## Verified Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

### Q1: What is the typical investment or minimum budget to work with House of Maharajh?
**A:** Bespoke full-scale celebrations and weddings typically commence from R250,000+ in production value, scaling with spatial build, entertainment, and guest count. We work with open-book pricing: you pay suppliers and venues directly at cost with zero hidden vendor markups, while our atelier manages end-to-end design, contract negotiation, and production management under a transparent flat or milestone fee.

### Q2: How far in advance should we secure our date?
**A:** For prime Gauteng wedding and gala dates (particularly October through April), we recommend engaging our atelier 6 to 12 months in advance. Because we strictly limit our calendar to one signature production per weekend to ensure total creative focus, dates are held on a first-deposit basis. Intimate private dinners or corporate summits can occasionally be accommodated on 8 to 12 weeks’ notice.

### Q3: Can we bring our own specialized cultural caterer or family culinary team?
**A:** Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with premier authentic Indian, Halal, Kosher, and African culinary specialists, as well as private family chefs. While your chosen culinary team executes the menu, House of Maharajh manages the back-of-house kitchen infrastructure, food styling, table settings, service flow, and beverage pairing so your dining experience feels seamless.

### Q4: Who is actually on site managing our event on the day?
**A:** Our principal event director and dedicated logistics coordinators are physically on site from the first morning load-in through midnight strike. We never hand off your event to junior runners. You have one direct point of contact carrying the master run sheet, overseeing timing, sound checks, vendor arrivals, and guest comfort.

### Q5: How do you handle Highveld summer storms, outdoor marquees, and power cuts?
**A:** Every outdoor or marquee design in Gauteng includes a non-negotiable Plan B engineered into the initial blueprint—including elevated solid sub-flooring, rain-rated glass marquees, and rapid-transition covered spaces. For utility continuity, we specify silent backup generators and seamless automatic switchovers on all private estate and venue sites to guarantee uninterrupted lighting, catering power, and audio.
