Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: My venue requries a “day of coordinator.” What’s the big deal? What do you do?

A: It may seem like an extra expense to have a day of coordinator on-site assisting with your big day, but trust us, your venue has your best interest in mind.

As your day-of-coordinator, we assist with the flow of your event. We also make sure that all your vendors arrive and get to work. It’s our job to bring your vision to life by making sure that every element of your day actually happens! Our job is to care about the little details and to also help host and cultivate the big picture atmosphere of your event.

Q: I live outside of Colorado Springs, can you still help me?

A: Yes! We’ve coordinated weddings and events in WA, OR, CA, IN, FL, AZ and CO. We provide consultations to assist with any part of your planning process and we are also available to travel to your event.

Q: How do your “packages” work?

A: Each event is unique, we do our best to create customized quotes and packages for each of our couples. In general, day-of-coordination packages include a minimum of one consultation, a walk-thru of your venue and additional hours for your rehearsal/rehearsal dinner as well as 5-12 hours of day-of-coordination. We do our best to keep our pricing affordable and approachable.

Q: What is your experience? How long have you been doing this?

A: We’ve unofficially been planning events for over 15 years. However, Flourish Event Co. was founded in 2018. This business was originally a side-hustle that quickly grew into a full time job! Our past experiences include coordinating non-profit mission trips internationally and around the United States, coordinating warming/night shelters for the homeless, coordinating foster family and children nightly support groups and events as well as coordinating over 100 weddings/corporate events.

Q: Are you insured?

A: Yes! Most venues require insured coordinators. We are!

Q: Who will I be “working with?” Who is on your “team”?

A: 2020 is our first year taking this business full time - because of that we’re still a relatively small team (Amy Abernathy + Caleb Abernathy and occasionally our assistants Megan and Sarah!) Amy does the majority of initial phone calls, consultations and venue walk-thru’s, however Sarah, Megan and Amy split the day-of-coordination role while Caleb plays parking attendant and best-side-kick-ever.

Q: I’m nervous about handing off my big day to someone I don’t even know… (not really a question, but how I feel.)

A: We get it! One of our favorite things about assisting with weddings is becoming your friend and advocate. By spending time chatting with you and getting to know you and your partner, we’re able to show up with your best interest in mind. We know what’s stressing you out and we know the things you’re most excited about. It may sound corny, but we’re really invested in your love story and feel honored to be a part of it.

Q: I’ve hired you … now what?

A: We're so excited to be working with you! Now that you’ve signed your contract we’ll follow-up with a time for your first consultation. These consultation meetings are a great chance for us to get to know each other and for us to ask you a million questions. During these meetings we often find your stressors and areas that may need additional thought or assistance. Haven’t thought about what happens to your cake after you cut your first slice? Haven’t thought about your grand exit? We’ll help you with each step of your big day and make sure that you feel completely confident and excited about every detail.
