LET THE PLANNING BEGIN! Individuals or businesses often find themselves hosting a special event. Frequently, these hosts plan the event themselves from scratch. While this is a seemingly sound financial decision, this can often lead to an out of control budget, and the time it takes to plan even a simple event can lead to time lost in their already busy personal lives, on other projects, or on concentrating on the big picture.
IMAGINE Instead, imagine being at the helm of all the major event planning decisions, but not bogged down in the logistics and myriad of details. Imagine being exposed to a vast inventory of ideas, references, and experiences to build on for a truly impressive event. Imagine making smart financial decisions about the goals and vision of the event while avoiding wasted time and money. Imagine an event where the host’s event vision and style is heavily apparent but the host is relaxed and focused on the meaning of the event and on their guests.
DO-IT-YOURSELFERS Highly competent individuals often do not consider seeking assistance in designing their event because they feel they can do it themselves to save money. There is so much that goes into a well done event that these individuals can easily become overwhelmed. This often leaves hosts exhausted, stressed, and not focusing on other important aspects of their work or personal life. Also, event planning is becoming more and more specialized, with techniques, insider information, and vendor connections that an individual or employee would have to learn from scratch to get the most benefit for their event.
THE SATISFIED CLIENT According to Laura Sandy whose Chicago-based law firm, Goldberg Kohn, hosted a funky art gallery stroll for their Minneapolis clients in May 2006, “the best thing we did for our corporate event was hiring Flings Event Design. Being located in Chicago and trying to plan a client event in Minneapolis proved to be very challenging right from the start. I was very lucky that someone recommended Laura’s services to me. From the initial planning stages to the end of the event she was such a pleasure to work with, professional, creative, prompt and resourceful. She was able to help us create a truly unique business event incorporating art and creativity into the business networking environment. The event was stylish and fun and most importantly, the clients were extremely impressed with every aspect of the evening, especially the specialty cocktails! Laura also has great relationships with local business and was able to help us choose and secure the perfect venues, caterers and even recommended great restaurants for our out-of-town clients to enjoy. I could not have done this event without Laura!"
