Create a Special Cocktail for Your Party !

Wanna personalize your next party or your wedding reception?
Think about creating a special cocktail just for your event!
If you’re hiring a bartender service talk to the bartender that will be servicing your party and see if they can design a speciality drink just for your party.
If you’re taking care of the bartendering yourself it’s easy to create a speciality drink yourself. Just decide on the kind of alcohol you want to build your drink around and then just add different juices or mixes until you come up with a drink that tastes and looks good.
Make sure and add some special garnish and choose a special type of cocktail glass to serve it in!

If the Wedding Cake Goes Flying..What do ya do??

For an event planner challenges can arise at the spur of the
moment.
Event and wedding planning in particular, is a job where you really have to roll with the punches. For instance,
as the planner you may have the perfect wedding set
up and the cake has just been placed on the round
table top that is on a smaller square table.
You move on to the next area that needs your
attention and it is just then the bride’s four year-old nephew tries to climb on the table to look at the cake and pushes down with all his weight on the table top. The cake goes flying as the bride looks on
in horror-what do you do?

In this situation the only thing you can do as the planner is stay calm and try to remedy the situation as best you can.
If the cake decorator is still in the vicinity, she can often work wonders with a little extra frosting and some flowers..

Keeping the mood light is one of the most important things you can do as a planner. So the next time a cake goes
flying, be prepared to catch it if you can and if not you just gotta do the best you can.

Need to Add a “Wow” Factor to Your Event Consider Audio Visual Services

Administrator — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 17:29:16 +0000

What would an event be without lighting, sound effects or video presentations?

Audio Visual services like lighting, sound effects and video presentations can add the “WoW’ factor that can assure the success of any event.

Whether you’re planning a sales demonstration, seminar, business conference, convention or musical event
the audio visual and lighting effects can definitely impact how your audience experiences the event.

Audio Visual aids can bring an event to life by helping you communicate your message more effectively to an audience, can help you engage your audience and hold their attention and can help you add the “wow” factor that leads to a successful event.

Depending on the size of your event you may only need to rent a projector or an LCD screen but for a larger event it might be smart to consult an audio visual services company with technicians who are skilled in the use of audio visual equipment. Technology can be a little tricky for some and it can save you money and headaches later on to hire someone who is experienced in the audio visual field.

A reliable experienced corporate event management company can set up and monitor every little detail of your audio visual needs for your event so consider hiring one to create a spectacular event.
Remember its important to get the service company involved early in the planning stage so they can assist you with an effective plan for your audio visual event needs.

Planning an Outdoor Event? Consider this…

Considering an outdoor venue?

If you’re planning an event and you’re thinking about an outdoor venue consider this…good ole mother nature!
The weather is a hard thing to predict and heat, rain, snow or even strong winds can have an serious impact on the comfort of your guests.
I was just talking to a friend who attended an outdoor wedding ceremony this Sunday in southern California. Now you’d think the end of September would provide fairly mild temperatures. But no!… the temperture this year was around 100 degrees. My friend said that everyone was so uncomfortable it was hard for them to enjoy the festivities.
So a word to the wise…No amount of planning can insure that the weather will cooperate with your outdoor event.
When planning an outdoor event consider the need to have a contingency plan in place to insure that your guests don’t melt from the heat or get drenched in the pouring rain etc.
Never ever assume the weather will cooperate with you!!

How about becoming a Florist for Events and Weddings

Administrator — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 01:17:53 +0000

Become a Florist

Do you love to use your creativity? Do you have great color coordination? Florist work might be
right up your alley.
What better way to put your natural talents to work and brighten people’s days at the same time!
If this sounds interesting, here are some things to think about:

First of all, you will need to sharpen your customer service skills. This will really help you in any job. Remember the golden rule of working retail (say it with me now): “The customer is always right,”
or as our good friends at Burger King say, “Your way right away!”

Research top florist schools in your area. Some classes can be taken online and most florist
schools offer certification courses. Some schools offer licensing as well as internship programs
(it’s great to get some hands-on experience under your belt as well as on your resume!).
Interview local florists about the pro’s and con’s of being an independent florist versus owning
a franchise.

If you are considering owning your own store, it will necessary to take some business courses
to better prepare yourself for that aspect of the industry.

You will also need to educate yourself and get to know flowers by name and sight. Get to know what flowers are available in what seasons. Learn how to make different floral pieces including boutonnières, corsages, bridal bouquets, vase arrangements, etc.
Practice different techniques. Volunteer to decorate for your friends’ parties and receptions, then take pictures and put together
a portfolio of your work. You can also donate your skill and arrangements to low income families who have weddings or funerals.
Immerse yourself in the industry and get familiar with every aspect of it.
