Logo has been developed along with hex colours and fonts to keep marketing consistent. Business has been recognised as the winner the past two years running in the category of “Event Decorator – Central Coast” in the Wedding Industry Awards.
• OPPORTUNITIES!
1. Work your own hours from home to give you flexibility and a good work-life balance;
2. Exciting and often stunning locations to work at when setting up events;
3. A supportive events industry on the Central Coast with potential to create lucrative connections with other vendors. It’s such a positive to connect with likeminded people;
4. It's rare to work in a position that gives you so much job satisfaction once the work is done. You'll be playing a significant role in your client’s special celebration and meeting wonderful people from all walks of life. When you see the joy that your set ups create it's contagious;
5. FUTURE BOOKINGS ALREADY IN THE SYSTEM! Rather than starting from the ground up, this is a wonderful opportunity for someone to take over a going concern. Currently over 30 future bookings in the system so a guaranteed income stream as soon as take over begins. Current owner will provide training for a smooth handover.
• No previous experience or qualifications needed, just a good eye for detail, great people and organisational skills and to be fit and healthy.
• With Covid restrictions finished, and warmer weather on the way, the business is ready to thrive and create excellent financial rewards!
• Rather than start a business from scratch, this is your chance to save a lot of long hours and hard work on sourcing & photographing stock, creating a website, building a brand and database, establishing social media platforms and much much more. Still plenty of opportunity to bring your own flair and ideas to make it truly yours!
