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

When choosing a supplier for decor the most important thing is to check the quality. Ask if you can visit them at their showroom, storage facility or event a wedding fayre. Look through their google, Facebook and Add to Event reviews to check that they have good feedback from previous clients. If there is any bad feedback make sure it isn’t surrounding the quality of the products or reliability. Terms and conditions are other good areas to investigate how thorough your supplier is -what is their policy around vehicle breakdowns and sickness? Do they have a solid contingency plan? Especially in the current climate where 14 days of isolation is essential for any cold and flu symptoms.

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

I started my business off the back of my own wedding planning experience - I really struggled to find a company I clicked with - I wanted to ask a lot of questions and to deal with someone who cared about my day as much as I did and I really struggled to make that connection. I strive to provide a friendly, reliable and affordable service for a range of budgets. I pride myself on having a range of stock from high-value bespoke events to low budget DIY items.

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

I joined Add to Event very early on and it has helped me massively - it gave me the leads I needed to get out there and show off what I could do with different setups. The photos, experience and reviews I have gained from Add to event really helped me move the business forward. My favourite Add to Event booking was a function room in a pub - the bride to be said to me it wasn’t very glamorous and she really wanted to breathe some life into it. We provided full decor and the room was completely transformed! I would definitely recommend Add to Event my experience has always been positive.
