Our Vendors

We’re hands-on assistants, but we know when to call upon outside resources. We work with a variety of talented and reliable vendors, suppliers, trades people, and freelance creative talent. We assemble teams to handle more complex projects and use vendors we trust to provide janitorial, home maintenance, and other essential services. We’ve identified boutique tour companies in the Miami area that will take your guests on private historic, culinary, and eco-adventures.

Our Resources Include:

Graphic designers, copywriters, web designers and commercial printing
Janitorial services, electricians, plumbers and landscapers
Miami tour guides, restaurants, venues, events and transportation
Caterers, florists, bakeries, entertainers, favors, calligraphy and decor

We’re Micro-Managers

We are responsible for the performance of our outside vendors. So we keep a close eye on them. If we provide cleaning services, we’re there to inspect the toilets and the baseboards. If we ask a designer to develop a logo for you, we make sure the price is fair and the work is done on time. If we supervise household repairs, we provide you with estimates first and crack the whip to make sure timetables are kept. Sometimes our vendors hate us. We don’t care, as long as our clients are happy.

Confidentiality and Privacy

Our vendors are required to respect the confidentiality of all clients. We do not outsource sensitive matters such as bookkeeping, personal budgeting, and bill paying. We also make sure no one enters your home or business without our personal supervision.
