I have worked with all of these
vendors, at one time or another. I am not associated with them
and they do not pay me for these recommendations. I do not
know about their fees or their complete range of services. I
am recommending them because they provided a professional service at
the event where I met them. Please let me know about your
personal experiences with them, at your own event.
First and
foremost, please consider taking advantage of
the experience and perfect resources of a
professional event coordinator.
Your event will
take time to plan properly and to coordinate all
of the various artists or vendors. An
event coordinator can actually help you to save
time and money by recommending only the best
vendors for your event.
Your
professional event coordinator can also be your
personal assistant during your event. They
will make sure that you and your event stay on
schedule. That will allow you to have fun
and to mingle with your family and friends.
There will be no need to micro-manage your own
event.
