Economic Downturn and Events

2009-03-05T16:09:00.000-08:00

While everyone is worried about the economy now there are lots of things to remember when planing your event. The first is that an Event Planner can actually help you design and plan your event in a much more financially possible way. Additionally an Event Planner can help make things easier for you without a lot of added cost and you still get to enjoy your day while sticking to your budget. :)

Corporate Functions

Do you have vendors or clients you wish to thank, a long time employee who is retiring, maybe just a desire to thank those employees who have been working really hard to make things successful?

Have you thought about planning an appreciation dinner, maybe with some games or a raffle? Need to do a team building activity with your employees and aren't sure where to start?

Why you may ask why should you hire an event planner when you have someone in your office plan this yourself? Well the answer to that is time and money. I will help you stretch your dollar so you can sit back and enjoy the event. By having a planner your office staff can focus on their every day tasks and not worry about all the little details needed to put on your event.

Cost of entertaining

2008-01-30T12:45:00.000-08:00

The cost of entertaining today, beats the cost from five year ago. There are millions of vendors to interview for your event ranging from musicians, photographers, caters, venues and the list goes on.

This even includes event planners. I know there are many out there to choose from so why should you go with me. Well, I promise to make it the event you want it to be and not push my ideas on you. Your event will be the way you see it in your dreams. However, if you don't have any ideas what you want and just want it planned I can do that as well.

So what really matters - Cost. I have experience making wonderful events on limited budgets. I can help you create a very lavish affair for your event without the high cost. Many planners will charge a percentage of your budget for your event as their fee and others will charge an hourly rate. My rates depend on the amount of work needed and the size of the event.

I will work with your budget to get things done for your event on minimal cost. I don't believe in over charging but believe in making your event memorable regardless of what kind it is.
