Whether it's my first rodeo at your space or I'm practically on a first-name basis with your staff, I’ve got this. I’m like a chameleon — adapting, coordinating, and transforming any space into the perfect backdrop for your big day. So, if I haven’t been there yet, trust me, I’ll make it look like I’ve lived there.
Great question! Here’s how it works: I’m like the captain of your event ship, so if we’ve agreed I’ll be there steering the wheel, I’ll be right by your side, clipboard in hand and magic wand at the ready. But if one of my fabulous team members steps in, rest assured they’ve been trained to handle your day with the same care, expertise, and sparkle as I would. Either way, your event will be nothing short of amazing — promise!
Oh, absolutely! Cookie-cutter isn’t in my vocabulary, and your event deserves a plan as unique as you are. Whether it’s an intimate gathering, an over-the-top bash, or something totally off the beaten path, I’ll tailor everything to fit your vision, vibe, and needs. Let’s mix and match services like it’s a planning menu — because your big day should be exactly how you want it.
When it comes to paying vendors, you’ll usually pay them directly—keeps things nice and tidy for everyone. I’ll handle all the coordination, communication, and making sure every detail is perfect, but the payments themselves go straight to the pros providing the magic. Think of me as the ultimate middlewoman who makes sure it all runs smoothly, without holding onto your wallet.
I’m totally flexible when it comes to vendors! If you’ve already got some amazing vendors in mind, I’m more than happy to work with them and make sure everything runs smoothly. Of course, I also have a trusted list of vendors I love to work with—people who share my commitment to excellence and will make your event shine. Ultimately, it’s all about what feels right for you, so we’ll collaborate and make sure everything is a perfect fit!
Great question! Here’s how it works: I’m like the captain of your event ship, so if we’ve agreed I’ll be there steering the wheel, I’ll be right by your side, clipboard in hand and magic wand at the ready. But if one of my fabulous team members steps in, rest assured they’ve been trained to handle your day with the same care, expertise, and sparkle as I would. Either way, your event will be nothing short of amazing — promise!
Life happens, and sometimes the calendar just doesn’t cooperate — don’t stress! If you need to reschedule, we’ll work together to find a new date that works for everyone. I’ll check with vendors, shuffle timelines, and do my best to keep things smooth and seamless. Keep in mind, there might be fees depending on contracts and availability, but I’ll be your advocate every step of the way to make sure we’re back on track for an unforgettable celebration. We’ve got this!
While I’m always here to make your planning experience as stress-free as possible, changing dates or details might come with some small fees depending on the situation. For example, if your new date clashes with vendor availability or if we've already locked in some non-refundable deposits, there may be a slight adjustment. But don’t worry, I’ll work my magic to minimize those fees and keep everything on track! The goal is to keep your event exactly how you envision it, no matter what changes come our way!
Ah, the fine print — we’ve got to talk about it, right? My cancellation terms are clearly outlined in our agreement, and they’re there to protect both of us. Typically, retainers or deposits are non-refundable since they secure your date and kick off the planning process. If you need to cancel, any additional refunds depend on how far out we are and what’s already been booked. But don’t worry — I’ll walk you through it all, and if cancellation does happen, I’ll help you make it as stress-free as possible. Fingers crossed it won’t come to that, though — let’s party instead!
Wedding Planning
faq's
Absolutely! I work with all couples, no matter their gender, orientation, or background. Every love story is unique, and I’m here to celebrate that. Whether you're planning a traditional wedding, a non-traditional celebration, or something totally unique to you, I’ll work with you to create an event that reflects your love and vision. My goal is to ensure that everyone feels respected, valued, and celebrated every step of the way!
Hiring a wedding planner is one of the best decisions you can make! A planner is there to handle all the behind-the-scenes details, so you can focus on enjoying the process and your big day. We’ve got the experience to manage timelines, vendors, and logistics with ease. Your planner will help bring your vision to life, guiding you through every choice — from décor to vendor recommendations, making sure it’s all cohesive and fits your style and budget. On your wedding day, you won’t have to worry about anything — we’ll manage everything, so you can fully enjoy the moment without stress. A planner can help you stick to your budget, prioritize where to spend, and possibly even save you money by recommending trusted vendors or securing discounts. A wedding planner has connections and resources that will save you tons of time searching for vendors or making endless decisions. Ultimately, hiring a wedding planner means you're investing in peace of mind, a stress-free experience, and a beautiful event that feels perfectly "you." We’re here to make it all happen!
While both wedding planners and coordinators help make your wedding day run smoothly, the main difference lies in the scope of their role and when they get involved in the process. If you want someone to help manage the entire wedding process, a planner is the way to go. If you’re mostly set but need someone to ensure everything runs smoothly on the big day, a coordinator might be your perfect fit!
You’ll always have full control over your wedding — I’m here to support you, not take over. My role is to help bring your vision to life by handling the details, managing logistics, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. You’ll make all the big decisions (like your style, vendors, and timeline), and I’ll offer guidance, recommendations, and make sure everything aligns with your dream day. Think of me as your partner in crime, here to take the stress off you and make your vision come true — while you stay in the driver’s seat!
Partial planning is a collaborative effort together and full planning is complete management and all inclusive services. If you want a completely stress-free experience, full planning might be best. If you’re already into the planning and just need some expert guidance and help with specific parts, partial planning is a great choice!
Absolutely! Even with the day-of coordination package, I’m here to help and chat whenever you need between booking and 6 weeks before your wedding. While my main focus for day-of coordination is making sure everything runs smoothly in the final stretch, I’m always happy to answer questions, offer advice, and assist with any details you need before we get closer to the big day. I’m here to ensure your planning process feels easy, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need support along the way!
No worries at all! If you book a coordination package and realize you need more support, we can always adjust the package to better fit your needs. Whether you decide you’d like help with additional planning, vendor management, or design elements, I’m flexible and can offer add-on services to ensure everything is taken care of. The goal is to make sure you feel supported and stress-free, so just let me know what you're thinking, and we’ll work together to create a solution that works for you!
While a venue coordinator does play an important role in the day-of logistics at the venue, they typically focus only on the venue itself — managing the space, coordinating with the venue staff, and making sure everything is set up on time. However, they aren’t responsible for managing all the other aspects of your wedding, like vendor coordination, timeline, design & style, overall logistics, and problem-solving. The venue coordinator manages the venue’s needs, while a wedding planner/coordinator oversees the entire event, ensuring everything — from the venue to the vendors — works together perfectly. If you want someone who’s dedicated to you and your overall vision, a planner/coordinator can ensure every detail is covered.

