Catering & Wedding Planner

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Couture and Fairytale Weddings & Events.

Also I plan large conferences and cater events as well. My Company is a full service company featuring, planning, presentation, catering, wedding & Event invitations, publicity, advertising, and decor.

From weddings to balls we do it all!

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Always look for someone who is within your service area, look for great reviews online, and make sure they will support YOUR vision for YOUR event. Customer Service is ALAYS the key element. if they won't take time to build a relationship with you, they are not worth hiring. I treat all my clients like I would myself. I like nothing less that first class best. So, that is what I give my clients.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. I would wish to know how the vendors come about knowing which companies to use and which ones NOT to use. I would wish to know how to do the research behind the scenes to keep up with the latest industry news and trends.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. Always ask if they are a business of quality and integrity.
Ask how they treat there brides and clients. Always ask about current specials that they may be running and ask about discounts for referrals. Some catering companies do give discounts for referring them to other clients. Ask if they participate in professional associations and ask to see credentials.

Also ask about concierge services for your bridal party, and also ask about preferred vendor networks and connections.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. The reality that beautiful events are not cheap. Please research the industry on Couture Weddings & Events before you seek me or any other couture event planner and caterer out.

Know what you are getting into so that you won't be insulted or embarrased when financials are discussed.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Not only do I treat the client as if I were working with myself, but I also have a complete and personal service that most companies will not give.

I am not just after a living, I am after GIVING to my customers as if it were my own event. I am HUGE on quality and customer service.

Not every event or wedding is going to go off without a hitch.. the key to being an effective planner and event manage and caterer is to know EXACTLY HOW to handle and roll with the punches without creating waves.

It's all about the customer and their event.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. i LOVE making all things BEAUTIFUL! and I also LOVE making things look glamorous and professional. I love making events look AND tast GOOD!

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. It really was just a God decision. I feel that He led me into this business and gave me these gifts to help others and make them happy.

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. If you have no patience and no creativity or love for people.. this is NOT the business for you. In this business, truly it is ALL about the bride and her family.

I have learned to work WITH the flow instead of go against the flow. This is definitely a people first business and if you make it all about you then you will lose.

The key is in making the dreams of OTHERS come true.
that's where I find my happiness, in creating events that make others happy.
