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

For us to provide a comprehensive quote to a customer, we need the event date and start time, duration, a brief explanation of the type of event they are hosting, the estimated number of guests, the potential venue and whether it's an indoor or outdoor event.

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

Suppliers come in all different shapes and sizes. Ask the face painter about the services they are offering and equipment that they use. I wouldn't want my face painted with a sponge that was used on the person before me for example. When hiring a face painter or temporary tattooist, always ask if they are using only cosmetic grade and EU approved face paints, glitter and adhesives. Ask them how many years they have been in service, whether they have the relevant insurances and DBS clearance; after all more often than not we're face painting children or vulnerable people.

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

T's Face Painting was launched after falling in love with face painting while practicing rare designs for a Butlins Music Weekend. From that moment, I expanded my kit to include an array of colours, rainbows and multicoloured palettes, plus loads of glitter, gems and more. After a year of trading and hundreds of hours of practice under my belt, I launched the temporary/glitter tattoo arm of the business. Then in year 3, I added special FX makeup and prosthetics to my growing list of services. I love my business and always aim to provide a great service and make people smile.

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

I have only been advertising on Add to Event for a couple of months but have had loads of bookings already added to my diary. I can't comment on any particular booking at present, because I am yet to work the first one. I have gained plenty of experience through bookings via social media and my website which have all been fantastic. Add to Event is still growing, and I do my part to promote the platform.
