I declined an offer

Hey Fam ! I just wanted to share that I had to turn down the opportunity to decorate the 60th birthday party. I was really excited about it, but the amount of work and rentals she wanted didn’t align with the budget she had in mind. She was asking for three backdrops, a dessert table setup, 40 chairs, and the serpentine table, and was looking to spend around $1,000–$1,500.

Based on everything she requested, I provided an estimate of about $4,600–$6,500, give or take, to properly cover the rentals, materials, setup, and the overall look she wanted. I always want to make sure my work is done at a high standard, and at her budget I would have ended up spending much more out of pocket just to make it look the way it should.

As much as I would have loved to do it, I had to stand firm on my pricing and respectfully decline.
