Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're planning your first party or your fiftieth, a few questions always come up. Here’s everything you need to know about working with Made With Love Gatherings.

👑 General Questions

Do you only plan big, fancy parties?
Not at all! I specialize in heartfelt, stylish gatherings of all sizes—from cozy backyard dinners to baby showers, milestone birthdays, and more. If it’s worth celebrating, it’s worth celebrating beautifully.

Do you only work with clients in Ontario?
I offer full-service planning in the Ottawa area (travel fees may apply beyond 50 km). If you’re outside this region, my virtual planning consultations and DIY tools are a great fit!

Do I need to be a social butterfly to host a great party?
No, Queen! As an introvert myself, I know how to make hosting feel easeful and aligned with your personality. Whether you love the spotlight or prefer behind-the-scenes moments, your gathering can reflect you.


💼 Services & Packages

What’s the difference between your planning packages?
I offer three levels of support:

Full-Service Collaborative Planning (Done-With-You): Hands-on help for busy women who want support from start to finish.

Signature Planning Package (Done-For-You): I plan and set up your party so you can just show up and shine.

1-Hour Party Planning Consultation: A quick, power-packed session to get you unstuck and inspired.

Can you help me with just one part of the event (like food or setup)?
Absolutely! My packages are flexible. If you only need help shopping, styling, or brainstorming a menu, I’ve got you covered.

Do you help with food or catering?
Yes! I can help plan the menu, shop with you (or for you), and even assist with prep. I’m also experienced with dietary needs—vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options are no problem.


📅 Booking & Payments

How do I book a planning service?
Easy! You can book directly through the website. Once you’ve confirmed your date, payment secures your spot. If you're unsure where to start, book a 1-Hour Consult and we’ll create a plan together.

Do you offer payment plans?
Not at this time. Full payment is required to reserve your service, but I keep my packages flexible and transparent so you know exactly what you're getting.

What’s your cancellation policy?
Consults can be rescheduled with 48 hours’ notice. Due to the customized nature of event planning, all services are non-refundable. I’m always happy to adjust timelines if needed—just reach out.


Planning Support

I’m overwhelmed. Can you help me figure out where to start?
Yes! That’s exactly what I’m here for. If you’re feeling frozen by Pinterest or stuck in decision fatigue, book a 1-Hour Party Planning Consultation—we’ll make a clear, exciting plan together.

How far in advance should I start planning?
The earlier the better—especially for full-service support! Ideally, book 4–8 weeks ahead. But don’t worry, I’ve pulled off beautiful gatherings in less time too.

Can I use your services if I already have a theme or ideas?
Absolutely. You bring the vision, I’ll help you pull it together. I love collaborating with clients who have a creative spark—they just need a clear plan to execute it beautifully.


🎀 Decor & Setup

Can you help style my party or decorate my space?
Yes! I bring years of styling experience and a curated collection of party supplies to make your space shine—without the stress. Let’s bring your vision to life, beautifully.

Do you provide décor, linens, or serving trays?
Full-service clients have access to my personal party collection—think linens, trays, signage, and more. If we need to purchase something special, I’ll let you know in advance.

What if I’m planning in a small space?
Small spaces can still host big memories! I’ll help you design a layout that makes the most of your space—cozy and stylish, without feeling cramped.


📸 Photos, Privacy & Policies

Will you use photos from my event?
Only with your permission. I love showcasing real celebrations, but I’ll always ask before sharing any photos in my portfolio, on social media, or for marketing.

Do you keep my personal information private?
Absolutely. Your trust matters. Read my full Privacy Policy to learn how your data is used and protected.

Where can I read the full terms and conditions?
You can find them here. Everything from payments to cancellations is clearly outlined so you know exactly what to expect.
