What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

In order for us to give an accurate price to the customer, several factors need to be taken into consideration - the theme of the event (if there is one), the number of guests and their age, time and date. In addition, the event location needs to be mentioned as travel expenses may be included in the final price. Last but not least, if the location is going to be outdoors or within a closed environment.

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

The most important thing you should ask a face painter is if their paint and glitter are approved by an appropriate organization. Secondly, Public Liability Insurance is a must for everyone in this business, as it is mandatory for every supplier of these services. Finally, carefully go through the photos and feedback of the work done by the face painter, as many will present themselves as professionals when in reality they are not. In most cases you will need to choose between quality and speed - if you want high quality and detailed face painting, keep in mind that it cannot be done within 2-3 minutes.

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

The idea came after a birthday party to which we were invited a few years ago. As a qualified fine artist, I already had plenty of experience with different kind of paint, brushes and techniques to create textures and realistic designs. I've bought the basic colours for face painting just to try the medium. In the beginning, I've created many designs on my own face in order to practice, and after I felt confident enough, I began to paint at parties of close friends. One thing led to another and now we offer a fully professional service for many events!

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

Add to Event is an amazing platform. It provides the best possible connection between the customer and the service provider. We have recently registered with the website, however, we have already received great feedback and several bookings within the first month of operation. We are happy with the website and have recommended it to several friends in the entertainment industry. In addition, we plan to establish a steady customer base and to secure our position to large events in near future.
