Frequently Asked Questions
We are so glad you’re here! We’ve found a lot of potential clients have similar questions and we’d love to answer those for you here on this page! If you have a question not on this FAQ page, feel free to reach out!
How many events do you take per year?
We consider our clients to be our top priority and want to be sure our time and attention is dedicated to them on their special day. For that reason, we take no more than 1 event per weekend to ensure the flawless execution and dedication required for a successful event. Depending on the level of service and schedule required of each event, we find that taking on about twenty events a year is a great fit for our collaboration style. A work-life balance is very important to us (and our families!) and we dedicate much time and energy into the events that we accept each event season.
Do you travel?
Yes, we consider it an exciting opportunity to be a part of destination weddings and events! We work throughout the southeast regularly. From historic Charleston, South Carolina to the beautiful beaches of bald head island— from the lively city of Raleigh, North Carolina to the Vineyards of Charlottesville, Virginia— we excite in our ability to work with local vendors wherever we may be so that you can have the wedding of your dreams.
Do you have a minimum budget you work with?
To allow for a comfortable and enjoyable experience with each of our clients, we have a minimum budget of $70,000 for Tandem Package clients. Cadence and Pedals clients are typically a comfortable fit with a starting budget of $35,000. On average, our clients spend between $250–$600 per guest for the overall cost of the wedding.
How far in advance can I hire Kickstand Events?
In order to get the most value out of each of our packages, we typically book Pedals & Cadence Package clients no sooner than 8-10 months in advance of the wedding day. We book our signature Tandem Package starting at about 12-14 months in advance due to the level of preparation that is involved from our design and planning team.
In a crunch? We have planned a wedding from start-to-finish in as little as 6 weeks— so no amount of time is too limited to see how our team can allow you to enjoy the planning & embrace the wedding day! Contact us today for availability!
Do you offer Month-of or Day-of Planning?
It is so rewarding for us to serve our clients at every phase of this exciting time! We have found that our client’s benefit most from the collaborative efforts that require the time and attention of a well-rounded event planning and design experience from Kickstand Events throughout the engagement, not just at the end of the planning experience. Our signature ‘Tandem Package’ allows for our couples to be as involved or uninvolved as their schedules and interest allows, all while resting assured that their wedding details are always at the forefront of our minds throughout the planning! We understand that the needs of every event and every couple vary, and our signature service allows for our strengths to shine for the clients who benefit from their specific planning and design needs that they require. However, we would be happy to discuss your specific event needs, to see if we could be of service via our very popular Cadence or Pedals packages that might align best for you!
