Selections Rentals

We all know last minute plans can be alot of work! In the planning industry i still receive tons of emails where clients are looking for caterers, coordinators, rental items and venues at the last minute! The biggest problem people run into is not knowing pricing. When i let them know prices they look at me like i'm telling them  to go to the moon and back! lol. It is crucial to have a realistic budget! Also being engaged for a year or more will give you time to map out your budget and choose your vendors! If your finances does not fit your dream wedding, take your time to save and plan. What is the rush? Happy Wedding Season! Don't rush the process, enjoy it!

We all know that you need a planner for a wedding, but what about a party or event? Parties and events are just as important as weddings. People plan special parties such as their 40th, retirement, 1st event, business launch etc.., those are special memories you want to have for a life time. There is work to do and great planning goes into it! It's more than throwing a platter on a table and getting a couple of balloons! You have to have a budget, time management, select a venue, catering, decor, invitations, the list goes on and on! You will need a planner to keep you on the right track! So if you have that upcoming special occasion or in the future, please put a planner in your budget!

What do we all look forward to when we go to a special occasion? Food! Planning your catering menu for your special occasion can be overwhelming!  As a caterer, i conduct many consultations and food tastings and many people feel they have to have a thanksgiving spread for their guests! Sometimes clients add food to their menu after they have selected their catering package! Here are tips for great catering options for your special occasion: Event/Party/Meeting: Finger Food! Easy finger food to pass around or for guests to pickup. Examples are: fruit, veggie platter, cheese, crackers, crab cakes,  and chicken wingettes. Most events, parties or meetings there is alot of talking, dancing, announcements or activities going on. You want to satisfy your guest to hold them over but don't want to provide a heavy meal where people get lazy. Banquet/Wedding: Not skimpy and not heavy! Selections Entertainment recommends one or two meats, a salad, side item and/or heavy appetizers. Example
