One client-launch fee explanation, an editable discovery review, and clearer boundaries between sample tools and real account records.

What changed & what to review

Client discovery · Review before saving

Edit individual sections, keep your answers, and return to the final review. The final step now includes your story, services and working preferences.

Please try: Prepare a fictional brief, change the guest count from the review, then return and confirm the new value. Nothing is submitted until you authorize and save.

Review celebration discovery

Pricing · One published launch model

The website, discovery, portal fee notes and referral preview share the 5% standard fee, $199 event minimum, $50 credited deposit and lower marginal tiers. Checkout remains off.

Please try: Compare the pricing explanation in discovery and the client information page. Check that professional invoices remain separate.

Review client-launch pricing

Portals · Consistent context and clear availability

Sample navigation preserves the selected event. The client sample profile stays in the sample, and both audiences can compare real-account tools with advanced demonstrations.

Please try: Switch between sample sections and paired client/professional views. Confirm the same event stays selected and open the availability guide.

Review the client sample

Professional samples · Visual Composer

New room, photo and blank-canvas starting points; editable objects, palettes, layers, draft recovery and branded presentation versions.

Please try: Build a small focal setting, move and recolor its pieces, save it, and share a frozen version with the fictional client.

Review the Composer

Client samples · Shared Composer presentations

View only versions deliberately shared from the professional sample. Review decisions stay attached to the exact version.

Please try: Switch to the paired client view in this tab. Review a shared presentation, request a change, then compare it with the next version.

Review the client handoff

Council review · Updates and image framing

Separate today’s date from the latest release date, identify affected sections, check the loaded version and show the complete Council card photographs.

Please try: Check the update summary and section links on desktop or phone. Report confusing labels or cramped controls.

Review the Council entrance

Composer is a fictional sample tool in this release. Sample designs save in this browser tab; Council feedback saves to your account. Real-project cloud saving, real delivery, AI rendering and production-ready artwork are not enabled.

Earlier changes: September 8 · old Client Council email links now forward to their current invitations. September 7 · private Council entry and section notes, client fee wording and sample invoice calculations. Unchanged sections do not need a full repeat review.

From an idea to your project team

A clearer way to find the people behind the experience.

You should not need insider knowledge, ten browser tabs and a spreadsheet of unanswered messages to begin planning well. Fête keeps the search focused while leaving the final decision in your hands.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you are celebrating.

    Your brief captures the people, feeling, priorities, date, investment and practical details behind the event.

  2. 02

    Explore complimentary recommendations based on your Fête Fit, with profiles and reasons that help you understand each connection.

  3. 03

    Choose who you’d like to meet.

  4. 04

Complimentary matches · clear next steps

Explore first. Connect when you’re ready.

Get to know your options before deciding who to consult. Here is when a Fête fee applies and how your introduction deposit is credited.

One Fête fee per event—not one fee per professional.Each event has its own shared workspace, where the client and their booked professionals can keep plans, documents and conversations organized. Professionals can manage multiple events, each in its own workspace. Your professionals continue to send and collect their own invoices directly through their normal systems. The Fête booking fee is separate, transparent and based on the combined pre-tax professional services booked through Fête for that event.

Fête Match intelligence

Meet the people who make sense for your celebration.

Your Fête Matches are the professionals we recommend. Your Fête Fit explains the connection: the services, style, budget, working preferences and practical details that align with your event. Matches and profile browsing are complimentary; a recommendation does not reserve a date or guarantee a booking.

The Fête Standard

Trust should be built into the introduction.

Fête verification is an endorsement—not something a professional can buy. You see the information that matters without reducing creative businesses to a public internal score.

01

Fête Verified

Approved to be introduced and recommended through Fête.

02

External reputation reviewed

Public reputation and submitted references are considered before entry.

03

Business details confirmed

Services, service area and required professional information are reviewed.

04

Standing monitored

Verified Fête work helps determine continued recommendation eligibility.

Choose the kind of support you need

The right professionals for your event.

When client matching launches, start with the roles you need. Review why each professional fits, choose who to work with, and build your event’s Fête Team as each role is confirmed.

Building
Individual professionals

The right specialist for each role.

Meet planners, designers, florists, caterers, balloon artists, fabricators, photographers, entertainers and more.

Building
Fête Teams

A team built around your event.

Choose the professionals matched to your event. Each professional confirms their role; together, they become that event’s Fête Team.

Planned
Venue IQ + venue partners

Know what works in the space.

Venue IQ is planned to bring capacity, weather backup, access and production restrictions into your planning—with sources and confirmation dates for the facts.

Atlanta celebrates in more than one way

Your event should look like your life—not a template.

Fête is being built for the full Atlanta celebration market: intimate and spectacular, traditional and unexpected, children and elders, family milestones and rooms full of movement.

Children + family: Birthdays, milestones and family celebrations designed around wonder, movement and real children—not a smaller version of an adult event.

Looking ahead · planned

A future place to bring your ideas together.

Fête House is envisioned with a welcoming client lounge and private consultation spaces. For now, the community begins online; the House is a long-term vision, not an operating venue.
