AE | Tips, Advice, Recommends, & Trends (T.A.R.T.) #6

I had a conversation with a potential client and a delightful conversation it was...

Our conversation made me think...when planning an event with or without an event planner is an event planning checklist needed. Yes it is! Each event requires an event planning checklist.

However big or small your event is going to be, planning it will follow the same general pattern – and include some common pitfalls!

1. Make sure your objectives are clear
2. Make sure you have plenty of time
3. Plan out the work – and delegate!
4. Practical considerations
5. Bookings, permissions and licenses
6. Make a budget for the event
7. Publicity
8. Plan in detail
9. On the day
10. Afterwards

This week, take an assessment of the event planning checklist. Make note of the information you know and compare your info with the info I’m sharing with you.

Next week, we will take a closer look at the checklist and drill down into various tasks assigned.

Until then...have an awesome remainder of your week.

Hello FB Family....it’s K. LaShaáe how are you this beautiful claiming and clear day? I’m enjoying this beautiful weather and I hope you are too.

I want to pick up where I left off last week. We are discussing the “What 2Dus” as it relates to selecting a venue.

Let’s begin with... Services and Amenities. The venue you selected...
Does the venue have a kitchen and can it provide catering to your event?
- Often a venue will waive the facility fee and only charge a down payment along with the cost of food for each attendee.
- Venues without kitchen facilities may have a partnership with a food provider that you’re required to use.
- Taste their food in advance. If it is not good enough, it will create a negative impact on your attendees’ experiences.
- Either go with a venue that serves great food or allows you to bring in outside food vendors.

Next, Does the venue selected have tables, chairs and linens you can use?
- If a venue has these items, you can save a great deal of money and effort by using what they have, assuming it matches your theme and ambiance.

Does it have a setup/clean up crew?
- If you’ve found a venue which provides a setup and clean up crew, rejoice!
- This isn’t always the case.
- If these services aren’t available you’ll need to build your event team or find volunteers.

Does the venue have AV capabilities?
- Not all venues have a built in audio-visual equipment for you to use, and others will require you to bring that in yourself.

Next on your checklist is... the Layout.
Even though you’ll be finding your venue early in the event planning process, you’ll still want to...
1. have a rough idea of what types of activities you’ll be including,
2. the amenities you’ll require, and
3. the needs of your team and the attendees.

You must...
- narrow While down your selection,
- get an illustrated floor plan of each venue, and
- walk through your favorites at least once.

Make sure to note the important things such as...
- where the outlets are and
- where AV equipment is or can be located.

The layout and floor plan will greatly affect a few different aspects of your event:
- Flow of traffic Think about the flow of traffic through your event
- The kind of flow you’ll want will be different for each event.
- What areas will be high traffic at the event?
- Registration?
- The auditorium doors?

Keep this in mind when choosing your venue, realizing that how you setup the tables and decor will greatly affect this as well.

Event activities If you want to have keynote speakers at your event, you’ll either need a stage, or a spot to place a rented stage. Will you need a demo area? Will there be a bar?

When selecting your venue it is more to it than the pretty tables and chairs.

Service, amenities and the layout has the potential to turn an affair to remember into a nightmare to forget.

Be clear and stand firm on your venue needs. This will ensure your guests has the most enjoyable experience.

Stay tuned... next week will discuss ambiance and acoustics and insurance. The little things make a hugh difference.

Over the course of the next few T.A.R.T.s I will share with you a few “W2Dus” as it relates to choosing an Event Venue.
...for the colleague that “didn’t need my help”, but needed my assistance with securing vendors and confirming the venue contract was paid.

When organizing an event, you are confronted by many decisions.

Choosing a venue is the one decision that will have the largest impact on your event.

The date of the event, catering and entertainment options, and attendees’ pleasant experiences … all are partly affected by which venue you select.

You are now feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to feel that way.

Here are some guidelines about when to make decision, what to consider, and how to do better.

Just in case you are tasked with handling a future event.

Unsure of “When to Start Looking for a Venue”? The earlier the better.

Once you have a good understanding of the following 3 things, you can begin your search for a venue: budget, estimated event size, and space requirements.

This week we will drill down and discuss...When to Secure a Venue.

