Frequently Asked Questions
-
Just like an interior designer, graphic designer, or fashion designer, an event designer is focused on creating an aesthetically cohesive piece of work that represents the inspiration–which in our case is the couple! There is a big difference between pinning images, and actually knowing how to transform those images into reality, which is where we come in. We use food, linens, invitations, attire, florals, and so much more to create a custom wedding experience just for you and your guests. With this package, we advise you on how to communicate those details to the vendors you are booking.
-
The most expensive cost is the catering. The term “catering” in the wedding world means the company that is providing food, alcohol, bartenders, servers, rentals, and sometimes even dessert! In the DC area, the average cost for a reputable caterer starts at about $250/per person for everything listed above and can increase based on service style, alcohol preferences, rental selections, and more.
