Event Planning

One of my passions is planning, and delivering, the dream event.  Whether it is a birthday celebration, baby shower, or a wedding, I love the idea of taking pinterest board vision(s) and making them a reality.

My first event planning experience came after my family opened our event venue, The Barn at Laurel Creek Farms.  I spent hours planning, collecting, and arranging table decor to create the ideal environment for my family’s personal events.  Then, my sister, Kellie, got engaged and soon began planning for her wedding at our family venue.  Until then, I had NO clue how time-consuming, expensive, and stressful a wedding could be.  The family had a ball-park budget for flowers and other decor but had no idea how costly the “other decor” would be.  We spent months purchasing items needed to pull off the Bride’s Pinterest vision.  We spent countless hours shopping in multiple stores, in multiple cities to get the items needed.  We bought lanterns, candles, bird cages, shepherds hooks, easels, and so much more to create the vision my sister had for her “big day”.

Then came the week of the wedding.  A friend and I were tasked with the job of decorating.  He was the mastermind behind designing and decorating the doorways and the arch.  Then, two nights before the wedding day, it was time to prepare the fresh flowers for the bridal bouquets, boutineers, and table centerpieces.  We spent hours Thursday night and Friday night arranging stems to create the bride’s vision for a perfect day.

The morning of the wedding was time to complete the set up.  We drove shephards hoods, lined up chairs, moved flower pots, and welcomed every vendor.  There was a list of to-dos the night before and the morning of that created a lot of anxiety and interfered with my role as maid of honor.  To be honest, my role as event coordinator came first as I took great pride in making sure every detail of the Bride’s vision was a reality.

You may be wondering why I shared every detail of my Sister’s wedding with you.  I did so to help you understand that creating the perfect event requires help, organized and dedicated help.  My team can assist you in planning and setting up for your “big day”.  You can walk in, and out, knowing you got to enjoy every minute, stress free–because you chose Krossroads Kreations to do the job for you.
