My Essay
Events To Remember is an up and raising Events Planning business established 3 years ago. We provide services for Weddings, Birthdays, Baby Showers, Dinners and Office Parties. In the next 5 years we would like to open our own establishment with a full line service to grow our business. 10 years from now we at Events To Remember hope to be a know name in the industry. We also assist local communities with block parties, churches, daycare centers and fundraise to get the word out about our business. Even after so many years of experience in Events planning the industry continues to change. I also make Personalize Poster Boards for occasions, Plan holiday parties. Branding is very important to us and we want to be known for doing things the right way and deliver exceptionally service to all clients.
Thank You

Initial Client Contact
The initial client contact can be initiated by phone, email, or Facebook message discussing what services the client need. Based on this information, I would contact them back personally to schedule a time to meet in person. These meetings will be held at the local office at the Double Tree Hotel (if applicable). I would like to meet with the Bride & Groom or with the person with the event. Thereafter we will determine which services is needed and then the initial contract. For clients who are not able to meet face to face there is the option of using Face time or Skype. I will have the bridal questionnaire on hand for the client to complete and from there we will touch on subjects such as: budget, venue, payments, number of guest, expectations, themes, likes and dislikes.
I will also provide the Bride with a folder which will include the following:
• Business card
• Service Packages incl. additional Services
• Marriage License ( Including Requirement for out of state)
• Seasonal Wedding Ideas
• Preferred Vendors
• List Engagement
• Bridal Shower Party Themes
• Bridal Party Checklist
• Additional Services
