Bliss Events by Katie pride itself on being an affordable luxury. In their mind "Event Perfection" should be available to everyone no matter the occasion or your budget. They will work with you to create an event for the memory books and leave your guests in awe!

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

It goes without saying we need the date to check our availability, the location (if known) or potential location and the type of event. The event type is key because this means we can tailor our quote to things we think you may be interested in along with the specifics you provide.

As a Venue Dresser and Event Stylist, it is always helpful to know an approximate number of guests so we can best guess how many tables you will need - if we overquote we will scare you off! If you have decided on a colour scheme or theme this will help as we can send you information of other similar events we have styled. Even telling us what you don't want helps!

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Venue Dressers & Event Stylists are such an important supplier for the special occasion you are organising. You need to feel they understand your vision and that you can work with them throughout the coming months - it will be one of the most prominent decisions both behind the scenes and on the day itself.

Please don't base your decision purely on price; you should do your research to make a mini shortlist and take the time to speak properly before you book. There is a lot of competition out there but within there are so many creative individuals available to you. Check out the potential suppliers website, social media for an insight into them.

Finally, remember your enquiry matters to us. No matter how big or small your event is, or how established the supplier is, be mindful that when you reach out to them and / or they send you a quote your contact is important. Please keep us updated in your decision making and be honest about timescales - we won't be put off if you say you are speaking to another company for a comparison, we understand!

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Put simply I live and breathe Weddings & Events; I love celebrating life's biggest occasions and those smaller moments. My passion for styling is combined with both planning & organising - to me, this is just heaven! Luxury Venue Dressing and Event Styling should be accessible to all no matter your budget or the scale of your celebration and I enjoy working with clients to help them make their plans a reality.

Bliss Events by Katie allows me to work with people during some of the most memorable times in their lives and it is an honour and a privilege to play just a small part in that.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

Add to Event is a fantastic way to enhance your business by giving you the platform to speak with clients who are looking for your specific services. It allows the clients to be contacted by suppliers with not only the skills but the availability to undertake their event which saves a lot of hassle for them I am sure! I used Add to Event when planning my own party and I signed up straight away as a business! Add to Event is a no-brainer and is ideal for businesses that don't solely focus on weddings.
