Planning an Event

There are so many little details that go into planning an event that is is easy to make a mistake. Event planning requires organization and staying cool under pressure.

Be sure to confirm all vendors before the event.

Vendor Confirmation

An all too common mistake is to forget to confirm your vendors. When you are rushed for time, vendor confirmation can quickly fall through the cracks.

Always triple confirm with vendors to make sure that everything is on track for the big event.
