Diaries of an Event Planner

New to this blogging scene, we were not sure of how to use this to our advantage. Our blog became something of a nuisance, we didn't know what to say or what to use it to do. A post here and there isn't enough to warrant having it on our site, but everyone has been talking about blogs that s/he have read and how great it is to have one on your site; how having a good blog is the best advertising a young company could have. So we set out to research...what did a great blog look like, what would attract someone to read our blog, what type of audience did we want to attract, what do we write? After reading close to a million blog posting (OK, well maybe a few hundred), we realized a very important thing: blogs are like art; they are subjective and personal.
With that being said, we decided to use this blog as a window in our world as event and wedding planners, as a means of communication with clients, both active and potential, and with colleagues, those who are in the industry and those who are interested in joining the industry.
We have titled this blog "Diaries of an Event Planner"...stayed tuned to read up on some of our upcoming events, what we are planning, how we are feeling about it, what we are doing, what we have done and how it all went!!!

Valentine's Day has passed

Valentine's Day has come and gone...some received flowers, some received candy, some received little tokens of affection, some received all of these and some received the coveted Diamond!!! For those of you who got engaged this Valentine's Day, this blog is for you....

Now that you have said yes, it is time to start thinking about the wedding and this can be a little overwhelming. Do you want a spring affair, a summer, outdoor ceremony, a tented, fall reception or a winter wonderland gala? Should it be a intimate gathering of close family and friends or a big party in celebration of your new marital status? What can you afford? How much do things cost? Where are the best deals? Where do you start?
Before you know it, you are thinking that maybe getting married is not such a good idea anymore!!

We understand that the task of planning a wedding is daunting and stressful. We have all heard the stories of the most mild mannered of people becoming lunatics because there were only two cherry tomotoes on the salad instead of three. But it doesn't have to be this way.

At the risk of sounding like a crisis hotline, which come to think of it might be a great idea..."the wedding crisis hotline", we can help. We offer a consultation package to help get you started on planning what should be a happy day in your life, not one that carries with it burden and stress. Included is our wedding planning time-line and some ideas that will make your wedding day unique.
Give us a call and we will get you started!!!

Oh and while we are at it, you may want us to help plan your Engagement Party, Bridal Shower, Bachelor/Bachelorette too...but we will discuss that when you call.

Take Care
