Important things to know before booking with us
We believe in transparency and want our clients to feel fully informed and confident when booking with Nikki Event Decoration. Here are a few important things to keep in mind to ensure a smooth and delightful experience for everyone:
- Custom décor vs. inspiration images: Inspiration photos are a fantastic starting point for reference. While we strive to capture the desired look and feel, exact replicas may vary slightly based on the specific venue size, the availability of materials, and your allocated budget.
- Pricing depends on details: Our décor pricing is highly individualised. It varies significantly based on factors such as the event's size, the complexity of the setup, the event location, and any custom elements you wish to include. Our quotes are always personalised, not fixed packages.
- Venue rules matter: It's important to note that some venues have specific restrictions regarding installations, hanging décor, the use of candles, or defined setup/pack-down times. We always work closely within venue guidelines to ensure both safety and compliance.
- Booking early is important: Our most popular dates, particularly during wedding and festive seasons, tend to fill up very quickly. Booking early is crucial to secure our availability and allows us ample time for meticulous planning and preparation for your event.
- Weather considerations for outdoor events: For outdoor setups, we plan with great care. However, please be aware that weather conditions can influence décor choices and suitability. We may recommend backup options to ensure your outdoor event looks stunning no matter the weather.
- Final changes close to the event: While small adjustments are usually possible, we kindly request that major design changes close to the event date be avoided. This is due to the extensive preparation and sourcing timelines required to deliver our high-quality service.
Our ultimate goal is to be completely transparent and supportive throughout your journey with us, ensuring you feel informed, confident, and utterly stress-free as we bring your event vision to life.
