What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Check reviews and comments online. It is always best to book as long in advance as possible to ensure you have reserved availability for your date.
Remember if you are looking for a wedding cake, the more intricate and plentiful the handcrafted sugar flowers or elements are, the more expensive the cake will be. If you are on a tight budget, then consider faux/artificial flowers or fresh flowers.

A naked or semi naked cake with fresh flowers or berries or both can be a good option when you have a tight budget.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

As a professional chef running restaurants for some years, I found it was taking up all my energy and time and I felt my quality was beginning to suffer and my health and personal life suffered also.

Working as a freelance caterer and chef has afforded me the time I need for myself and therefore I find more time and contentment in my work delivering excellent quality and the ability to work within my physical and mental limits.

I therefore offer an excellent customer experience and a brilliant product, with time to spend on assisting each client so that they get a personalised service and great results.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

As a self-employed person, finding the work takes up a huge amount of work and time. Therefore having an online agency like Add to Event is a wonderful aid in finding the customers who are already looking for the service I offer.

Add to Event is straightforward, and I have full control over which enquiries I wish to pursue according to my availability and minimum booking requirements and of course location.

Having recently completed a Booking through Add to Event, I can recommend the service to other suppliers, as a cost-effective and streamlined service to find new clients that want to use your personalised services.
