Question 1

What kind of events do you plan?

Accepted Answer

I plan weddings, dinner parties, proposals, and all kinds of meaningful events that matter. Whether it’s something intimate or full-scale, I’ll bring your vision to life in a way that feels personal and true to you. I also offer day-of and à la carte wedding coordination, along with event design services. If you’ve handled most of the planning but want extra support on the day, I’ll step in to oversee the flow and manage any last-minute details. Beforehand, I take the time to understand your plans so everything runs seamlessly from start to finish.

Question 2

Where are you based, and do you travel?

Accepted Answer

While based in Connecticut, I plan and coordinate events across the East Coast and have worked on weddings as far as Washington, D.C. I am happy to travel for select events and will discuss all associated costs, including accommodations and transportation.

Question 3

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

For full-scale weddings, events, and design planning, I recommend reaching out 12 to 24 months in advance. For day-of or smaller events, 9 months ahead is ideal. If your event is sooner, don’t hesitate to reach out. If I’m available, and depending on the scope of services, I’d be happy to help whenever possible.

Question 4

Do you offer custom packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Every event is different, so I’ll create a proposal based on your needs, your vision, and the level of support you’re looking for. Wedding service pricing is based on a percentage of your budget, while all other offerings have a starting price. I love creating events that feel elevated, memorable, and truly extraordinary, with a touch of outside-the-box thinking.

Question 5

Do you help with design & decor?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I specialize in layout and styling details to ensure your space feels intentional, cohesive, and aligned with your overall vision. I create design boards for the overall event and also offer the creation of custom stationery, bringing all the visual elements together. I enjoy the creative side of events and use this expertise to make sure you’re ecstatic with the final result.

Question 6

Can we work together if I already have booked vendors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I’m happy to work with your existing vendors and can also recommend trusted professionals to complement the team you’ve already booked.

Question 7

For weddings, do you help with next day setup or brunch following the event?

Accepted Answer

For weddings, I’m available to assist with next-day setup or to coordinate a brunch the following day, either at a venue or at the hotel where you and your guests are staying. I can also personally gather florals or other items from your wedding and deliver them to the venue or hotel for the brunch. Both services are available for an additional fee, to be agreed upon in advance.

Question 8

Do you offer custom decor for events?

Accepted Answer

I specialize in crafting personalized details that reflect your style and story, from custom signage and invitations to menu cards, painted table runners, curated table settings, and unique lounge setups. Additional bespoke décor elements can be discussed, with pricing adjusted based on the scope of the request. For elements requiring specialized expertise beyond my scope, I coordinate with trusted professionals to ensure your vision is executed flawlessly, beautifully, and within your budget.

Question 9

How are costs for custom decor handled?

Accepted Answer

Custom décor pricing is divided between the cost of materials, labor, and sourcing, with 40% of the total applied as my service fee for the design, coordination, and setup of the elements. I provide clear estimates and include all costs in your proposal so there are no surprises.

Question 10

What is our pricing structure for weddings?

Accepted Answer

For full wedding planning, I charge 15% of the total wedding budget, with budgets starting at $40,000. I recommend setting aside a 10–15% contingency fund to ensure there’s flexibility for any additions or adjustments along the way.

Question 11

How can I learn more about pricing for other special events?

Accepted Answer

Every celebration deserves thoughtful attention and a touch of creativity. Whether you’re planning a shower, birthday dinner, or another special event, reach out and we can chat about your vision. I’ll provide custom pricing and offerings tailored to your day.

Question 12

Do you coordinate wedding rehearsals?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If your venue does not provide a rehearsal, I offer rehearsal coordination for an additional fee. If a rehearsal is provided by the venue, I will still be there to assist as needed and ensure everything runs smoothly.

Question 13

Have more questions?

Accepted Answer

If you have any additional questions about my offerings or your event, feel free to contact me via email at rjuliannaambro@gmail.com. I’d be happy to chat and help bring your vision to life.
