Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I hire an Event Planner?

There are a lot of reasons! Not everyone enjoys all the detail work that goes along with hosting an event. An event planner can take care of all the details for you, can help you turn your vision into reality and make sure that everything flows smoothly. From helping to find a venue to decorating to negotiating vendor contracts - an event planner is there to help you with every detail. An event planner is a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on and your resource for etiquette, ideas and so much more. Flawless Occasions treats your event as if it were our own!

My venue already has a coordinator. Why would I need another one?

Many venues now offer an onsite coordinator to help you with all your needs at that particular venue. While they are there to make sure your event goes smoothly, their loyalty is to their employer (the venue) not to you. By hiring an outside event planner, you have someone who's entire purpose is to make sure everything is done exactly as you have specified.

My event is only a couple days away. Is it too late to hire Flawless Occasions?

Many people get down to the last couple of weeks or even days before they realize there is no way they can get all the last minute details accomplished on their own. It can be overwhelming to try to get ready for the event, set -up & decorate, confirm vendors (and meet up with them), spend time with family & friends, make sure all the guests are taken care of and keep the party running smoothly while still enjoying the event. If we are available on the date of your event, we can still help out....even if it is only 2 days away! If we are not available, we can try to find someone who is.

How can I afford an event planner?

You may be surprised at how economical it can be! Flawless Occasions can actually save you money by negotiating contracts with vendors and using our knowledge and relationships in the industry. We already know the industry so we can recommend vendors, ideas and things of that nature. Our wealth of knowledge saves you a lot of time and research. When you book a consultation with us, we can customize a package that fits into your budget. You have nothing to lose because our initial consultations are free!

I don't live in Florida, but am planning an event there. Can Flawless Occasions still help?

Absolutely! We will work with you from any location even internationally. A lot of people plan destination weddings, reunions, anniversary parties, etc. in Florida and it makes it so much easier for you if you can rely on someone local.

I am planning an event and don't know where to start. Can Flawless Occasions help?

Yes! We will brainstorm with you and help you get started.

Where are you located?

We are located in North Tampa, but we realize our clients have very busy schedules and may not be able to travel to us for appointments. We can make arrangements to meet with you in a place that is convenient so you don't have to go out of your way.

What is your payment schedule?

Your initial deposit of 50% is due when the initial contract is signed. The additional 50% is due 3 days prior to the event. At this time we only accept cash, checks and money orders made out to Beth Carrick or payment via PayPal.
