1. I don’t have a clear vision yet. Can you help me figure it out?

Absolutely. Most of our clients come to us with a feeling, not a fully formed concept.
That’s where we come in. We translate your ideas, preferences, and story into a cohesive design direction that feels intentional, elevated, and entirely your own.

2. What types of events do you design?

We design intimate, design-forward events where every detail matters.
This includes private dinners, milestone celebrations, brand events, and curated social gatherings.
Our work is best suited for clients who value atmosphere, storytelling, and a refined guest experience.

3. What does your design process look like?

Our process begins with discovery. We take the time to understand your vision, aesthetic, and the experience you want to create. From there, we develop a full design concept including mood boards, color palettes, and layout direction. Every detail is thoughtfully planned, then brought to life through on-site styling and execution.

4. How involved will I be in the process?

As involved as you’d like to be. We guide you through the key creative decisions while handling the details behind the scenes. Whether you prefer to be hands-on or take a step back, we ensure the process feels smooth, organized, and well-managed.

5. Do you offer planning or coordination services?

Design is at the core of what we do.
However, we offer planning or coordination support when it enhances the overall experience. For clients seeking a more seamless process, we can step in to assist with logistics and vendor alignment as needed.

6. Can you work alongside my planner or coordinator?

Yes. We frequently collaborate with planners and coordinators.
Our role is to ensure the visual direction is executed beautifully while working in sync with your team to create a cohesive and well-run event.

7. What’s the difference between an event designer and a planner?

An event designer focuses on how your event looks and feels. This includes the atmosphere, styling, layout, and overall guest experience. A planner manages timelines, logistics, and vendor coordination.
We often work alongside planners to bring both sides together seamlessly.

8. Do you work with other vendors during setup?

Yes. We collaborate closely with your vendor team to ensure everything aligns with the design vision and is executed properly. Clear communication and coordination are key to creating a seamless final result.

9. Do you assist with event setup and breakdown?

We are always present for setup and styling to ensure every detail is executed as planned.
We also provide strike support when needed and remain on-site until everything is complete. We believe in seeing the vision through from beginning to end.

10. How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking 6–12 months in advance, depending on the event type.
Because we take on a limited number of clients to maintain a high level of detail and service, early inquiries are strongly encouraged.

11. Do you travel for events?

Yes. We are available for destination events and travel based on the scope of the project.
Travel fees and accommodations will be discussed during the proposal stage.

12. What is your starting investment?

Each event is custom, so pricing varies based on scope, design complexity, and guest count.
We will provide a tailored proposal after learning more about your event. Our clients typically invest in a full-service design experience that prioritizes detail, intention, and execution.

13. What makes Agate Haus different?

We don’t design based on trends. We design based on you.
Every event is approached with intention, layering, and a focus on how it will feel for your guests. Our goal is to create experiences that feel complete, thoughtful, and unforgettable from the moment guests arrive.

14. How do I get started?

Start by submitting an inquiry through our contact form.
We’ll review your event details and follow up with next steps to see if we’re the right fit. From there, we’ll guide you through the process with clarity and care.