And if you already have your own vendors in mind, I’ll happily work with them to ensure everything runs smoothly. Think of me as your one-stop-shop for all things vendor-related, so you can focus on enjoying the party!
Oh, I love a good challenge! While I may not have planned an event at your specific venue yet, I’m all about learning the ins and outs of new places. I’ve got a knack for adapting to any space and can work with your venue’s team to create a seamless experience. Plus, I’ll do the homework, scout the place (if needed), and make sure it’s the perfect backdrop for your party! Every venue has its own magic, and I can’t wait to bring yours to life.
Absolutely! No theme? No problem! I live for creating unique, personalized themes that are a perfect fit for your style and vision.

Ooh, a surprise gender reveal at the baby shower—how fun! If you want to keep the gender a secret from everyone (including me), the easiest way is to have your doctor or the person who knows the gender send me a sealed envelope with the big reveal. I’ll keep it safe and only open it when it’s time to incorporate the surprise into the party—whether that’s with a pop of color, a confetti cannon, or a themed activity!

I’ll keep you updated with the important stuff, but I’ll take care of the nitty-gritty so you can focus on other things (like running your business or relaxing). Your event, your level of involvement—I’ll make it happen either way!
There's a good chance I have! In the rare case that I haven't planned an event at your specific venue, that's ok. I absolutely love exploring new places! I’m quick to adapt and can work with your venue's layout, rules, and vibe to create a spectacular event. If you’d like, I can even visit the venue beforehand (if it's local) to get the lay of the land and make sure we’re maximizing the space for your party. Every venue has its own charm, and I’m excited to bring your vision to life, no matter where it is!
Oh, absolutely! Smaller events are my jam! Whether it's an intimate gathering, a cozy dinner party, or a low-key celebration, I love creating memorable experiences without the stress of a big production.

Great question! When it comes to business events, a planner is a game-changer.

I bring years of experience and know-how, from selecting the best vendors to making sure the event runs seamlessly. You’ll get access to my network, ensuring you’re working with top-tier professionals. I handle all the details—timelines, budgets, guest lists, and emergencies—so you can focus on your business and let me make sure your event is a success. A well-planned event boosts your company’s credibility and makes a lasting impression on clients, partners, and employees. I’ll help you design an event that’s as polished and professional as your brand.

