At Lily & Boothe, we are committed to making sure your event is tailored to your unique vision. While we have a network of trusted vendors that we work with regularly, we understand that you may have a specific vendor in mind that you would like to use for your event.

Rest assured, you are more than welcome to bring in your own vendors for your event. Our team will collaborate with you and your vendors to ensure that everything runs smoothly and seamlessly. We want to make sure that every detail is accounted for, and that includes coordinating with your chosen vendors.

That being said, we do encourage you to consider using our established network of vendors. They are seasoned professionals who have worked with us on numerous occasions and have a proven track record of delivering exceptional results. When you work with our vendors, you can trust that they will deliver the same level of quality and service that we pride ourselves on.

Whether you choose to work with our trusted vendors or bring in your own, our goal remains the same – to make sure that your event is a resounding success. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help bring your vision to life.

At Lily & Boothe, we understand that every event is unique and that timelines can vary. However, we recommend booking our services as soon as you have decided to host an event. While some clients book us a year or more in advance, we have also worked with clients who book just a few weeks before their event. We always strive to accommodate our clients’ needs, whenever possible.

Booking early allows us to secure your desired date and ensures that we have enough time to plan and execute your event to perfection. This is particularly important for events with a large guest list, complex logistics, or unique design elements that require additional time and attention. By booking early, we can also build a relationship with you and better understand your vision and goals for the event, which allows us to provide more personalized and effective event planning and design services tailored to your needs.

In the end, there is no set timeline for booking our services, but the sooner you book, the better. We are committed to making your event a success and will work with you to provide exceptional event planning and design services, regardless of when you book. Contact us today to start planning your next unforgettable event.

When it comes to making the critical decision of choosing an event planning company, there are a number of factors to consider. You want to find a company that is reliable, experienced, and able to collaboratively bring your vision to life. We believe that we have all of these qualities and more.

To determine if the Lily & Boothe team is the best fit for you, we recommend setting up a personal consultation. During this meeting, we will get to know you and your event goals, as well as discuss our planning process and design services. This is also a chance for you to ask any and all questions you may have and determine if we are a good fit for your needs.

We understand that trust and transparency are key components of a successful client-planner relationship. That’s why we work to establish a partnership with our clients, becoming a trusted advisor and friend throughout the planning process. Our goal is to ensure that your event is a unique reflection of your personality and style.

If you ultimately decide that we are not the right fit for you, we are happy to recommend other event planning companies that may better suit your needs. At the end of the day, we want to make sure that you find the perfect company to help you bring your event to life, whether it is with us or someone else.
