FAQ

This is probably the most important question for most brides. You’ll find Jane Rae Events offers competitive rates and we’re more than happy to provide you with a personalized estimate. It’s hard to tell you what your costs will be without knowing what you want, but we do have a price sheet that can give you a general idea of our starting package prices. The best way to tackle this question is to give us a call or drop us an email.

Yes! We load, unload, carry, hang, tie, drape, connect and work like crazy to set up your day. If you want, we can even tear it all back down after your reception is over. This is one of our most popular services.

Absolutely! It just depends how involved you want to be in your design.

We customize our services to exactly what you need. You can use us for as much or as little as you need.

Both! We have an in-house floral team who creates unique arrangements and bouquets using fresh or silk flowers.

A contract will be sent to you along with your proposal and first invoice. The contract states to put down a non-refundable deposit of $500 to hold your wedding date. The payment will, of course, go towards your overall amount due. We require this because we dedicate our time and team to your wedding day, and refuse other business to provide you with our services. An important thing to remember when receiving your initial proposal, the total stated is NOT your actual total, because that will be determined when your design and counts are final. The initial prices and photos are there to give us a starting point.

There is no typical. We customize our services to each client. Some need us there from set-up all the way through tear-down, and some just want us there for day of coordination or to deliver rental items. Your wedding will be like no one else’s, so typical is not really very typical.

We typically require the items to be returned the following Tuesday after your wedding day. If there are extra miles in-between us, we can be flexible.

The pick up time is a little more flexible than return. Usually we have you pick up your items on the Thursday or Friday before the event day at our showroom near downtown Sioux Falls.

Of course. If you aren’t in need of florals/planning services we do offer just rentals. We have an extensive inventory of items listed on our website under the “Wedding + Social” tab, then “Rental Look Book”. If you don’t see what you’re looking for reach out and we might have it! The rental deposit is 50% at the time of booking.

It is a $500 deposit to hold your wedding date for rental packages, or 30% of your total due for planning packages. Mid-way from your booking date and wedding date, another 30% of your total is due. Ten days before your wedding date you will need to be paid in full.

We’re always flexible and up for an adventure. We generally stay within 4-5 hours from Sioux Falls, but have been known to venture a little farther. There is a $.955 per mile travel fee for wedding locations ten miles out of the Sioux Falls area. We have several clients from West River, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. Just ask!

We’re happy to work with things you have to help make your day more personal and reflective of you. There is a minimum amount of rentals you must reserve in order for us to setup with your items as well as items from our inventory. In order to give the best service with our items we provide, we prefer a limited amount of personal items for set-up.

We provide you with samples at our design meetings to look at so you have a great idea of what things will look like. Centerpieces, florals, table set-ups, chair covers, and sashes… there will be no surprises. We do all this in advance so if there is something you want to change, we have time to change it.

Sioux Falls is our home, but we’re not here very often! We deliver all over, all the time.

Tell us what you have in mind or bring in pictures you like and we will put together a presentation for you that brings it all together and helps you narrow your options, based on your budget and your dreams.
