OUR PROCESS
Here’s how it works Our process is about collaborating to create an event that is unique to you. It’s about designing a personal look and feel that incorporates intimate details with your distinctive style to create an experience that both you and your guests will remember. We want every one of your guests to walk away from your event saying, “… it was so you!”
Step One: Initial Consultation Regardless of the service we will be providing, our process begins with a consultation where we’ll learn more about you, your event and your vision. We’ll also want to understand the tone you want to set, your personal style, your desired color palette and even what inspires you. You can even send us pictures, fabric swatches, links to websites or blogs—anything you have to help us realize your vision. At this initial meeting we will ask a lot of questions so be prepared! Step Two: The Proposal From there we’ll create a custom proposal for you to review. Any feedback on our proposal is most welcomed. Step Three: Contract Agreement and Deposit Once the proposal and pricing are agreed upon, we will send you a Wedding Agreement outlining our policies, procedures and services contracted . We will tentatively put you in on our calendar from the date of our initial consultation but we require a signed Wedding Agreement and a 60% non-refundable deposit to secure your event date. Step Four: The Details This is the stage where we start to elaborate on and fine-tune the details. Depending on the services contracted we begin our timelines, floor plans, site visits, requesting vendor quotes etc. Once all vendor quotes are approved, the client will be required to pay the required down-payments to each of the vendors to secure their services (this is usually a 50% down-payment).
Step Five: Implementation At this stage we ensure all vendors, deliveries, set-up are on schedule and everything is in place for your event. Final payment is required the week prior to your event date. Should the scope of works vary from any initial plans, MERGE reserves the right to revise fees accordingly. Pricing Each event is tailored to the requirements and unique style of each client, our pricing is flexible and is based on a number of variables such as venue logistics, size and complexity of the event. We are committed to working with you to create the event of your imagination within your budget.
