It’s Thursday, and in the middle of the morning you receive a call from a new client, Mathieu, who turns 30 in 4 months. You make an appointment to meet him and discuss his project in more detail.

You offer him all the first ideas that come to mind through this theme and according to your client’s desires. You will also discuss the budget allocated to this evening, as well as the location and configuration of the reception hall. You must be able to visualize the space you will have to decorate in order to optimize the place as much as possible.
The search for decorations and service providers:
From there, the serious things begin. You will first of all carry out a whole research work on your theme in order to establish a common thread. You must tell a story by letting your creativity run free in order to build wonderful memories for your client. You will make many trips to find the objects and decorations you have imagined. You will also meet different service providers, especially for pastry, to design a magnificent cake for this theme.
