Event picker, curator, deviser, and designer for the love of all things vintage, antique, offbeat and unique. I am looking forward to helping tell your story in style, and have crafted my pricing tier in such a way that I can serve you as little or as much as you need. Reckless romantic and sometimes mad scientist, I am passionate about composing a bespoke vision for your occasion.

Message For Clients
Reserve any event plans early in the planning process, especially JM Signature Parties, Jubilee Light, Jubilee Half Moon, and Beneath A Full Jubilee Moon (at least 6 months). I want your experience with us to be wonderful, so I want ample time to properly plan for your event. Boutique designs/projects are charged per design/project. Check with your venue to be certain we have plenty of setup and style time. If we end up in a serious crunch, extra hands will be available to meet time constraints. I bring assistants based on size and scope of event, complexity of sets, and special requests (please read Setup & Breakdown Needs). In the absence of a caterer, I offer Buffet/Food Styling services. A deposit is required to reserve your date and stock of specialty decor for all plans except JM Creative Consult. Please read the following information. Event size and scope, boutique projects, desired materials, empty/outdoor venue, securing outside rentals, elaborate sets, services offered by other contracted event professionals and setup/breakdown needs affect quotes. Traveling outside of 35 miles requires a fee assesment, as well as hauling over-sized items or large quantities.
Boutique Projects
A boutique project is anything that I create for you with raw materials (i.e. custom draping, bridal party flowers, centerpieces, special request decorative items, requested table backdrops, dressings for chairs, labels, favors, paper flowers, etc.) When you request a quote, in a few days I will return an estimate to you.
Setup & Breakdown Needs
When I come with assistants to serve your event, we setup all JM Specialty Decor. If you have asked for any of the full service styling plans, we will dress any tables I bring with your cloths/JM cloths or tables that I will be styling. Any embellishments to chairs that I have made or come from JM will also be setup by my crew. If JM created your centerpieces for guest tables, we will cloth those tables and style the centerpieces. We break down all of our JM Specialty Decor. If you purchased any boutique projects, you or someone you designate is responsible for breaking down and taking care of your purchased items. If your venue is empty, outdoors, requires emptying or a great deal of rearranging and we are not involved in styling a particular area or tables, you may request setup, emptying for a new set, or large scale rearranging of tables, chairs, cloths, and place settings for the following fee schedule:
-
$1 chair + ($1)chair cover, + ($.75)sash, cap or buckle
-
$3 hay bale + ($.50) to cover or blanket
-
$3 a table + ($2)cloth, + ($1.50)overlay +($1) runner + ($3.50 EACH) install skirting
-
Other large items per project ( i.e. arbors, pews, etc. )
-
Place settings @ $.10 per piece (Glasses, plates, charger plates, forks, knives, spoons,
coffee cups, saucers, favors, placecards, table numbers, etc) UNLESS you have purchased full service styling and we are handling your linens or have designed specific items for place settings or tables, then it will be included in quoted price for your plan. *Napkin folding, tying bows, extra decorative details considered styling and will be included in full service quotes.
*Breakdown of tables, chairs, linens, large rentals that are not our property is a flat fee of $400, regardless of size of party.
*We do not breakdown tableware, unless we have used something from our stock ( I.e. chargers). We do not handle dirty dishes unless they are pieces that belong to us. We do not handle leftover food, kitchen cleanup, sweeping, or mopping.
*Washing or ironing cloths is not available. Any linens we bring will be ready to place.
JM Specialty Decor Statement
All Jubilee Moon Specialty Decor is property of Jubilee Moon, and will only be handled by Jubilee Moon and assistants. If broken or made in disrepair by client, another vendor, or guest, the client will be notified and billed the cost of replacement.
Outdoor Event Setup Information
Any of the full service plans for weddings or parties will be charged a minimum $50 surcharge for outdoor events.
We charge this fee because these places are often very difficult to access. It takes longer to complete the setup in most cases, and we cannot use standard carts and dollies in the grass. Parking is normally far from the event site. These are things to consider when booking an outdoor event. If weather issues arise on the day of your wedding, it is important to
have a plan "B" in place that you love! If you have to change your ceremony or reception "plan" on the spot, we may or may not be able to assist in the process, depending on whether or not we are obligated at another event or if we have enough staff to meet your venue's time crunch. Watch the weather and have plenty of backup available! If it is rainy or windy, we cannot be held responsible or be expected to issue a refund if our Jubilee Moon Specialty Decor or requested boutique projects cannot be used on that day. It is difficult to get your props and rentals to stand up straight on grass, and they can tip over, be blown over with minimal wind, and have a higher risk of breaking. All these risks are assumed by the client, and not your rental company or Jubilee Moon. For GREATER OUTDOOR EVENT SUCCESS, I repeat, have a plan "B" that you love! Rent a tent. Choose heavy items like wrought iron or plaster instead of plastic or arches that are easily blown over. Choose to have your candles deep inside heavy, tall hurricanes or glass cylinders. Otherwise, choose LED candles or lighted strands to create your glow. Nothing provides a better backdrop than nature, and I want your event to be successful!
Empty Room Information
Please read "Setup and Breakdown Needs" regarding empty rooms, rooms having to be emptied, heavily rearranged, or outdoor venues for information.
Deposits
All plans with the exception of JM Creative Consult require a deposit to secure your date and decor. JM Creative Consult must be paid prior to service.
Payment
Another deposit of 50% of the remaining balance is assessed and due at signing of the contact, which includes detailed descriptions and final decor decisions. If you have purchased boutique projects (please see above for description), an estimate will be included in the contract. I'd like to have the contract in place within 6-8 weeks of initial deposit to secure date and decor so I can start working for you in a timely fashion. It benefits both of us! Your boutique projects estimate must be paid in full 60 days before your event date to provide me with materials to complete them, and sooner if you waited 2 months or less to book a plan ( I cannot complete full service plans in that time frame). Remaining balance must be paid in full 2 weeks prior to event. I cannot accept payments the day of, day before, or after. Unfortunately, many people forget in the flurry of activity or choose not to settle.
