Vibrant Event Planning Tips
We asked our experienced Event Coordinators for their favorite event planning tips:
"Don’t start a fire in the venue with candles. Consider using LED 'candles' instead.
-Kurt Beadell
"When planning your event, be sure to ask by how many servers & bartenders will be staffed."
- Karen Rich
"If you do not have a wedding planner, designate someone from your party to be responsible for your wedding-related details, such as instructing people when to walk down the aisle, getting them together for photos or toasts and other activities. It is also good to have people assigned to pick up wedding gifts, client-provided items and décor."
-Eric Sandstrom
"Have invite responses due at least two weeks before your event. This will give you plenty of time to follow up with phone calls for those who haven’t responded in time and still get your final guest count to the caterer by the due date."
- Auriana Albree
