WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2014 FOR YOUR PLANNING NEEDS!

2014 is fast approaching and you think you have alot of time for your special occasion? Think again! There were many proposals in 2013 and we are not finished yet! We still have to go through thanksgiving, christmas and new years! 2014 will be the year for weddings! Here are some tips if you are planning for your special day! 1. Don't wait until the engagement to save! If you and your partner are in a very serious committed relationship and engagement is around the corner in the near future, save before the engagement! This will relieve alot of stress dealing with your planning when it comes to deposits for your vendors. Sometimes it can be stressing starting from scratch to save while you are engaged. 2. Enjoy your engagement but have that open communication with your partner on locking and setting a date for your wedding. Dates get filled up fast for venues, caterers, bakers etc... 3. Before you hire a planner. Do your research on the entire wedding industry! Start with che

WORDS MEAN ALOT!

It's wedding season and Selections Entertainment is always trying our best to stay busy and to give clients what they need and want. No matter how busy you get you have to remember your customer service and catering to your clients needs. They don't want to hear that you are busy and you have to deal with this customer etc....They are paying their hard earn money for quality service and it's their special day! Through all our hard work we take pride in what we do and we would like to share with you some of our recent testimonial statements we have received from clients. From the bottom of our heart we truly want to thank all of our clients! Because of you we are still in business! Michelle was amazing! We had such a hard time finding a caterer we liked and could give us what we wanted at a reasonable price. She went above and beyond when it came to the details of the wedding. She brought her own little decorations to add a nice little touch to the food and bar tables.

April 6, 2013, the day was finally here! The most exciting moment for Selections Entertainment! Who would have thought four years ago one of their dreams would come true! Selections Entertainment worked hard that day and the days before that, prepping and putting the final touches on their open house. As we got closer we were so excited. Everything was set!

Spring Has Almost Sprung!

Are the heavy layers of clothing slowly coming off? Are you ready to pack the sweaters, hats, gloves, scarfs and other winter items? We are almost there! Spring has alsmost sprung!           Not only do we do spring cleaning but wedding season is popular with the months of May to October. Wedding season cleaning is now and in the winter months! Planning is essential! If you are having a wedding, party or event in the spring and summer months you should be almost finished with your planning. If you are a last minute person you still have a small portion of time left lol! Some of the last minute items people forget is party favors, finish touches of decor, remembering balances with vendors and to be honest sometimes caterers are contacted at the last minute because people are undecided on their food menu! Again get ready because spring is almost on the way! Contact a planner that can still help you with your needs and there are also many caterers, florist, and decor specialist who c

Celebrate Love in February & Beyond!

We all know February is the month to celebrate love with vday! But what happens after vday? Does the love and romance die? NO! Love and romance should be celebrated with creative ways throughout the year! Hear are some tips for the lovebirds and also loving yourself: Always treat yourself to quiet time! Love yourself and treat yourself to a good book, nap time, working out, a good magazine and a nice walk in the park. We are all busy with work, school, kids and businesses but we also have to love and take care of ourself. That quiet time will also relieve stress and keep the pressure down. Fellas give flowers on random days and not just on vday! We know the roses are popular but switch it up sometimes with carnations, daisies, tulips, and many more. Also give chocolates and candy on random days besides vday! Try different restaurants! Switch it up sometimes and go for lunch instead of dinner all the time. Try restaurants you have never been to before. It makes it fun and exciting

Linens, How do I choose?

Vday is coming up, people will celebrate many birthdays, graduations and of coarse wedding season is here! With all the headache of finding venues, bakers, caterers and photographers, another added stress is matching linens for your special occasion. Where do i start? What material, size and color should i get? What size are the tables? What kind of decor should i have on the tables?   To make this a smoother ride here are some tips from Selections Entertainment: Finalize your colors. If you keep on switching colors it will be harder to find, match, and finalize. Finalize your venue and how many guest you are expecting, this will determine how many tables and chairs you need. Decide on what type of linen you want for your special occasion! What type of venue are you using? What type of special occasion are you celebrating? Is it a upscale wedding, birthday party, etc..? This will determine the material linen for your occasion. Plan your budget! Start researching rental comp
