-
How can I secure a date?Once you receive the event planning and coordination offer and wish to proceed, a detailed agreement will be sent for your review and signature. To secure your date, a deposit of 30-50% will be required to initiate the planning process. This ensures that your event is officially booked and allows us to start crafting the experience you've envisioned.
-
How does the budgeting process work?After initiating the planning process with consultation and analysis, we create a live Excel sheet outlining the key elements needed to shape your event. The sheet is always accessible for edits and updates in real time, allowing you to collaborate effortlessly with your planner. Featuring color coding, it helps you easily track progress, manage your budget, and identify specific elements. This dynamic tool provides a transparent and organised overview, ensuring a smooth planning process from start to finish.
-
Can I make changes to the services after booking?The live Excel sheet remains editable up until one month before your event to ensure all details are finalized well in advance. Installations or custom elements that require more time will be requested by your planner for prior confirmation to proceed smoothly. While small adjustments can still be made up to two weeks before the event, we recommend avoiding last-minute changes to prevent unexpected add-ons or additional charges that could impact the overall flow and outcome of your event. Planning ahead guarantees a smoother, more seamless experience with minimal disruptions. For example, a custom ceremony backdrop would need confirmation at least three months in advance to allow sufficient time for design, testing, and installation. Floral arrangements are typically finalised two months before the event, ensuring they meet availability and design preferences. Further guest customisations, such as seating details, can be adjusted up until two weeks prior. For weddings, we recommend allowing a full month of stress-free time leading up to the big day. This gives you the space to focus on personal preparations such as bachelor/ette parties, beauty treatments, other gatherings, and, most importantly, time for yourselves as a couple to enjoy moments that strengthen your bond. We're always here to offer suggestions or help plan any event leading up to your wedding, ensuring that every celebration is just as memorable as the main day!
-
Will I have a dedicated planner?Yes! You’ll have a dedicated planner who will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your needs and desires are fully met. Your planner is not just there for formal meetings; they’re there to chat whenever you feel like it, making the experience personal and tailored to your comfort. You can easily contact them via WhatsApp or Messenger, and they’ll be available beyond regular office hours, from Monday to Thursday, and sometimes on Fridays. While weekends are generally occupied, it doesn’t stop you from reaching out !
-
How involved will I be in the planning process?You can be as involved in the planning process as you'd like. At Uncommon, we tailor the experience to your preferences. Whether you want to oversee every detail or prefer to let your planner take the lead, your involvement is completely up to you. We offer regular updates, real-time communication via WhatsApp or Messenger, and a live Excel sheet for you to track progress. Your planner is available to chat, answer questions, or discuss ideas whenever you feel the need, making the process as collaborative or hands-off as you prefer.
-
How do I pay?Payments for both services and event service expenses can be made in several transactions for your convenience. However, if you prefer to pay the full amount upfront, you can receive a 5% discount (valid only for event planning services). If you book your event a year in advance, the initial deposit is 30%, followed by a payment of 50%, with the final 20% due closer to the event. For bookings made less than six months in advance, the deposit will be 50%, followed by payments of 30% and then 20% for the final amount. For transparency, all payments should be completed one month prior to the event date to ensure a smooth planning process.
-
What is your cancellation policy?We understand that circumstances can change. Our cancellation policy is outlined in the service agreement you’ll receive upon booking. Please review it carefully, and feel free to ask any questions.
