PAMPI Awards Gala

May 23, 2016

We were so excited to receive this amazing review from PAMPI after performing for this year’s awards gala at the Logan Hotel in Philadelphia, PA. Lisa Sebastiani and I featured our “DJ & Electric Violin”. It was so much fun to put a Modern, Exciting, and Different twist on some nostalgic music for this fun prom theme!

“From the moment I told DJ Shelly the theme for our gala this year was “Prom”, she jumped on board immediately! This amazing lady grasped our concept and ran with it. She played eclectic remixes of nostalgic classics, bringing us all back to the time of our lives. She even had an woman playing an electric violin show up and play along with her!

I cannot thank her enough for helping create a successful, classy, and fun event!!! I would highly recommend her for her creativity, her professionalism during the process, and her execution.”

– Allery Elder, Director of Special Events for Philadelphia Area Chapter Meeting Planers International (PAMPI)

Why hire an event, or wedding planner?

May 23, 2016

You have an event to plan and you say, “I can do this myself! All I need to do is find a venue, cater, entertainment, photographer and BOOM! My event is going to be awesome!”

While I’m sure your event will raise the roof, planning the event may also raise your blood pressure! I am not trying to rain on your parade, or whatever type of event you’re planning. Yet, I want to ask you a few questions which may change your mind about hiring a professional to help!

VENUE

What type of venue best fits your event?

What is the best location for everyone invited?

Do they have packages to fit your budget?

How many guests can the venue accommodate?

Do they have free parking? If not, where can your guests park?

Do they include lighting? Or is it extra?

What type of insurance do they require your vendors carry?

CATERER

What type of cuisine best fits your event?

Will your caterer accommodate guests with allergies?

Have you researched their reviews?

Do they serve your area?

Are they available for your event date?

ENTERTAINMENT

What type of entertainment best fits your event? DJ, band, instruments, magician, aerialist, or other artists?

Do they carry insurance?

What are their reviews?

What type of space do they need to perform?

Can they provide sound for the number of guests you expect, or do you need to hire a sound company?

Do they MC your event as well?

Do they have any load in or set up needs?

Is a deposit required? When is the final payment due?

Are there travel costs involved?

Does their pricing include lighting or staging?

PHOTOGRAPHER

Do they specialize in a certain style?

What is the lead time for the final images?

How are the photos delivered?

Is an album included?

How easy is it for you to share the photos with your friends and family? Do they provide a link to an online gallery? If so, is the gallery public, or private?

Michelle Lee’s Summary!

Believe it or not, these questions are just off the cufflinks! To plan an event that’s off the chain, you’ll need to go into much more detail! A professional event, or wedding planner can help you to tackle these tasks and many more – saving you a ton of time and headache!

So you’ve decided it may be best to leave this event planning stuff to the professionals. However, you’re struggling with taking the high blood pressure, versus a high price tag. Don’t fret! Most clients are not aware that there are all types of event planners and packages. Regardless if you only need help with a few tasks, or the entire event, we know the event planner for you! We want your event to be an unforgettable experience for you and your guests! Contact us today!

Michelle Lee’s Summary

You may want to rethink this airport hotel for your wedding! When I visited this newly renovated hotel, I should’ve wore my wings! There was so much to see. I could’ve been flying around all day! What did this DJ find? This hotel is your “gateway to NYC and beyond”. Located just 15 miles from NYC, the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott has numerous venue spaces with a Grand Ballroom which can accommodate up to 1, 000 guests. Would you like the urban style wedding without having to fight city traffic? You may love this hotel for it’s Manhattan views, parking on site, captain’s quarters for exclusive members, the glow room, air traffic control tower (photo ops!), the Aviation Grill restaurant & bar, wedding suites, 24hr fitness center, complimentary airport shuttle (right to the baggage claim!), and deluxe guest rooms where you can comfortably relax in peace and quiet.

“Did you say quiet? Isn’t this hotel at the airport?”

Yes. Believe it or not, the guest rooms are extremely quiet! If it wasn’t for the outside view, you’d forget you’re at the airport!

“Did you say air traffic control?”

I did! The air traffic control tower is located on the hotel’s parking lot. Talk about a cool photo op for you and your guests!

“What is a glow room?”

Doesn’t everyone love a good after party? The Marriott has an intimate venue room, especially for you and your guests to continue your private after party!
