Its important you have a good understanding with someone that is about to decorate your event because the better you understand him/her the more relaxed you will be. And this enables you to stop the contract early if you are not satisfied with what you think the person is going to offer.
To ensure that you have a good working relationship with your event designer, here are questions to ask before and during the planning process.
1. Can you work within this budget?
This is “the most important question ever,” you know “Many folks come to us with a major fantasy in mind, and often times their budget does not meet this particular fantasy. It's important to let your designer know a realistic budget range that is comfortable for you to work within.”
2. What's your communication style?
To ensure a smoothing working relationship, “It's good to know up front if your designer is an emailer, a texter, a phone-caller, or a face-to-facer,”
3. How long do you need to set up?
Ask your designer to be up front about any additional fees for set-up time. “If we sell a design that needs an overnight load in and the client is not willing to pay for that extra time, that might bring misunderstanding and grumbling
4. Have you worked in this venue before?
Ask the designer how familiar he or she is with your host venue, This will you help you get a sense of how well the design team knows that particular venue's load-in requirements and load-out routines.
5. Does the design staff stay throughout the party?
Don't assume that the design staff will be on hand throughout the entirety of your event.
6. Does your crew expect to get fed on the job?
“Often, design companies are working massive amounts of hours with large teams,” If the crew expects you to provide meals, it's important to know this—and prepare for it—in advance.
7. Do I pay for your travel and board?
“This is another important element to fit within the overall budget, “If the job is away and demands an overnight stay, you should assume you are picking up this cost.” Still, it never hurts to ask.
8. What is in invoke and what is not?
Getting this information up front to help determine which types of flowers and center pieces, table clothes etc is available . Asking the question also help you know if the designer is very creative . But it's good to know designers are creative by nature, and “most of the time go in the other direction of what is invoke or trendy.
9. How can I help you get more creative?
Most times with your input, your designer is very confident of what to bring to the table . This help him/her to know exactly your taste. So as to give you the very best you deserve, but I suggest you trust your designer if you have no concept or something creative to offer so that you don't ruin the wonderful package they have in mind for you.
10 Are you going to be the lead on this job from start to finish?
Occasionally, an assistant designer takes over a project at some point. So it's important to know if your lead contact will change at any point during the planning process.
11. What's your backup plan?
Say, for example, if things changes or does not work out the way you planned. In that case, what are the other options for design?
12 .How do you handle Pressure? If your designer handles pressure poorly he/she might have problems with you, the staff and even with theirself. And that alone can ruin the job. And a job done with negative energy can spread a negative Vibe throughout the venue of the event.
13. What are your suggestions for lighting the room correctly?
Use your designer's understanding of color to help determine the lighting scheme. “The room [lighting] should be flattering to the guests,” At a wedding, “the major focus should be on the dance floor where they will spend three or more hours of the evening.” For corporate events, lighting should “make an impact while not looking garish.
