The Ponds, New South Wales

You will have 1 and half hour (form 8:30am - 10am) before party to decorate the place. Its at a community hall in the ponds. Need decoration similar to pictures and also need table setup for 50 guests. You will also need to packup everything before 2:30pm.
Ana did a lovely job with the overall décor — everything looked beautiful and thoughtfully arranged. There were a few hiccups and the setup didn’t finish exactly on time, but considering she’s new and offered a very reasonable price, she did a commendable job overall.
