Planning Your Experience
How far in advance should I book my experience?
We recommend reserving your experience as early as possible to ensure availability, especially for weekends, holidays, and peak seasons. While we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings, booking in advance gives us the greatest opportunity to thoughtfully plan and personalize your celebration.
How does payment work?
A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your date and begin planning your experience. The remaining balance is due 48 hours prior to your scheduled event.
Experiences booked within 7 days of the event date require full payment at the time of booking.
Once your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive a confirmation email with all the details for your upcoming experience.
We gladly accept:
Apple Pay
PayPal
Venmo
Zelle
Cash App
How long does each experience last?
Our Signature Experiences are designed for two hours, giving you plenty of time to relax, celebrate, and create lasting memories.
Need a little more time? Additional hours are available for $50 per hour. We kindly request at least 48 hours' notice whenever possible.
Our Proposal Experiences are designed for one hour, with additional time available upon request.
Do you provide food and beverages?
Willow & Bloom Events specializes in creating beautifully curated outdoor experiences and does not provide food or alcoholic beverages.
However, we're happy to recommend trusted local caterers and charcuterie vendors to help complete your celebration.
Complimentary bottled water is included with every experience, and you're welcome to bring your own food and beverages.
If you choose to bring alcoholic beverages, it is the client's responsibility to comply with all local laws and regulations regarding alcohol consumption at public parks, beaches, or other venues.
Where can my experience be set up?
One of the things our clients love most is the flexibility to celebrate wherever the moment feels right.
We can beautifully stage your experience at:
The beach
A local park
Your backyard
Private residences
Vacation rentals
Other approved outdoor locations
If you need inspiration, we'd be delighted to recommend some of our favorite scenic locations throughout Northeast Florida.
What time should we arrive?
Your experience will be completely prepared before your scheduled arrival, so all you have to do is arrive and enjoy.
A member of the Willow & Bloom team will greet you, ensure everything is perfect, and then leave you to enjoy your celebration in privacy.
If you choose to leave earlier than your reserved time, we kindly ask that you notify us by phone or text at least 30 minutes before your departure so we can begin cleanup.
Guests are responsible for the care of all Willow & Bloom décor, furnishings, and accessories until our team returns.
What happens if something gets damaged?
Accidents happen, and we're happy to take care of all cleanup—that's part of the Willow & Bloom experience.
However, guests may be responsible for the replacement cost of any décor, furnishings, or equipment that is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond normal wear and tear.
