FAQ

We often work side by side with event planners who are coordinating all of the vendors for your special event. They typically act as a liaison, who will guide you when booking a wide variety of services (food, entertainment, location, favors, etc.) for your affair. There job duties can range drastically based on the planner (and their experience) and the scope of the work for which you have hired them.

Our duties typically include aiding the planner in selecting the services that best meet the needs of their client. We offer basic quotes on furniture, site visits/floor plans and even full room renderings, depending on your needs.

Let’s use a mitzvah celebration as a sample event. An event planner would typically help you with: finding a venue, invitations, place cards, assist you with your food selections with a venue or caterer, selecting entertainment, assist you in picking out your decor and flowers/centerpieces, purchasing your swag and securing the contracts for all of these services. (This was just a basic list, duties may go much further.)

Our duties would be limited to designing the decor for the room and possible having some artistic influence on other items that directly coordinate with the decor (centerpieces, printing, posters, dance floor decals, swag artwork, etc.) At this time we do not offer full event planning services. Perhaps you may not have the budget for an event planner or you have already knocked many of those items off your list and just need us to guide you with decor options. This is typically where we work with a client directly.

Lounge It Up works with many talented event planners in Northern New Jersey, and we are happy to offer recommendations based on your needs. Planners offer a variety of packages ranging from complete guidance start to finish or just day of coordination. Obviously their cost is based on their level of involvement, scope and time frame of the event, and most importantly their experience.

We are constantly updating our inventory and producing new pieces for events. Check back often to see what we’ve added.

If you are looking for something specific, please contact us and we’ll let you know if we currently have that in our stock or what the costs would be for our design team to produce it.

We require a 50% deposit to hold our inventory for your event and a signed copy of the contract on file. Until we have those two items in hand, the items are still available for others to rent. In addition, we do not begin producing custom pieces or start any printing without a deposit.

Although drapery and lounge rentals can change a room, lighting is truly what finishes the look. Drapery with uplighting can have so much more of an impact. Uplighting alone around a perimeter of a room can really help add some depth and ambiance. If you have also invested in beautiful floral arrangements, you want to make sure they don’t get lost in a dimly lit room with uplighting. We see this error made time and time again. The room uplighting color tends to change the appearance of the flowers you spent so much time selecting. We strongly suggest you consider pin spotting the centerpieces. We have some of the most cutting edge pin spotting technology available for your event. Everything is wireless and remote controlled in the event it needs to be dimmed at a later time. It also gives us the ability to light a buffet and dim it after the food has been served. We use a warm (amber) soft light fixture so it doesn’t have that stark bluish/white look that people dislike in the new christmas lights or a defined outer edge.
