Q How can Glass Slipper help me with my wedding/party/event?

- Discuss your budget and help you create one you can stick to.
- Give you ideas, advice, and suggestions on everything from event themes to the perfect favors.
- Negotiate vendor contracts to get you the very best prices.
- Hunt down hard-to-find gifts, decor, centerpieces, or anything else you need to make your dream come to life.
- Confirm all details with your vendors before the event.
- Organize and assist your wedding party during the rehearsal, service, and reception.
- Mediate any misunderstandings between you, vendors, or even guests and family members.
- Supervise and direct all proceedings during your event (so you don't have to worry about a thing!)
- Guide and assist you in making informed decisions on every aspect of your event.
- And anything else you need help with!
Q Doesn’t it cost a lot to hire an event planner?
A You might be surprised how little it costs! Our flat fees are based on exactly how much you need us to do, and there are no hidden extras. Plus, we work tirelessly to get you the lowest prices on everything you need for the event. We hunt down discounts and negotiate with all of your vendors, thereby saving you loads of time and lots of money. The savings we can get for you typically pay for our fees (and sometimes more!)
Q Will I lose control of my event if I hire Glass Slipper?
A Not at all! We do only as much as you need, and we never make any decisions without checking with you first. This is your event and your vision, not ours. We’re just here to help you make your dream a reality.
Q What’s different about Glass Slipper? Why choose you over anyone else?
A Glass Slipper Weddings and Events offers you:
- Creativity. Glass Slipper specializes in personalized, one-of-a-kind events that your guests will be talking about for years.
- Experience. We know what goes into a beautiful event, and we can share that expertise with you.
- Friendliness. To put it simply: we’re nice, we’re fun, and we’re on your side!
- Honesty. We stand by our contract and our fees, and we let you know every detail as it happens. You’ll never have to guess at our price or our responsibilities.
- Passion. We started this business because we love it. Bringing creative events to life is our passion, and we truly enjoy every new challenge.
Q I only need help on a few little things. Is it worth it to hire a planner?
A Absolutely. Even if you have most of your plans under control, it’s always wonderful to have a planner to oversee everything and double check all of the arrangements. Also, on the day of the event itself, you want to relax and enjoy yourself, not worry about the details. We’re flexible: you can pick and choose precisely the services you need, and only pay for the work we do.
Q What kind of people hire an event planner?
A Basically, anyone who wants a helping hand in making his or her event shine. For example, our clients can be anyone who:
- Works hard and doesn’t have the time to plan extensively
- Knows they want something different but needs help brainstorming
- Knows exactly what they want but doesn’t know where to start
- Needs help meeting a specific event budget
- Has "problem areas" such as difficult guests, unresponsive vendors, or complicated transportation issues
- Has most plans under control but needs someone to work "behind the scenes" on the event day itself
- Wants to hold an event in an unfamiliar area
- Is nervous about proper etiquette, creating schedules, or dealing with vendors
- Needs everything to conform to an event’s specific theme
- Wants to relax during their event and doesn’t want to sweat the small stuff
- Has children and doesn’t have time or energy to plan
- Wants to throw a "surprise" celebration
Q What is your payment and cancellation policy?
A All of our terms are clearly stated in our contract, which we’ll draft up after talking with you about your needs. Payment plans will vary depending on your specific situation, but generally, we require a deposit upon signing the contract, and then we’ll bill you in installments up until the week before the event.
Our cancellation policy is also stated in our contract. If you should choose to cancel your event or our services, the date of your cancellation will determine whether we are able to offer you a partial refund. The closer to your event, the less we are able to refund to you.
