In this episode we are going to do things a little differently. We are going to share with you a Q&A Session that Jamie did with the Union Mastermind members. She is going to answer questions about design, decor, and rentals.

If you would like to have your questions answered by Jamie, you should look into joining the mastermind. Details can be found at: https://wolferandco.com/mentorship

In this episode, Jamie discussed:

  • How pricing is a value game
  • Coordinating with the florist and other design tips
  • Breaking down the decor
  • What to do about wrinkles

Key Takeaways:

  • Pricing is a value game. If it takes you four hours to complete a task and you get a hundred bucks for it , start playing with those numbers mentally. Do you feel like what you get describes your value or the value of your time spent doing it?
  • It’s up to you on how involved you want to be with the florist, but generally, the best thing to do is to include them in the design meetings and check in on them after.
  • When people start dancing, slowly pull out items into one central location where they can be easily put in the bin. Once that’s done, tear down the decor sneakily. For example, if you’re taking table numbers, take from the tables with no people around them.
  • Wrinkles are a problem. It would be a good idea to always bring a portable steamer and some distilled water in order to do damage control. After the event though, you have to talk to the supplier and if they’re giving wrinkled linens consistently, it’s time to find someone else.

"We specifically like to design pockets. Don’t overdesign everything, just design a few key moments instead and the cost on decor can be a very slippery slope so be very strategic about it. " — Jamie Wolfer
