Question 1

Do you replace wedding planners?

Accepted Answer

No. We partner with planners. Ignite is the execution and staffing layer: we deploy the crew, run the floor, and make the planner's vision happen. Planners stay in charge of design and client relationship; we handle the crew and the night-of operation.

Question 2

What kinds of events do you staff?

Accepted Answer

Luxury weddings (ceremony, reception, welcome party, day-after brunch), destination weddings, high-end private events, milestone parties, brand-sponsored wedding activations, after-parties, and corporate hospitality events.

Question 3

How fast can you staff a destination wedding?

Accepted Answer

Standard turnaround is 3–6 weeks for a destination wedding with full crew, training, and travel coordination. We've turned around in 7 days for emergency replacement scenarios. Rush windows carry premiums.

Question 4

Do you carry the right insurance for luxury venues?

Accepted Answer

Yes. General liability, liquor liability (TIPS/TABC/RBS-certified bartenders), and venue-specific additional insureds. We work cleanly with Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Aman, Auberge, Belmond, and independent luxury venues. COIs on file before deployment.

Question 5

Can you produce a brand-sponsored wedding activation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We've built brand activations inside private events — sponsored welcome bars, custom-branded photo experiences, sampling moments, content capture programs. We handle brand compliance and luxury venue standards simultaneously.

Question 6

Will your crew look the part?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We dress to the planner's spec — black tie, white coat, all-black, branded, smart casual. We brief each ambassador on service tone, posture, language, and the small details that separate a wedding from a generic event.

Question 7

Can you handle multi-day weekends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Welcome party Friday, ceremony + reception Saturday, brunch Sunday — we plan and staff the full weekend with consistent crew where the program needs continuity.

Question 8

What markets do you cover?

Accepted Answer

All 50 states. Strongest depth in NYC, LA, Miami, Aspen, Napa, Charleston, Nashville, Austin, San Diego, the Hamptons, Palm Beach, and most luxury destination resort markets. International on request via partner networks.
