Processes + Services

Event design is our area of expertise but we do not personally offer decor services at this time.

Erin, founder, owner, and creator of Events by Pins & Petals will always be your designer and planner throughout your entire wedding planning process!
This is one of the very helpful tasks we work on the month of your wedding. As the days lead up to your wedding day we also work with all vendors to ensure they have the most up to date timeline and logistic information, too.
In most weddings, Erin is your Day-Of Coordinator to see your wedding day all the way through. There are some weddings that do require team members to run the day of coordination but clients will be informed of this ahead of time.
The couple must obtain their own event insurance, I provide my own certificate of insurance, and each vendor provides their own which I help to collect and provide to the venue.

Timing
As soon as you know you’re ready to get to work planning your big day! I don’t recommend booking more than 18 months in advance, however.
Absolutely – while we highly recommend allocatting enough time before your event to get all the details perfect, sometimes situations and/or preferences require a quicker timeline than expected and we’re euipped to handle short notices.
Policies
Having dealt with countless cancellations and rescheduling due to COVID, I have become well-versed in this unfortunate occurrence. I allow rescheduling within 1 calendar year without penalty or fees so long as the general location remains the same. For cancellations, it is a little trickier and usually a case by case basis.
