    Ask This Question Before You Hire Entertainment

    Good morning all! I hope you have had your coffee and a doughnut or two. One of my commenters from a previous post (How To Hire The Wrong Entertainment) brought out such a good point, that I felt it important to point out in today's post (Thanks, Bob).

After all, a planner is often expected to know the ins and outs of the entertainment industry . . . and the hospitality industry .

    Inside The Cloister At Sea Island

    East coast entertainers, Gracie & Lacy, entertained at the elegant, private resort, The Cloister at Sea Island.

The luxuriously decorated resort provided both an austere and dignified setting for the events of the evening. Guests dressed in their finest red white and blue formal attire, mingled through a silent auction array of original

    Event Planner Confessions . . . What Are Yours?

    "No, the goldfish in the centerpieces aren't dead . . . they're just sleeping." Admit it. If you are an event planner, you're just not normal. The good news is, you are not alone, there are many of us hyper-alert, over-caffeinated, clipboard-holding earthlings wandering the planet. Perhaps you can relate to these confessions of event planners: Check your work email *cough cough* during church Go to events you aren't interested in, just to check out the venue Polish your shoes

    And Then, God Created #EventProfs . . .

    And so it was in ancient times, that on the 8th day, God created event planners. Gazing down from heaven He saw that the event planner was the most unusual of all his creations. As it was decreed, all of God's creatures took the 7th day of each week as a day of rest. But not the event planner. God smiled. After all, someone needs to coordinate the day of rest lest there be chaos and disorder of every kind. Someone to plan the dress code and keep people from eating the wrong f
