Questions to Ask a Decor Company

What to ask a decor company so that the look you imagine is the look you get on the day.

By Nalongo Events,

Decor is easy to picture and easy to misunderstand. These questions help you and your decor company see the same thing before the day arrives.

Start with the look. Bring photos, colours and any ideas you like, and ask the company to explain in plain words how they would use them at your venue.

Ask what is included. Find out which items are supplied, which are made for you and which are hired, and who sets up, who takes down and when.

Ask about the venue. Decor depends on the space, so ask whether the company will visit the venue first and what access they need on the day.

Ask how changes are handled. Colours, numbers and layouts sometimes change, so agree how late a change can be made and what it costs.

Finally, agree the budget in writing. Ask for a clear quote, what is extra, when payments are due and what happens if the date moves.
