best to price match other planners based on the package you are looking at, but just be careful you are comparing our packages with planners and not stylists only.
They may look cheaper and better on the surface but we pride ourselves on providing 10x the value so whilst someone may be $1000 cheaper we guarantee you won’t get over HALF the inclusions we provide, and these are just the ones we list – we always throw in sneaky extras along the way because we love our clients!
I Want My Event To Be Super Unique, How Can You Help Me With This?
Of course you do! You want your event to be super memorable so everyone is talking about it for months if not years to come!
We always go above & beyond to ensure the small touches & little details for each client.
During our first call we will ask you a few standard questions to find out which package would best suit. If proceeding with a booking we have a questionnaire we ask for you to fill out which provides insight into the type of event you are after & any special touches you might want.
From there we get to researching & suggesting ideas that can help you make your day one-of-a-kind!
If you are wanting to take your event to the next level & have the budget to do so then nothing is out of reach! Get in touch & we would love to help you plan something BIG!
Do You Travel?
YES! If you need us physically at an event, we travel up to 3hrs from Melbourne CBD – Included in certain package costs – which can be discussed on your initial consult call.
We do have services available for those who live further out or are willing to travel to you for an additional fee!
For the right fees we will come anywhere – interstate, overseas you tell us where you want us and we can do it!
Do You Have Experience With Cultural Weddings?
We sure do! And if it’s a culture we haven’t done we will do the research to learn what we need to at no additional charge for the time as we love learning new things!
Check out our “Real Stories” page to see different weddings and events we have created with cultural aspects.
