About Us
At Essential Memories, we help families, couples, businesses and individuals turn life’s most meaningful moments into essential memories. Our team believes life’s most meaningful moments deserve to be cherished forever, not just remembered in the moment, but felt every time you look back on these events.
This business was created from a deep love for preserving the moments that shape us… the laughter, the milestones, the quiet memories that stay in our hearts long after they pass. We understand how important it is to hold onto those experiences, because they tell our stories, connect generations, and remind us of what truly matters.
What started as a passion for creating meaningful keepsakes has grown into something much bigger, a way to help others capture love, legacy, and life’s most precious moments in a tangible, lasting way. Every piece created through Essential Memories is made with intention, care, and a genuine desire to honor your story.
We don’t just create products and memories, we create something you can hold onto during life’s happiest celebrations and its most tender moments. Whether it’s for a special occasion, a tribute, or simply a reminder of a beautiful time in your life.
Because to our team, these aren’t just memories… they’re essential.

How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking your event as early as possible to ensure availability and allow adequate time for planning.
For smaller events, we suggest securing your date at least 3–4 weeks in advance. Larger events typically require 2–6 months of advance booking, while weddings are best scheduled 6–12 months ahead to allow for a seamless and well-coordinated experience.

Delivery and travel are available for all service areas; however, additional delivery and travel fees may apply based on the location of your event.
Do you handle setup and breakdown?
Yes, we provide full setup and breakdown services to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for our clients. Delivery, installation, and post-event breakdown are included with select packages; however, specific services may vary depending on your event needs.
Any additional services or requirements will be clearly outlined and discussed during the planning process, and applicable fees will be included in your customized quote.
Can I customize my event package?
Absolutely. We offer fully customizable event packages designed to bring your vision to life. From themes and color palettes to décor, rentals, and service options, every detail can be tailored to reflect your unique style and preferences.
Our team works closely with you throughout the planning process to ensure your event is personalized, cohesive, and executed to perfection.
What is required to secure my date?
To secure your event date, a signed contract agreement and a non-refundable deposit are required. The deposit amount will be applied toward your total balance and confirms your booking with us. Deposits are due within 24-48hrs of signing the agreement via DocuSign or In-Person.
The remaining balance is typically due prior to your event date, with specific payment terms outlined in your contract. All details, including payment schedules and policies, will be clearly communicated during the booking process to ensure a smooth and transparent experience.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We understand that plans can change. In the event of a cancellation or request to reschedule, clients must notify us as soon as possible. All deposits are non-refundable; however, rescheduling may be accommodated based on availability and must be requested within a specified time-frame.
Any payments made may be applied toward a new event date if rescheduled within the allowed period. Please note that additional fees may apply depending on the changes requested.
Full details regarding cancellations, rescheduling, and applicable fees are outlined in your service agreement to ensure clarity and transparency.
