Before booking an event decorator, ask to see photos of their own past work, ask exactly what the price includes, and agree the setup time in writing. These seven questions help you avoid surprises on the day.
What should you ask a decorator?
- Can I see photos of your own recent work? Check that the photos are real setups, not images copied from elsewhere.
- What does the price include? Ask about the backdrop, balloons, props, lights and transport.
- When will you arrive to set up, and how long will it take? Agree the time before the guests arrive.
- Can you customize names, ages and colours? Check that custom names are in the price.
- What happens if I change the theme or the date? Ask for the change policy before you pay.
- Do you handle extras such as kids rides and food stalls? One team is easier than coordinating several vendors.
- How do I reach you on the day? Keep a phone number or WhatsApp chat open.
How can you compare two decorators?
Ask both for a quote for the same date, venue and theme. Compare what each includes, not only the total. A lower price that leaves out props or lights may cost more in the end.
