Key details for planning
Service area: The instructor travels to offices, event spaces, and private venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and surrounding cities. Additional travel fees may apply for locations outside a 30-mile radius, but this is confirmed at booking.
Who this workshop is for: Corporate teams, department off-sites, client appreciation events, holiday parties, and any group looking for a shared creative experience. The format works equally well for small teams of 10 and larger groups of up to 50 participants (multiple sessions can be arranged for bigger groups).

Logistics and setup
The florist arrives at your location 30 minutes before the scheduled start time to set up workstations. Each participant gets an individual workspace with all materials laid out. The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on group size and complexity of the arrangement. After the session, the instructor packs up all tools and leftover materials — no mess left behind.
Customizable options (available upon request):

- Color palette alignment with company branding or event decor
- Add-on take-home care cards with flower care instructions
- Team-building exercises integrated into the design process (e.g., pair arrangements, group centerpiece)
