As the owner of planning...forever events, I am working at the most rewarding and hardest job of my career. I'm living my dream and loving every minute of it.
Not a big corporate firm, my team and I believe in giving our clients undivided attention. Whether it is the CEO of a local bank or an excited bride planning her wedding; we have developed a unique, accessible, all-about-you approach towards planning your event. We really enjoy people and we love what we do, so it's a winning combination.
Let's face it, we're not saving lives here. But we do make a positive impact on our client's lives. Saving money for our corporate clients by hiring us as a dedicated event planner, allows their full-time staff to concentrate on the primary business. Couples seek us out for us to listen to them and assist them with planning a wedding that will be just as creative and unique as they are.
Nope we don't save lives. But we certainly touch them.
