At Orchid Dynasty Events, we want to give you the best experience possible. That’s why we offer a complimentary consultation for every prospective client. During this consultation, you can come into our studio in downtown Salt Lake City and meet with our event designer to discuss your floral needs and vision for your event. You’ll also have the chance to browse through our portfolio and ask any questions you may have about the pre-planning process. If you’re not able to make it into the studio in person, don’t worry – we can conduct the initial consultation over the phone or via email for destination clients.
PRECONSULTATION PREPARATION
Before attending your initial consultation, we recommend that you complete the Wedding Details Form or Event Details Form. This will help us better understand your vision and identify essential details for bringing it to life. To make sure that we create something that reflects your desired aesthetic, please have a color scheme and style in mind before completing these forms. Additionally, feel free to share any visuals – like art, pictures, or mood boards – that inspire you; this can assist us in capturing the look and style you envision for your event.
THE NUMBERS
When planning an event, having a budget in mind is invaluable. We suggest allocating 15-20% of your total event budget towards florals and décor. Additionally, knowing key details such as the expected guest count, table counts, bridal party size and centerpiece count will help you plan accordingly for a successful event.
THE QUOTE
After your initial consultation, we’ll provide you with a detailed estimate that outlines the plans and pricing discussed for your event. We understand that every event is highly customized, so these quotes are just general estimates until further design details and selections are finalized. To reserve your event date with us, we require a non-refundable “Save the Date” retainer of $1000. Once you’ve reviewed the quote, please contact us as soon as possible to secure your event on our calendar.
FINAL DESIGN DETAILS
Once your event is reserved, a written proposal with full details, timeline, and a contract will be sent to you via email. Adjustments, reviews, and follow-up meetings will be discussed and determined at that time.
PAYMENT TIMELINE
A “Save the Date” retainer of $1000 is due at time of booking. 50% of your total package fee is due three months prior to your event date, with the remainder of your total fee due 14 days prior to your event date. After this point, any additional requests are subject to approval by your event designer, and any additional fees are due immediately
