Décor, flowers and rentals: Questions for Your Quinceañera

Start with your actual plan.

Turn the inspiration photos into an item list with quantities, delivery times and pickup owners.

Bring the event date, location, approximate guest count and the hours you need. Ask the adult family organizer to keep one written record. Her favorite music, comfort and chosen traditions belong in the plan; no tradition is required.

17 questions to take to the conversation.

Use the questions that fit the service you are requesting. Ask for a written answer, quantity or time instead of leaving it at “we take care of everything.”

1. Are you available on our exact date and at our location? What holds the date, and when does this quote or hold expire?
2. Who will actually deliver the service, who can explain the plan in English and Spanish, and how do we approve staff or subcontractor substitutions?
3. Can you list the complete scope and total in one currency, including taxes, required fees, travel and any overtime rates?
4. What deposit and remaining payments are due, on which dates, and how do we receive a receipt and written confirmation?
5. What exact backdrop, table arrangements, flowers, linens and rental quantities are in the quote? Can you attach photos or dimensions?
6. Which pieces match her chosen colors, and who approves a flower, color or material substitution before you buy it?
7. Can we choose a simple setup without a throne, crown motif or other tradition she does not want?
8. Will a large gown and the court have room to move through the backdrop, entrance and dance floor?
9. Who confirms venue rules for attaching decorations, candles, balloons, confetti and outdoor structures?
10. What delivery, setup and pickup windows are booked, and who remains to solve a missing or damaged item?
11. Who supplies ladders, tools and labor, and does removal include flowers, packaging and trash?
12. What counts as rental damage or loss, how is it documented and when is any deposit returned?
13. Can centerpieces leave guests able to see each other, with clear accessible paths and stable pieces away from the dance area?
14. Who checks her name, dates and English/Spanish wording on signs before production? What is the correction deadline?
15. If wind, heat, a missing rental or unavailable flowers change the setup, what approved backup is ready and who pays any difference?
16. If we cancel or change the date, what notice, fees, refunds, credits and new-date availability apply to our booking?
17. What is the final confirmation deadline, who is our event-day contact and how will you document approved changes or a backup plan?
