My creative workflow
A clear, five-step path from first idea to “good to go” — so you always know what happens next, whether you are booking a wedding in Whitchurch-Stouffville or a festival main stage in Toronto.
Discover
A discovery call is where we get specific: your date, venue (or venue options if you have not booked one yet), guest count, budget range, and — most importantly — the feeling you want the room to have. Is this a black-tie gala that should feel like a broadcast, a backyard-style wedding that should feel intimate, or a festival that needs to feel massive from the first act? We also flag anything that affects scope early: hybrid streaming, outdoor power needs, or a headline act you already have in mind.
Design
Design translates the discovery conversation into an actual creative concept: a staging and lighting design, a show-flow document (what happens minute-by-minute), a technical specification (audio, video, lighting gear list), and curated talent recommendations matched to your brand and budget. For corporate and wedding clients this stage produces mockups and a run sheet; for festivals and concerts it produces a full technical rider and site plan.
Plan
Planning turns the design into logistics: a locked budget with line-item pricing, vendor and venue coordination (so your caterer, planner and photographer all know the AV and entertainment schedule), permits and insurance where required, and a detailed run-of-show that every crew member and performer works from. This is the stage where "the plan" becomes a document you can actually hand to your venue coordinator.
Produce
Production is show day itself: load-in on the agreed schedule, sound checks and technical rehearsal, a producer or technical director on-site managing the room throughout, and live execution of the run-of-show — cue by cue, on time. If something needs to adapt in real time (weather, a delayed speaker, a longer-than-planned toast), this is the stage where that gets absorbed without the audience ever noticing.
Good to go
Good to go covers strike (breaking down and loading out safely), a debrief on what worked and what we would adjust next time, and handing over any assets you are owed — photos, video, reference letters for your own marketing. For clients who run recurring events, this stage also sets the stage (literally) for next year's booking.
Common questions about the process
How long does the whole process usually take?
Discovery and design typically run 1-3 weeks; planning continues until show day. Total lead time depends on scope — a wedding might run 2-4 months start to finish, a festival 4-8 months.
Do I need to attend every planning meeting?
No — most clients check in at key milestones (design approval, final run-of-show sign-off) rather than every working session.
What happens if something changes close to the event date?
Because one team owns the whole plan, changes get absorbed and communicated to every affected vendor immediately, instead of you relaying updates between separate companies.
