Spring & Summer Months Are Fast Approaching!

Spring is here and summer months are fast approaching! If you are planning for 2016 or 2017 you still have time! Here are some great tips to start planning:

1. You must hire a planner! Whether your special day is in 6 months or a year hire a planner. Your professional planner will make your day so much easier with budgeting, booking the right vendors and time line deadlines!

2. Set a realistic budget! Especially if you are planning at the last minute. Realize the time you have to pay for everything will be shorter and deposits will be bigger.

3. Have alternate dates! If you are planning for the summer and spring months, please be aware that dates go faster for venues and other vendors. If you are not prepared for deposits right away, have an alternate date for your special day!

4. Book your biggest vendors first! Sometimes people go backwards and they will book  a dj, florsit or baker first. They are important vendors but to start your planning off right book your planner, venue, and caterer first! This will help with smooth sailing when it's time to book your other vendors.

I hope this helps you for your spring and summer months and beyond. Happy Planning! Contact us today for your planning needs!

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 ?

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.

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...
