Flexibility: Again, this is your event. I am here to make the planning of it as easy and stress-free as possible. I will assume total
control if that is your wish, or merely be a guide for your vision. While I have years of experience, I take my orders from you.
Follow-up: This is essential for your peace of mind. And not just with you, my client, but with all of the vendors and other
member of the planning committee, i.e.: Mother of the Bride, etc. You can expect me to keep on top of every detail, and even send
thank you notes to your vendors after the big event. If a vendor does not perform as contracted, you can rely on me to follow-up
and negotiate so you get what you deserve. In essence, you are hiring a professional, not someone who likes to throw parties as a
hobby.
Creativity: My creativity and experience working within all budget levels benefits everyone. None of my clients fit a "mold" since
each defines a unique opportunity to showcase their personalities. Alternative and environmentally friendly events are my true loves.
Meeting deadlines: This is key to pulling off an event of any size. Impromptu events provide a fun challenge for me to help you
pull off what you otherwise may have considered impossible.
Humor and fun: I have always maintained that the planning process should be the most fun and with my great sense of humor, I
promise you we will laugh more than cry!
Respect: You will, as my client, always have my utmost respect and loyalty. I will see to it that you are treated with fairness and
honesty at all times.
