  • Washougal, WA. Just 30 minutes outside of Portland.

  • You will need to pay a 30% non-refundable retainer upon the signing/receipt of the contract + security deposit (if applicable). The remainder will be due two weeks prior to your event.

    For services that are based on final guest count, I will adjust the quote accordingly prior to final payment.

  • I offer flat travel fees for local events and many popular destinations across the country, so you can get a clear idea without a bunch of back-and-forth.

    For local celebrations, this typically covers mileage and gas, and for destination events it may include gas/mileage or airfare, lodging (usually 1 night for longer drives/West Coast locations and 2 nights for longer flights), plus a per diem for food and incidentals.

    You’ll see the exact travel fee when you select your region on my inquiry form. If your destination isn’t listed—or if it’s international—a custom travel quote will be required.

  • YES! I would love to travel for your event! Destination travel fees will include but are not limited to Artist’s and support staff’s airfare, car rental, lodging costs for two nights, and $100 per-person, per day Per Diem.

  • I require at least one 4-6ft table, 1-2 chairs, and access to an electrical outlet. If the event is outside during the day time, I must be stationed in a covered area.
