SE Open House!

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! As you read this let me open your imagination!

The atmosphere and mood was very contemporary & professionals! Dj Smooth Jazz was set up and ready to go! The sounds of jazz was awesome, candles was lit, the drink station of punch, water and tea was flowing, the food was smelling and looking good and the decor was great. People arrived on time! As our guests walked in they were greeted by a professional SE staff member which the guest were escorted to the elevator which lead them to the 2nd floor. It was so great to see business owners, family members and college classmates that have supported me along the way!

Let's get into the food menu. Your mouth will water when you see the pictures below. If you arrived on time you were greeted with a nice pastry beef wellington with red wine sauce, shrimp cocktail with our special seasoning. We also had fruit, various cheese selections, and dipped pineapples & chocolate. The main course was beef kabobs, yellow rice, sautee garlic stingbeans with squash & zuchini, and the great garlic creme cheese dip! To top it off SE had a staff member personally distribute wine and mamosas!

The flow was great. People were talking ,eating, networking and having a great time. Pictures were taken by the great R. Boykin Photography! Then it was time for SE to make their speech thanking everyone who came out and explaining our journey.

Last but not least people could not leave without getting their giftbags filled with business owners contact information and SE famous strawberries & chocolate! Overall the openhouse was a blessing! I'm enjoying every minute of the blessings and look forward to more blessings and success in the future!

Enjoy the pictures below!

Planning Vs. Coordination

Business owners are you ready for more business and consultations for the 2015-2016 wedding/event season? Clients are you engaged or planning a party or event? Well this article is for you! Many people use the terms: planning, coordination, organization, timelines, etc... Do you know the difference with these words and the type of services you are looking for ? Let Selections Entertainment help you out! Planning: Many people misinterpret wedding and event planning with other terminologies such as coordination. Planning  is more detailed, more work and more structure. Potential clients will contact us and say they need a coordinator but they really need a planner. Planners are usually starting from the beginning or taking over where you left off. Planners are the creators when it comes to budgets, themes, decor, colors, style, structure,  and organization. They are the front line of your special day, event, meeting or party and also there to the end. Coordination: Coordinat...

Covid Times!

Where do I start with the wedding and event industry pertaining to covid! It's like a slow spiral going down! If  you are a business owner or in this industry, you can relate!Back in January I started hearing all this talk about covid in other countries and many people getting sick. I didn't think anything of it because they were in foreign countries and i thought"The U.S. should be fine.  That virus is not coming over here!" Then in February the first case came to NY. I still thought the virus would be under control. Then mid to late February many people started passing away and several celebrities also made the news on contracting the virus! Next thing I know we are in phase one of a mandatory shut down! You know what that meant for the event and wedding industry! CANCELLATIONS & POSTPONEMENTS! During this time i had few rental orders because it was the end of the winter going into spring but this is the time that things pick up because people are ordering renta...

Don't Give Up!

With many businesses closing small and big, the fight to keep a business open is very challenging in 2018! The big businesses are shutting down such as Sam's Club and Toys R US, so imagine what the small business owners are going through! I write this blog today to the small business owners to say don't give up! I know as you are reading this you are saying "easier said than done" but i'm a living witness that you have to keep going! Selections Entertainment is in year 9 and there are many days I want to give up but I say to myself "look how far you have came, what you have accomplished and how you have helped others. Take your business day by day, challenge yourself, ask yourself what you can do different, and how can you meet  and network with different people to build working relationships and build clientele. Also work on supporting other businesses!. The struggle is real but pray, have faith, and believe, you will get through the rough patches. I don...
