Party Quote
"Never be the first to arrive at a party or the last to go home and never, never be both” David Brown
Event Planning
I LOVE TO PLAN EVENTS! I love throwing parties and gatherings. I think that may be my next calling in life. Don't get me wrong it is a lot of work and stressful but I love to party, and most of the time they turn out great!
My friends always joke that they need two days to recover from one of my parties. I am like a social butterfly and like to connect with people in different locations and areas so whenever a party comes up I can refer them or work with them.
I love being a resource to where to go or eat or book a party. My husband's friend contacted me yesterday to provide a list of locations for his company's holiday party. He knows I have been to a ton of places so I sent him a list of places to look into for his holiday party. My friend came back to town for dinner and she was going out with a girlfriend and texted me for suggestions of where they should go. Within minutes I provided a list and my favorite dishes at each place. She ended up going to my favorite restaurant-Brasistas and they loved it! My girlfriend just got engaged and asked me to email her a list of places she should look into. She was cracking up because within 20 minutes I sent her a list of 10 venues and what I liked and did not like about them. I have a very busy social life and go out to dinner almost once a week. I always seem to take in everything around me, and love chic places. I am very observant and like details. I also like to try new places, yes I do go back to the ones I like but for the most part I like to try new restaurants and new places.
As a Virtual Assistant I have to work with so many different people at different levels so my comfort level with communicating with others is pretty high. I also have learned to ask the right questions when picking venues for my client's events since I am not local and can not see the venues for my self.
I think I am a great communicator, people may say I complain a lot but the fact is I like to express my opinion-not that it is always right but I am very open about what I like and do not like. Yes, at times I should keep my opinion to myself but most of the time I have a loose tongue!
So for any of you out there who need help with planning an event or need ideas for locations please feel free to contact me. I will be sure to give you my honest opinion and would be more than happy to help!
