Pay through Needsey once you agree. The money is held until the job is confirmed done, then released to the provider.
Before you book
- Check the venue's rules on setup times, candles, tape and decorations first.
- Agree what is hire and what you keep, and what happens if something is damaged.
- Confirm setup and pack-down times, and who is on site.
About Event Styling & Decor
An event stylist turns a hall, garden or function room into somewhere that feels like your occasion. People on Needsey book local stylists for weddings, birthdays, baby showers, engagements and work events: balloon garlands, table settings, backdrops, signage and flowers. Post the date, venue, guest numbers and the look you're after, with a few photos if you have them, and local stylists can offer what they would set up and pack down.

Questions about event stylists
What affects the cost of event styling?
The size of the space, how much is hired versus made, flowers, travel, and how long setup and pack-down take.
What should I tell a stylist?
The date, venue, guest numbers, colours or theme, any must-haves, and photos of looks you like.
Do they set up and pack down?
Most do, but agree it before you book, including timing with the venue.
How far ahead should I book?
For weddings and busy weekends, as early as you can. Smaller events can often be arranged a few weeks ahead.
How does payment work on Needsey?
You pay through Needsey once you and a provider have agreed the job. Nothing is charged before then. The money is held until the job is confirmed done: by you, or automatically if you haven't confirmed or pressed Not done yet within 5 days of the provider marking it finished. It is released to the provider 24 hours after that, unless a dispute is raised in that time.
Are providers on Needsey checked?
Every provider completes an ID check before taking jobs. Some work needs more: a Ministry of Justice criminal record check for babysitting, companionship for older people and school tutoring, and a licence and insurance for electrical, plumbing, gas and building work. Listings show badges for the checks a provider has passed. For other work that needs a licence, ask the provider for theirs.
What if something goes wrong?
If the provider marks the job finished and it isn't, press Not done yet and say what's missing. Once a job is confirmed done, you can raise a dispute from the job's chat during the 24 hours before the payment is released, with photos or other evidence. A real person at Needsey reviews it and decides whether the payment goes to the provider or back to you. This doesn't take away your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act.
