The Other Planner!

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!

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.

Don't Give Up!

With many businesses closing small and big, the fight to keep a business open is very challenging in 2018!

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!

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...