Book a venue at least 4-6 months in advance to ensure you will have enough time to plan other critical things, such as catering, photographers and entertainment.

For the planning, consider using any time-saving tools. Such as Event Management and Planning Software that will Save You Time.

You can use excel but it may take more time than you actually have to dedicate to the task at hand.

What to Consider When Searching for a Venue: (i) Location, and (ii) Parking.

Does the venue have a parking lot or valet parking?
- Keep in mind.... a venue with a parking lot is what dreams are made of. If that’s not the case, are there parking lots nearby which attendees can access and use?
- If there is no parking available, you’re not completely out of luck as you have a few alternatives:
• You can reserve nearby parking

3. Capacity and Minimums
• What’s the capacity? You’ll need to know the room capacity of the venues for a few reasons.

First, 500 people (if it is your estimated event size) can’t comfortably fit into a room with a 250-person capacity; and...

Second, there are fire and safety codes that the venue has to abide by.
- What are the food and beverage (F&B) Minimums?
- If your venue offers food and/or beverages and sets a minimum food and beverage spending amount (known as an F&B minimum), ensure that the past F&B records from the previous events are in line with the minimum.
- If you estimate much more F&B spending than what the venue requires, it means you would be a good customer to them.

Negotiate whether they can provide complimentary service (e.g. upgrade Wi-Fi or A/V support) in return if your spending reaches a certain level.
- How to make adjustment based on attendee feedback?
- It is important to be able to make an informed adjustment for a size of a room or F&B right before or during your event.
- You can easily headcount or collect instant feedback through live polling on an event app, which save you time and money.

Stay tuned, there is more to come...

Brrrr another cold day, please stay dry and warm. The weather is getting pretty bad; please be safe as you travel.

Today’s T.A.R.T. will continue my shower theme series. As I schedule upcoming bridal shows for my clients’ I take this opportunity to evolve my bridal shower theme options. Each bridal show provide a fresh perspective about the current wedding themes and I love obtaining this wonderful information.

In addition to the CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH, and DÎNER EN BLANC. The CO-ED SHOWER and FANCY PAJAMA PARTY are two shower themes that my clients are fond of.

Co-Ed Shower| In the past few years, joint showers have become so popular that about half of the showers I plan and my clients’ attend are for both members of the couple.

This can be particularly useful if there is a mother-in-law (or other female family member) involved who you might not want to be trapped planning a party with one on one. (Keeping in mind, when family dynamics get intense, sometimes adding more people can take the pressure off.)

Hence having an event with a group of friends, co-ed showers can just be a great way to get all your friends and family together pre-wedding in a much more chilled environment.

Fancy Pajama Party | I recently presented this idea to my client and she loved it. It’s quite simple... have a group of ladies come together you have known (each other) since High School or even younger. Plan a fun-filled evening event where the vibe is nostalgic.

Select theme games and food around what you used to do at a slumber party. Spend time catching up and reminiscing about the good times you shared as childhood friends.

This is an awesome way to remember the past and embrace the future to come with friends and family that you hold close to your heart.

Brrrr... it’s cold outside! I’m planning a shower for a client and I find myself toggling between the themes I will present to my client for consideration.

It’s that time of year... bridal shower season. It’s important to select just-the-right idea to make the party come off without a hitch.

However, the thing about parties, bridal shower or otherwise, is that parties are… FUN!!!

Food + drinks + The Best People + music = Fantastically Awesome!

That’s why everything else... including themes, special touches and over-the-top decor... is filed away under “nice, but not necessary.”

Today, I will share a couple of themes that are among my favorites. As the season blossoms I will share more of my favorites accordingly.

Among my top favorites is the...
- CHAMPAGNE BRUCH
This is a straightforward fun-filled classic. Good friends sharing lunch and celebrating a marriage soon to be over a wonderful bottle of champagne!

Yasssss!!!! This theme is fun, and it is simple! Host it at a restaurant, rent a room in the afternoon. If that is not within your reach, no worries simply make sliders, or tea sandwiches (or order a pizza), pop some bubbly, and host this fun-filled family and friends celebration in someone’s house or backyard.

