Frequently Asked Questions

  • To secure your date, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required for all services.

    The remaining balance is due:

    • 72 hours before your event for Room Decor setups

    • 1 week before the event date for Balloon Installations, Proposals, and Bartending Services

    For last-minute bookings (less than 72 hours’ notice), full payment is due upfront at the time of booking.

  • Absolutely! Most packages and services can be fully customized based on your vision, space, and budget. I also offer a range of add-ons and upgrades, which will be available to select within each inquiry form.

  • I’m based in Maryland and serve the DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia). Travel outside of a 15-mile radius from Bowie, MD is an additional $3 per mile. Hotel valet or parking fees may also apply depending on the location.

  • For room setups:

    Yes, next-day cleanup is available for an additional $150 and can be added when submitting your booking inquiry. If selected, Daymaker Designs will return the following day to remove all décor and take everything down for you.

    If you choose not to include the cleanup service, I’ll leave a cleanup kit behind with scissors, safety pins, and trash bags to make removal easier.

    Please note: If the room is not cleaned properly, the hotel may charge an additional fee. These charges can range from $50 to over $300, depending on the condition of the space at checkout.

    For events:

    Cleanup is included for events that involve intricate or large-scale setups (such as backdrops, marquee letters, or heavy floral/balloon installs). For more simple decor, cleanup is optional and can be added for an additional fee. Pricing will vary depending on the scope of the event and will be included in your quote

  • Setup time depends on the service and package selected, but here’s a general breakdown:

    Room Decor: 1 to 4 hours

    Proposal Setups: 3 to 5 hours, depending on the level of detail and package

    Bartending Services: Setup takes 1 to 1.5 hours before the event start time, and an additional 1 to 1.5 hours is needed after the event for cleanup

    Exact setup and breakdown times will be confirmed in your quote and final communication prior to the event.

  • No, I do not supply alcohol. I’m a dry-hire mobile bartender, which means the client is responsible for purchasing all alcoholic beverages.

    However, I will provide a detailed shopping list based on your selected drink menu and guest count, including the accurate amount of alcohol needed to ensure your event runs smoothly without overspending or running out.
