Tia has worked events that have had up to 500 attendees.
Please provide two weeks' notice for an unplanned event. A more comfortable short planning period is at least a month. But no matter when you need the help, Tia is ready to step in whenever you need her.
As someone who occasionally feels decision paralysis, Tia prefers the feeling of clear desires made on the spot. Additionally, as someone who can be impatient, Tia enjoys the thrill of quick accomplishments during short-term planning.
Absolutely. No matter your needs–from full-service planning to partial planning to just day-of coordination–, Tia will be sure to be at your event from prep to cleanup.
Absolutely! Tia is happy to help answer any questions you may have before any payment is required. Consultations will be virtual, either by phone or Zoom.
Tia is happy to meet with you as often as you need, and that can be in-person, over Zoom, or over the phone. If your event is at least a month away, Tia prefers meeting at minimum once per week. If your event is a year away, Tia is comfortable meeting every two weeks to once every month. Meetings and their locations will depend on your needs and preferences. Tia wants to get as much information from you to help make you feel most comfortable on your big day.
Events start at a flat rate of $800 for Day-Of Coordination, $1,600 for Partial Planning, and $3,200 for Full-Service Planning. After having an initial consultation and learning your budget, Tia will provide you with a package proposal that outlines costs. She is happy to be flexible to work within your means. Tia strives to be affordable and accessible to anyone in need.
Don’t worry! Tia knows all the questions to ask to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Tia is based in Chicago and grew up in the suburbs. With that, she’s comfortable driving to counties surrounding Cook County or driving within the Midwest (including but not limited to St. Louis, Milwaukee, or the Twin Cities). Please note that if your venue is outside of Chicago, you will need to pay for Tia’s transportation and accommodations.
No! Tia is happy to work with whoever fits your needs and interests.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Tia ethically and morally refuses to use AI. AI steals from the work of artists who have put time and effort into their work. Plus, AI uses an obscene amount of energy. Tia cares more about collaborators and the planet than to consider cutting corners with AI.
