Your wishlist, before you talk to anyone

Questions you can answer early — they become the yardstick you compare candidates against.

What tabletop look and palette are you picturing?
Which elements are you dreaming of?
Real flame or flameless?

What settles once booked

The working details you and your vendor pin down together.

Tables to dress
DERIVED — the per_table budget basis multiplies against this.
Tabletop look & palette
Which elements?
Where do plates, glassware, and linens come from?
Real flame or flameless?
Who sets the table décor?
Where does it all go at the end?
What time do they arrive?
The time you agreed together, not an estimate worked back from the ceremony.
What time do they finish?
Who do you call on the day?
The name and cell number of whoever is on site — not the office line.
Where do they come in, and where do they park?
The load-in door or dock, where the vehicles go, and who opens up.
Do they need a meal?
Counts toward your caterer's vendor-meal number.
What balance is due on the day?
Your own figure, from your contract — what is still owed when they arrive.
What gratuity are you planning?
Your own figure. It rides beside the balance on the day-of money sheet.
