Hi people, so I did a blog post recently on the importance of networking and I thought I should go a bit further about 3 things to do after meeting a new vendor.

If you end up going to a ton of events and networking but you don’t do anything with it, it is a wasted experience, and you end up not seeing any benefits. I share some of this in the course “Advertising Your Wedding Beyond Social Media.”

So here are 3 things you can do after meeting a new vendor

1. Follow: Follow the vendor on social media, it costs you nothing to do that, and as the saying goes one good turn deserves another.

2. Appreciate: If you do a tour with a venue, it is okay to send them a thank you email. Address it directly to the person you met and just simply thank them for taking the time to show you the property and let them know you will look forward to working with them in the future. To stand out from the crowd, you can take it a step further and send a...

Hi there planners, I figured I will start the week the same way I ended it last week because the message of Rest is essential. But for this weekend, I want to remind you to rest but also enjoy yourself, it is time to Relax And Enjoy. 

Finding time to rest is vital but also finding time to do things you enjoy is equally as important. Growing up I was always told, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." I am not sure who jack is ‍but you get where I am going with this. Finding time to do something you love helps to infuse joy in your life and it also boosts your creativity. 

Spending quality time with my husband and kids is one of those things that I do to RAE, I also love just laying down watching a romantic movie or two. Sometimes I love to seat and journal and other times I love to take a long walk in my neighborhood.

Whatever you do, make sure this weekend you prioritize time to rest, Relax And Enjoy.

Happy Monday Planners, let's make the end of the year count. 

When I started out as an event planner I took some courses. One of the things my instructor said was after a major event you need to "Rest." At that time I did not fully grasp all of what she was saying but as I have continued on in my career I have come to appreciate her advice.

Rest is a vital part of being successful as a planner. It is important to take a day after planning a major event to rest and recuperate. You owe it to yourself and your clients to be fully prepared for the next event ahead. When you rest, not only will you be rejuvenated but you will also think more clearly. Depending on where you are in your business you might not have the privilege of resting after every single event especially in the height of the wedding season with back to back events. 

To some rest might look like sleeping most of the next day, to others rest might be spending time with family and loved ones, to others rest might be catching up on T.V. shows, to others, it might be...
