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

To work out a competitive quote we need to know the location for travel factors, as well as the date and time of the event, estimated footfall/guests, additional costs we may incur (e.g electric/ground rent/takings), the type of bar options you may want as well as if it shall be cash or prepay.

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

Ask what stands the company out from the rest. You want your event to be unique - what will the company do to enrich your event? Ask for a price but be clear of any extras they may charge. Ask if they have valid insurance. Ask if they are safety tested. Ask for food hygiene evidence. Ask about clear up - will you have to clean up after they have finished? Ask what space and power, if necessary, they need. Ask what knowledge the company has on the product service they offer.

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

I have attended the event scene on a separate ventures for over four years. I saw a gap in the market for quirky trailers and took a leap! Wanting to stand out from the rest i decided to specialize in just one spirit -GIN! In doing this it has enabled me to gather a wealth of knowledge about varieties and what compliments each Gin. I am a self confessed GIN FREAK! I have absolutely enjoyed the months and months of research (sampling!) and liaising with different companies big and small. What I hopefully have achieved is to showcase the big, well known names and also the small local artisan gin companies that are coming up. Give them all an equal pedestal to shine from.

I sat down with a G&T after a long week at work and thought 'Oooh, I could just have a slice of cake!' so it was a lightbulb moment. Every hard working person loves to just sit down and indulge themselves as a little treat and I found that mine was a slice of fresh cake and a damn good G&T so I took the plunge. I didn't want a normal catering trailer and as a lover of all things quirky I found a perfect horse trailer...and the rest is history!

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

I was recommended by a friend to pop on here and have a go. I've only been signed up a short while but I have had lots of potential matches so far. I love how easy it is to sign up and chat about yourself! I will certainly be telling others!
