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

For us to provide a comprehensive quote, it is important for us to know the duration our services are required, the age group and approximate number of the guests, a possible theme, if the event will be indoors or outdoors. Would you be requiring the full package of face painting as well as temporary tattoos? We also provide at an additional price, the option of photography, whereby the clients can have a photo of themselves at the event printed straight away to take home reminding them of a wonderful event.

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

A customer looking to hire a professional face painter, should establish if the face painter is insured. Make sure they indicate that the products they use are FDA and EU standard. Look at examples of their work to decide the standard you are purchasing and always look at the reviews of the artist, as this will give you a fairly good idea of what to expect.

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

I started my face painting career 25 years ago. I had organised a music festival which attracted 2000 people and I needed a face painter. I became not just the organiser, but the face-painter too. I continued to play with face paints doing local festivals and village hall events, including the school plays my children were in such as The Wizard of Oz. However, over the past few years I have taken the skill to a whole new level, placing myself among the advanced professional face painters in the industry both in makeup artistry and face & body-painting. My nature is dedicated, reliable, straight forward and accommodating. I have great patience with children and particularly enjoy face painting young adults.

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

Wow! There have been quite a few bookings through this platform over the past year. In fact, for me it has been the number 1 platform, and I love its ease of use. It also allows communication to flow easily between
customer and supplier. If I had to pick one event I got booked through on this site, it would have to be the Yamaha MT Tour Event that was held in Bedfordshire. For this event, I produced Yamaha MT logo themed stencils for temporary tattoo art. I also provided my photography skills, which saw each client go home with a snapshot of themselves. The person who booked me was a fantastic host, and the team involved were fabulous to work with. I would 100% recommend Add to Event, as it has been of great value to my business.