Next among my favorites is:
- DÎNER EN BLANC
Ladies this is a massive outdoor party (hosted all over the world), where thousands of people eat a fancy dinner under the stars dressed all in white.

For clarification, this can be a “Facebook Live” event. With a little detailed planning this is an awesome celebration.

Select your date and time... invite friends and family near and far (select a co-host for each location). Plan your menu, coordinate your decor. Make appropriate arrangements for delivery of bridal gifts to the bride.

Keep in mind this is an “Blanc” event and yes, it looks as cool as you imagine.

So while you probably can’t reserve a table for three thousand on the river walk, you can throw a party in white for your guest of honor.
- Pro-tip: Don’t serve dark messy foods for a room dressed in pure blanc. BBQ may not be the best opinion.

I recently spoke with my client who shared all of her Bridesmaids want to Back Out of her Wedding, but is Unsure How to Tell Her.

Unfortunately, weddings never go 110% as planned. One of the more challenging change-ups to pending nuptials, though, is when a bridesmaid back out of her attendant duties.

The truth of the matter is there’s a number of reasons why this might happen, from a more scandalous fight between she and the bride to a tragic family emergency, but no matter what the case, it can cause a definite bump in the road.

Today I will share with you how to tactfully handle this situation and move forward with your wedding one, two, or bridesmaids short; possibly no bridesmaids at all.

Dealing with a bridesmaid or your bridesmaids relinquishing her | their bridal party duties fully depends on the situation at hand.

For example, someone may not have realized the financial commitment being a part of your wedding party entails. In this case, “Wedding etiquette” state you (the bride) should try to work with her to ease the financial strain... such as offer to pay for her dress, make-up, hair or hotel stay (if you can afford to, of course!).

If you cannot then simply let her and yourself off the hook. Hold an open and honest conversation with her over coffee and explain to her that her | their post(s) will be filled with another or other close friends. If handled with kindness and professionalism she will thank you for understanding her current situation and you will remain friends.

Now if someone backs out last minute because of a family emergency — a death or major illness — it's best to honor them by not asking someone to replace their post.

However ladies, if someone very early on determine they have a conflict regardless of the reason, then it goes without saying, ask another close friend who would be happy to fill-in.

Remember: Timing is everything. Life isn't perfect, financial conflicts, and emergencies (last-minute to early on) will arise.

In those cases it'd be rude to ask someone else to be a bridesmaid at the eleventh hour. If someone finds out about a conflict earlier on, then there's more leeway with choosing someone else (after all they may not even realize they weren't chosen in the first place).

Keep in mind...your Ceremony is not about the centerpieces, or the flowers, the bridal party, or even the dress. Your guest will remember the emotion (okay, and the decor).

Your guest will remember that you (the bride who just) couldn’t stop grinning as you said your vows.

Your guest will also remember two people, who seem so perfect for each other, making huge promises... that’s what the wedding ceremony is about.

What a beautiful day - It’s K. LaShaae... today I am sharing a couple of new trends that are all the rave....

Unplugged Ceremonies, according to many of my colleagues and photographers “Unplugged Ceremonies” will continue to increase in popularity.

For clarity...An unplugged ceremony is a wedding ceremony in which only the professional photographer is allowed to take photos. Guests are asked to switch their phones off and refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony.

As a guest, expect more signs to pop up, encouraging you (the guest) to put away your cell phones and enjoy the moment.

This, of course, will not be the case with the reception, where you (the guest) will be eagerly sharing the experience in real time on your phones.

On a separate note, an additional new trend is “Mix & Match Place Settings.” Experts at Canvas Homes recently shared information that stated similar if not the same information regarding “Mixing and Matching” decor settings.

I have always thought that mixing and matching decor is a wonderful way to express your uniqueness.

As I assist my clients with registries, workshops, receptions and etc. I am receiving more request to mix and match settings. This season the “Mix and Match” trend is truly gaining popularity.

It’s a Fabulous Friday - It’s K. LaShaae... today I am sharing a few novelties that are currently trendy and I simply found them to be interesting.

Have you heard of “Drone Photography”? Well, I had not. As I review and revamp my vendor list I spoke with a potential new vendor who shared with me...the use of “Drones” is one of the biggest videography trends in 2019.

