Finding and working with suppliers for a 16th birthday
Practical tips to find, compare and book trusted suppliers for a 16th birthday
How do I find reliable suppliers for a 16th birthday?
Start by listing the services you need, such as catering, a DJ, photographer and decorations. We connect you with verified suppliers that match your location and budget so you can compare options quickly. Submit one short request and receive multiple bespoke quotes to review in your Add to Event inbox. Read reviews and view supplier photos to make a confident choice.
What should I compare when selecting suppliers for a 16th birthday?
Compare total cost, exactly what is included, cancellation policies and any extra fees to avoid surprises. Check recent reviews, sample photos and references to judge quality and reliability. Ask about experience with similar events and whether they can meet your venue’s specific requirements. Confirm availability for your date and get all terms agreed in writing before paying a deposit.
How can I manage communication and bookings with suppliers?
Keep all messages, quotes and key documents together and set clear deadlines to avoid confusion. We let you chat directly with suppliers through the platform and track quotes in your Add to Event inbox for easy reference. Always request a written contract that lists services, timings and the payment schedule, and check cancellation and refund terms. Pay agreed deposits using the supplier’s preferred method and confirm final details a week before the event.
What red flags should I watch for when choosing a supplier?
Be wary of suppliers who avoid written contracts or pressure you to pay large deposits without clear terms. Watch for vague references, no recent photos or very few reviews, which can indicate limited experience. If a price seems much lower than others, ask detailed questions about what’s included to uncover hidden costs. Always verify insurance and any required safety or food hygiene certificates and confirm the supplier can work at your chosen venue.
