What it is
A small storefront or office with a showroom for decor samples, invitations and tablescapes, where families meet you, pick themes and book services. You manage the full celebration and may bring in a choreographer, florist and decorator, with a small team.
Your first three steps
- Find a small retail or office unit in a neighborhood with a strong Latino community and check zoning and lease terms
- Build a sample portfolio of decor setups and a price list, and get a few vendor partners on board
- Register your LLC, get an EIN and sales tax registration if you sell or rent taxable items, and start promoting on Instagram, Facebook and at bridal expos
Who pays
Families planning a larger celebration who want one trusted contact for everything, plus vendors who pay for referrals or rent decor.
How it makes money
Full planning packages, decor and prop rental, invitations and party favors, plus day-of coordination fees. Some studios also offer dance rehearsal space by the hour.
