Question 1

Which occasions does Velvet Detour plan?

Accepted Answer

Velvet Detour plans dates, birthdays, proposals, and anniversaries. The request form also accepts “Other celebration” for the owner to review.

Question 2

What does surprise planning include?

Accepted Answer

Velvet Detour personalizes the occasion by coordinating details such as activities and decorations around the person and occasion.

Question 3

What information should I include in a request?

Accepted Answer

Booking requests are open. Use the request form to provide the occasion, preferred date, desired city or area, preferences, your name, email, and budget. Phone is optional, and no account is needed. Your preferred date is only a preference, the budget is planning context, and no payment is collected with the inquiry.

Question 4

Does submitting a request or preferred date confirm a booking?

Accepted Answer

No. Sending the form is an inquiry only; your preferred date remains a preference, and no payment is collected. The owner reviews your request and location for availability, then sends a personalized quote. A request or quote alone does not book or reserve the date. Your booking is confirmed only after payment through the secure quote checkout is verified. A canceled checkout or unconfirmed payment is not a booking. If payment is unconfirmed, do not pay again; check with the owner.

Question 5

How do I find out if my requested location is available?

Accepted Answer

Service is available in the U.S., and availability depends on your requested location. Include a city or area in the form so the owner can review it and confirm availability in their response.

Question 6

What happens after I send my request?

Accepted Answer

The owner reviews the details and requested location, then follows up using your contact information. If the location is available, the owner sends a personalized quote. Your preferred date is not reserved by the request or quote, and no payment is collected when you send the form. Payment through secure quote checkout confirms the booking only after it is verified.
