How do I order products and other creative services by CKAS Events & Weddings, LLC?Please contact us with all your questions, and a representative will gladly provide a quote, delivery estimation, and other details. Do you work with an assistant?Every event requires a minimum of 1 assistant. Depending on your needs, we will provide an additional assistant for a small added fee. What happens if my Coordinator is sick?We will be sure to provide you with an alternate coordinator should the need arise. You will be notified in advance and the replacement coordinator will be well informed of your needs. Can I add products or services after I’ve signed the contract?Of course you can! We will work with you to suit your needs and draft another contract if necessary. Do you offer product or service package discounts?The more the better! We will discount high quantities. What about tipping?We get this question a lot! As with other vendors who are out there working hard to make sure your day is everything you dreamed of, gratuities are of course appreciated, but certainly not a requirement. What benefits do I have for using your "preferred vendors?"We pride ourselves on reputation and excellent service. We work with our preferred vendors constantly and ensure a stress-free day! Our preferred vendors may offer a discount at their discretion but only as a client of ours. We do not receive any fees for recommending their services or products. What is the best way to contact CKAS Events & Weddings?We prefer email as it enables us to keep your information organized best. We will respond to all emails within 24-hours during the week and within 48-hours on weekends as we are often working at this time. What is the difference between a Day of Coordinator, a Bridal Attendant, a Event Coordinator, or a Banquet Manager provided to me by my reception site?A Bridal Attendant, Event Coordinator, or Banquet Manager provided to you by your venue is employed by your reception site. They will ensure that your reception runs smoothly while you are at the venue. They are employed by the reception site and not by you personally and are limited to what services they can extend to you as there are many details that a Day of Coordinator handles, that a staff member of your venue cannot provide. A Day of Coordinator (DOC) is employed solely by you and will work with you during the entire duration of planning and management of your event. We will be the point-person for yourself, guests, and vendors should any problems arise. |
