WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT WORKING IN THE LOVE INDUSTRY? People! We enjoy getting to work with many wonderful, passionate people. Whether we're helping a client plan their own event or brainstorming with our team, we're always grateful for each experience we get to share with someone. We love getting to be a part of making someone's big day stress-free and special!

We know how stressful planning and hosting an event can be. Whether you are hoping to impress your boss or your future in-laws, there are steps you can take to feel calm and in control. 

+ Start planning early and do everything in advance that can be done in advance. Start working on your catering plan as soon as the date and venue have been set.

+ Set the tone from the moment that guests walk in the door by making sure everyone is greeted memorably and warmly. A glass of champagne or specialty cocktail is the perfect start (remember to have an NA version available too).

+ Don't forget to plan what happens when the party ends. Breakdown, making payments, and unloading is usually the last thing that you want to do at the end of a long event. Plot out the strategy. Confirm with the caterer about what you can expect from their team. Say yes to offers of help!

Just remember, above all, enjoy yourself! Make sure you take time before, during, and after to enjoy the experience. You've earned it.