Party & Wedding Rentals
faq's
Yes! Our rentals can be used for any occasion. Several of them are even included in your package. When we get to the decoration phase of planning, I'll make sure to put in any of our included rentals to save you some money, and we'll discuss if you want any of our upgradable rentals too.
We handle all of our Red Velvet rentals and we leave the heavy lifting to the rental company. They will handle the delivery and set-up of their items, like tables, chairs, linens, and décor, but I’ll coordinate everything to make sure it arrives on time and is set up according to your vision. If there are any additional decorative touches (think centerpieces, signage, or other personalized elements), I’ll be on-site to ensure everything is perfectly placed and aligned with your theme. In short, the rental company takes care of their gear, but I’ll make sure the whole setup comes together smoothly, so you don’t have to worry about a thing!
No problem at all! If you have your eye on a specific rental that I don’t currently work with, I’ll gladly help source it for you. I’m all about making your event exactly what you want, so I can tap into my network or work with you to find the perfect vendor who can provide that specific rental. Just let me know what you’re thinking, and I’ll handle the legwork to make sure your vision comes to life with the exact rentals you need!
I love your entrepreneurial spirit! While I don’t typically purchase rentals outright, I’m always open to hearing about what you’ve got to offer. If you have items that would be a great fit for future events or if you want to partner in another way, we can definitely discuss options.
For selling rentals, it might be worth exploring local event planners or venues that are looking to expand their inventory. But hey, if it’s something that fits my needs or could be used in future events, I’m happy to have a chat and see how we can work together!
Jacksonville Wedding Florist Services

Several benefits! The major one is that you save money. Hiring one less vendor and paying less for work, travel, etc. You save time - less time inquiring, comparing, price shopping, explaining what you want, waiting for florist replies etc. You feel more confident and less stressed as we already know you, your vision, your priorities, and expectations. Creating an all in one experience benefits your sanity and gives you peace of mind. You know what to expect with the Red Velvet experience.
However, if you have a very specific floral vision or want specialized expertise, then hiring a florist separately might be the way to go. I’m happy to help with either! The choice really depends on how much emphasis you want on florals and how involved you want to be in that process.
Absolutely! I can totally handle florals for parties and events as well! Whether it's a birthday bash, a baby shower, a holiday gathering, a client appreciation dinners, or even a more casual celebration, I’ll create beautiful floral arrangements that perfectly match the vibe of your event. From stunning table centerpieces to fun, smaller touches like bouquets or flower crowns, I’ll make sure the florals add that extra pop of color and personality to your party.
No worries at all! If you're not sure what you want for your flowers, that’s where I come in! I can help guide you through the process and get a sense of your overall vision, style, color, season, and vibe for the event. You don’t need to have a clear vision from the start — I’m here to help you figure it out and create florals that are beautiful, fitting for your event, and exactly what you want (even if you don’t know what that vision is yet!).
Since floral needs can be so unique, I’d work with you to create a custom quote based on the flowers and arrangements you want, ensuring it fits within your budget. Ultimately, floral pricing is flexible! I’ll work with you to design arrangements that fit your budget, making sure you get the florals of your dreams without any surprises. If you have a particular budget in mind, let me know, and we can tailor the flowers to match!
Yes, of course! We are planners first and foremost, so you can definitely book my planning services even if you already have a florist in mind. My job is to help make your event stress-free and seamless, so whether you have a florist or need recommendations, I’ll work with your chosen florist to ensure everything comes together perfectly.
No worries at all! If you’re unsure about what you want for your flowers, I’ve got you covered. We can work together to figure it out step by step, and I’ll help guide you toward a floral design that fits your event’s style and your personal taste. Here's how we can do it:
1. Talk Through Your Event Vision:
I’ll ask about the overall feel or theme you’re aiming for. Are you going for something elegant, whimsical, rustic, modern, or something else? The florals should reflect that vibe, so once we nail down the theme, I can recommend flowers and arrangements that match.
2. Color Palette:
If you don’t have a specific floral design in mind, starting with your color palette is a great way to go. Are there any key colors for your event? I can suggest flower combinations that complement your colors, and you’ll have an easy time narrowing it down from there.
3. Floral Inspirations:
I can provide inspiration boards or examples from previous events to spark ideas. Pinterest, Instagram, or floral design websites are great places to explore, and I can help you sift through them to find what feels right.
4. Flower Types & Seasonality:
I’ll introduce you to different types of flowers—perhaps you’ve never thought about garden roses, peonies, or succulents for your event. I'll also consider what's in season to ensure you get the best blooms at the best prices.
5. Simple vs. Elaborate Designs:
If you're unsure about the style, I can offer options that range from minimalistic (like simple, elegant centerpieces) to more dramatic designs (like grand floral installations or floral walls). You can tell me which direction resonates with you more, and we’ll narrow it down.
6. Budget-Friendly Suggestions:
If you have a budget, I’ll make sure to recommend flowers and designs that fit within it. I can suggest alternatives that give you a lush look without blowing your budget, so you still get the florals you want in a way that works financially.
7. Consultation & Mockups:
If you’re still unsure, I can create mockups or design options for you based on our discussions. Once you see a visual representation, you’ll have a better idea of what you love.
The beauty of working with a planner/florist is that I can help you explore options without the stress of having to know everything upfront. We’ll work together to find something that feels right for you and brings your vision to life!
