Before you book decor, ask these key questions about setup time, materials, re-use policies, delivery, changes, and what’s included in pricing.
Most event decor problems happen because expectations weren’t clear. A quick set of questions before booking can save you time, money, and stress on the event day.
What Exactly Is Included?
Ask for a detailed list: backdrop, florals, lights, props, delivery, setup, teardown, and any staff included. If something is important to you, confirm it in writing.
How Long Is Setup + Teardown?
Some decor takes hours to build. Confirm venue access time, setup start time, and teardown timing. This avoids delays or extra charges.
Can We Make Changes Later?
Ask how late you can adjust colors, florals, or layout. Many vendors allow minor changes up to a certain date, but large changes may cost extra.
What Materials Will Be Used?
Clarify if florals are fresh, artificial, or mixed. Ask about fabric quality, stand stability, and whether items are rented or custom-made.
What If Something Goes Wrong?
Ask about backup plans: replacement items, weather issues (if outdoor), and who is responsible for venue damage or power limitations.
