FAQs 7
- How many years have you been in business?
- I started my own company at the end of 2018. At 22 years old I began taking on various coordination and design internships in college. Working for another planning company for about 7 years molded me to take the steps to start my own. Collectively I have been in the industry for ten years.
- What event planning services do you offer?
- The company offers full-service planning and partial-planning services. The majority of our services are customized to meet a client's needs.
- How would past clients describe working with you?
- Hands-on and patient. Being in direct correspondence throughout the event process with clients is extremely important to me. Making them really understand that we are in this together as a team allows us to execute the vision productively and collectively.
- Will you arrange and manage meetings with my other vendors?
- Yes, Sonia Studios is in constant communication and thoroughly manages and coordinates with our vendors.
- What makes your planning style unique?
- Depending on the client, thinking outside of the box is always my main thought process. I like to explore uncommon patterns, colors, and textures to create a unique experience. Normally, when a client trusts the process, getting them out of their comfort zone always works in everyone's favor.
