Weddings
Wedding planning can be a lot of work and I know there are many decisions to make!
​
My hope is that upon inquiring with Kyrsten’s Sweet Designs, the decisions for your wedding day sweets will become EASY and that we can have FUN planning them together! :)
​
My ultimate goal for your wedding day is to provide a beautiful display of sweets that perfectly compliments your wedding venue & personal style – and most importantly, that it will have you & your guests talking about how delicious everything was for years to come!

BOOKING PROCESS
There are two general options for moving forward with securing a wedding booking with Kyrsten's Sweet Designs.
OPTION 1:
You know you definitely want to book! YAY!
If you've been to a wedding or other event where you've already tried my cake or if you've been personally recommended by another one of my sweet clients and you just KNOW you want to secure your date with me, this might be the option for you!
​
(Assuming I am available for your wedding date), we would first start with a phone consultation to get to know each other a little better and discuss what you have in mind for your wedding day sweets. This step is super important and very helpful to the process, as we want to make sure your vision lines up with what I'm able to offer and that we're a good fit!
​
After the phone consult, I follow up with a custom pricing Proposal and send you a copy of my Wedding Cake Contract for you to review. At that point, if you would like to secure your date and book with me, you will be given instructions for how to do so. A $250.00 non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date.
​
As a KSD wedding client, you receive a complimentary design meeting & cake tasting with your booking! The tasting box can be ordered at any time, and the final design meeting would be scheduled closer to 3-4 months before your wedding.
Option 2:
You're interested but want to try some cake first!
This option is very similar to "Option 1" -
​
(Assuming I am available for your wedding date), we would first start with a phone consultation to get to know each other a little better and discuss what you have in mind for your wedding day sweets. This step is super important and very helpful to the process, as we want to make sure your vision lines up with what I'm able to offer and that we're a good fit!
​
After the phone consult, I follow up with a custom pricing Proposal and send you a copy of my Wedding Cake Contract for you to review.
At that point, if you would like to taste some cake prior to making your decision, we can discuss setting up a time for you to pick up a box of samples to take home and try!
​
The sample box is $25.00 (due prior to pick-up) and will include an assortment of 4 cake flavors, 4 buttercream flavors & 2 items from the "other goodies" list (you and your fiance would choose these from the list of flavors I offer).
If you choose to move forward with securing your booking, this $25.00 will be subtracted from your final balance, so the samples end up being free ;)
A $250.00 non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date.
​
If you choose to move forward with securing your date, you will receive a complimentary design meeting with your booking. That meeting is something we would schedule closer to 3-4 months or so before your wedding.
Kyrsten's Sweet Designs is INCLUSIVE - serving all couples of all races, gender identities, sexualities, cultures & religions. I'm in the business of celebrating LOVE and serving with love! :)
POLICIES
It is an absolute honor to be chosen as the person a couple trusts to bring their wedding day sweets vision to life! And even better when we become friends through the planning process :)
However, I understand that each individual client has their own vision and set of needs. So before submitting an inquiry, please review the policies below to make sure we’re a good fit! Bringing your wedding day dreams to life requires the perfect vendors who can meet all of your needs – which is why I believe it’s important to call attention to these items before beginning the inquiry process.
Thank you in advance for understanding my policies and limitations. And thank you for considering Kyrsten’s Sweet Designs for your wedding day sweets!
EXCLUSIVITY
In order to secure a wedding booking, it is required that Kyrsten’s Sweet Designs be the sole entity providing cake for your wedding.
*For example, if you and your partner are only looking for a small cake for cutting/ceremonial purposes, KSD will unfortunately not be the right fit for your wedding day needs.
​
This policy is to protect the integrity, reputation and quality of my business. Due to liability and reputational risk, Kyrsten’s Sweet Designs will not provide a wedding cake when other cakes, sheet cakes or cupcakes are provided by any other baker or company.
The addition of other desserts are okay (donuts, cookies, french macarons, etc.) as these are things that I do not offer. However, KSD will not provide wedding cakes or cupcakes when a majority of your desserts are provided by another vendor. In order to secure a wedding booking, it must be full-service (meaning you are ordering your wedding cake through KSD, as well as cake for a majority of your guests).
If you have guests with specific allergies and need to provide additional items for their dietary needs, this would be an exception, of course – that is absolutely fine to outsource those items!
ORDER MINIMUM
KSD will travel within a maximum radius of approximately 40 - 50 miles to deliver a wedding cake order.
​
A $750.00 minimum order is required for all wedding bookings.
*Exclusions to this minimum are The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion, Historic King Mansion & The West Shore Country Club.
The minimum order requirement for those venues is $600.00
(Holiday weekends are the $750 minimum)
​
Because I operate my business independently, I can only take one or two weddings per day each weekend. It is of the utmost importance to me that every wedding order gets the appropriate amount of time and attention it needs. Therefore, I have made it a priority to specialize in only full-service weddings so that my couples (and their wedding guests) can have an exceptional, one of a kind experience. Thank you in advance for understanding!
