All the ingredients for an unforgettable night
Carolina says that there is virtually nothing that they can’t handle. Need flowers, a DJ, décor, and an event planner to tie it all together and relieve the stress? No problem.
They have a wide variety of items at their disposal so that they can find just the thing to complete your theme, and they can work to make your venue look brilliant by emphasizing its best features with lighting, centerpieces, flowers, tablecloths, and fabrics.
One of The Event Firm’s top priorities is to keep guests entertained. They supply the right music to fit the mood, taking their cue from the couple’s musical interests, so that everyone can happily dance the night away. They aim to offer the “complete experience” – everything a couple could want, without any of the hassle.
Innovative, modern, and unique
The Event Firm cares about helping clients to create something extraordinary, and are equipped with the insight to give your ideas a boost. “We always help clients to build their vision and exceed their imagination.”
The Event Firm specializes in contemporary, inventive designs, but has mastered tons of outstanding, diverse looks over the years. They are up to the challenge of creating any theme you’re after. “We strive to make every event unique,” Carolina says. “I would say that our style has a modern flare, but ultimately we aim to please our clients. We make their vision into a reality.”
Recent bride Rebecca Coker hired The Event Firm for everything from her DJ services, centerpieces, lights, fabrics, and glass containers for candy buffet. She told The Ring, "It was wonderful. They work so hard and well together that it was really exciting every time we got together. They kept in touch and always had improvements/new ideas that we could see. It was so nice to have them look after EVERYTHING for us."
Understanding that each event is one-of-a-kind allows them to deliver personalized solutions for tailor-made evenings. They are led not only by their instinct for knowing what their clients want, but also by the feedback of their clients, which they seek out. “We invite our clients to parties that we host to keep in touch and celebrate their new lives together. We also touch base with our clients to see if they have any feedback for us.” They look forward to forming relationships with their clients, and trust that meeting each one of their needs is the key to building that partnership.
Making it look easy
It’s no secret that organizing a wedding is time consuming and stressful. But The Event Firm makes it look simple. They pride themselves on making sure every detail is taken care of so that the bride and groom can actually enjoy the process. “We want to make it as easy for them as possible,” Carolina says.
The team of event management specialists at The Event Firm have fifteen years of combined experience in the wedding industry. The specialists are trained under many mentors, and all of the DJs have at least 5 years of experience. In addition, they attend retreats and seminars to further develop their top-notch skills. Because The Event Firm has planned so many events, they know the ins and outs, and can communicate with your venue and its staff to get results that you want – without your having to break a sweat.
Ultimately, Carolina thinks that brides place their trust in The Event Firm because of their talent for setting couples at ease. Event Firm couples can feel confident that their entire day will be taken care of, and that everything will run smoothly.
Teaming up with The Event Firm
Setting up a consultation with The Event Firm is the first step to a blissful union. In the initial meeting, couples chat with Carolina so that she can get a feel for what the couple is looking for and how to make it happen for them. “It’s about them and their vision,” she notes. “We always try our best to keep within their budget and meet their needs.”
Kyle, the head DJ, meets with couples to confirm the itinerary and music selection, and then the Event Firm sets out to do their magic. They are sure to go through every detail so that they know exactly what the couple wants, and they work to help demystify the process for the couple. “We are always open for meetings and are here to answer any questions along the way.”
On the wedding day, at least one representative from each service will be there with the bride and groom, along with Carolina and Kyle who will be on site to ensure the quality of every component. Carolina says, “We want to be there for you on your wedding day so that you know you don’t have anything to worry about.”
August 2011 bride Rebecca told The Ring she really appreciated having The Event Firm there on her wedding day, "My favourite memory was my wedding reception. Carolina and Kyle were both at the whole wedding making sure things were perfect. Kyle was also our DJ and it was phenomenal. We had so many comments on the music and décor! The reception was colourful and really fun. I would recommend them to anyone hosting an event."
After Kyle has checked that the microphone for speeches and announcements is ready, he will play cocktail and dinner music. When it comes to the dancing, he’ll take requests and make sure that people have a great time.
Set-up and take-down services are done by The Event Firm. The crew works quickly and efficiently, always respectful of the directions and needs of the client and venue. They are careful to ensure that everything is done right. “We never cut corners,” Carolina says.
Pricing
Because The Event Firm owns their entire inventory, there is no middleman, which allows them to offer great prices. “Our price sheet provides examples of wedding budgets, but we prefer to bundle all the services together and create a budget that works for each client. We beat the competition’s pricing, sometimes by up to 20%,” Carolina tells us.
Couples usually spend around $2,000 to $10,000 on Event Firm services, though each service is available separately in the case that couples are looking for help with only certain aspects of their day. The fee depends entirely on what services the client needs. DJ services start at $750 and include set-up, delivery, equipment, and take-down, from 5 pm to 1 am.
Details, details, details
• The deposit required to book with The Event Firm is 50%.
• Booking 8 – 12 months ahead is ideal, but The Event Firm often accommodates last minute bookings.
• 13% HST applies to all prices, but there are no gratuities or fine print. “We have no hidden fees. We include set-up, take-down and delivery in all our contracts, so you’re not stuck with a huge bill you weren’t expecting,” Carolina adds.
