Yes that is a double negative, I was taught that using a double negative in a sentence canceled out so chances are that you probably will want to cancel on some part of your event contract after reading this.
I have had it with adding tables and chairs and linens for the DJ, the photographer, the balloon artist and on and on and on. As a designer I must add this to my contract and it comes out of my allocation for design; consequently, my client gets less floral, less lighting, less decor because they want to stay within their decor "budget".
These other industry "professionals" are signing contracts with great profit margins; it is time that they become responsible for their own gear.
Please do not come to me anymore at an event and ask "where is my table and linen?" Put it on your contract and take it out of YOUR profit margin not my decor allocation!
while I am ranting: this is the kind of topic we should be discussing at NACE, MPI, and ISES instead of how to shake hands or take a long walk...
I more than welcome discussion on this!!!
