Balloons... Confetti.... Glitter... Champagne... Dancing.... These are a few of our favorite things! But what most of our clients look to us for is vendor recommendations. A good event planner knows who and where to find the right service that suits what you are looking for. And when they find a venue, vendor, or valuable contact - they refer them! Visit our "Favorite Things" page on our website to find a list of places, people and things we love! And if you think someone or someplace is missing, let us know. We love meeting new people too! CLICK HERE to visit our "Favorite Things" My Big Day would be crazy not to post about Valentine's Day, since we LOVE love and parties! And we'd also be crazy not to promote the FUN packages we have put together for Valentine's Day. In the 10 years we've lived in Loveland, and 8 years in business, we've always longed for more to do in our great Sweetheart City! Loveland is not only home of the Valentine's re-mailing program, and streets lined with giant wooden hearts with loving messages... we are the home of Valentine's Day! We take great pride in celebrating love. With our friends, Heidi from Heiditown and Mechelle from NoCo Short Bus Tours, we decided to put together packages that celebrate Valentine's Day and all our city has to offer.

-Cheers! Whether you are planning a corporate event, a baby shower, a bridal shower, a birthday party, or a wedding... you have a number of vendors out there to choose from. How to you pick? While referrals are great, how to you widen your options, and easily narrow down the vendors who you'll trust to pull your event off with grace? Easy... You do your research You ask them carefully prepared questions You go with your gut! Here Are The Top 10 Things You Should Consider When Interviewing Vendors: 1. Will the vendor commit to your budget and not push you in the direction of things you simply can't afford? 2. Will the vendor pay attention to the smallest of details? Are they prompt and articulate? (You can gage these things by their promptness in returning phone calls and emails, showing up for your meetings early or on time, and by giving you more information that you even asked for) 3. Can the vendor give you thoughtful and original ideas, showing that they are not only invested in their industry, but experienced? 4. Is the vendor familiar with multiple florists, photographers, caterers, planners, bands, and DJs in your price range? Can he/she explain their strongpoints to you briefly? 5. Can the vendor score you some discounts with any other vendors, help you negotiate pricing, or in the least, speak of general pricing for other vendors in the industry to help you with your negotiations? 6. Is the vendor legit? Do they have a website, a Facebook page, a Pinterest page, etc? Can you find reviews about their company online? Can they give you a list of referrals? 7. Can the vendor counsel you on industry etiquette matters and speak to hot trends on the horizon? 8. For the day of the event, can the vendor commit to working with only YOU (not juggling multiple clients)? 9. Will the vendor act as your advocate, conveying your visions and desires to others when you don't feel up to the task? 10. PASSION. Does the vendor have it? If you ask them about their favorite part of their job, do their eyes light up? If you ask them to tell you about why they got into the industry, do they have a compelling story they love to tell? If they can’t tell you why they love their job, will they put passion into your Big Day? Probably not. Note: A professional should have plenty of questions for YOU too. They should easily be able to determine your wishes, needs, level of maintenance, budget, scope of imagination, and more!
Have you seen this yet? Everyone is buzzing about it! Crest and Oral-B came up with a hilariously honest video demonstrating how kids feel about Halloween candy. The kids in this video were only told that they would be the first ones to try brand-new Halloween treats. What happens on film is pure magic! A Loveland bridal store that has given away hundreds of dresses in the past two years will do it again this Sunday, 10/20/13. Loveland Wedding Center, formerly Wed Wisely, has set its third annual giveaway for 1-6 p.m. Sunday at the shop, 680 E. Eisenhower Blvd. My Big Day is a BIG fan of Dianne, owner of the Loveland Wedding Center. She is a fantastic seamstress, and even altered the dress of Christine Kovacs on her wedding day. If you know of someone deserving of a dress, who could otherwise not afford it for their BIG DAY, contact Dianne. Here is a link to the Reporter Herald Article: CLICK HERE |