Ladies and gentlemen be on the lookout; photographers and videographers are using drones to capture different perspectives of the wedding day.

Keith Phillips of Classic Photographers stated in a recent interview “the ability to get that steady motion in your videos is now easier thanks to these devices."

I’m excited and can not wait until I am asked to incorporate this awesome element into a wedding.

Gentlemen...new this season is “Mix & Match Groomsmen Attire”.

Ladies, step aside --it’s the groomsmen’s turn to mix and match.

It is predicted menswear will take center stage down the aisle, with a heavier focus on tailored fits and pops of color. Oh my goodness, who does not live Checkered patterns, floral prints, and refined polka dots. The men will look soooo nice!

These are just a few styles popping up more and more. I’m sharing this information with each of my grooms and their attendants.

Who doesn’t love a well dressed man!

Good morning - it’s K. LaShaae and today I am sharing a new design technique I recently learned. Video Mapping, I know you are thinking what is “Video Mapping”?

It’s one of the newest trends on the market. Video mapping will be making its mark in 2019. According planner’s such as Kevin Dennis, owner of Fantasy Sound Event Services. This awesome technique is becoming more accessible to couples. According to my research, with video mapping through the use of projectors, you can literally transform the room in any way you choose, yes, any thing you can imagine is possible.

You will have the chance to select from endless colors, shading and design elements. When it comes to bringing your vision to fruition, that is simply amazing.

( I do not own the copyrights to this video mapping pic.)

Before I go, Brides, make note...in 2019 Dahlias is all the rage. I recently learned, Dahlias’ are the quintessential focal flower for any and all arrangement because of their wide color variety and intricate layers.

In addition, Ranunculus will be the big pick for any bride desiring a romantic flower with a bit of whimsy.

Joan Wyndrum of Blooms by the Box has shared this information with us, and I’m happy to share the same with you.

Tips, Recommends, & Trends (T.R.T.)

Some of my clients have asked that I share tips, recommendations and trends to assist with planning events and|or weddings.

I’m happy to share my knowledge... In doing so, I pray I inspire and guide you to create an event to remember!

According to my research, for brides getting married in 2019, the wedding planning fun is just beginning. My colleagues, vendors and I are already seeing a crop of new trends popping up as they start to look towards the coming year.

From food and flowers to attire and decor, over the course of the next few weeks I will share TRTs that are sure to assist you with planning one of the most memorable events in 2019.

Whats color’s are trending?
- Shades of Purple
As I research color schemes and prepare a color palette for an upcoming wedding. I reference vendors suggestions in the industry. Carrie Mabery, Conference and Catering Manager, for Loews Minneapolis Hotel advises, “I am seeing a lot of purples from violet to periwinkle.

This trend is prevalent in lighting options throughout the space with designs and in floral.” This information is useful as I determine which color options to present to my client.

Bring IN Nature.
A change in design...many clients struggle with selecting a theme for their events. Be mindful, themes change often and you must be open to thinking out of the box.

According to Brian Worley, director of design for Atlanta’s Bold Catering & Design. There will be a decline in Rustic and vintage motifs. “The idea of bringing the outdoors IN with lots of tailored greenery will replace the use of flowers in centerpieces. Green or Emerald, much like Merlot and Champagne, will be a coveted color for 2019."

I love it! Green and Emerald are two colors I simply love! Theses colors incorporated in with your color scheme will be amazing.

- KelbyOnTheTrack

I want to take a minute to simply say Thank You!

I am so glad that when you think you have no other opinions God will show you that yet again...HE has it all under control.

I had the pleasure of meeting two kind and professional young men this evening who took time out of their busy schedules to assist with me editing an audio piece for my daughter's upcoming audition at GPFAA.

The quality of service provided by these gentlemen was astonishing! I sincerely appreciate their efficient, gracious customer service, the level of detail and accountability they demonstrated on this project, and the way they conduct business as a whole.

I recommend these gentlemen with regard to your music production needs and will continue to, recommend your service to other companies and contacts. My team could not be more satisfied with your work, and we look forward to continuing this relationship

All the best,
K. LaShaae, CWEP|OC
