You’re Here Because…..

You are in search of a proven action plan so you can finally ditch the feelings of being overwhelmed and frustrated with all of those pesky event details

And

You are ready to increase awareness and impact to your purpose and mission, while promoting engagement and participation to drive growth for you and your business!

However-

juggling the demands of your responsibilities and the demands from your events doesn’t work anymore
you’re over the fact that you have to constantly change your schedule– trying to get it all done
just thinking about an event budget makes your head spin
you’ve learned that dealing with compliance guidelnes and regulations should really be a lawyer’s job
those last minute details for your event- that you thought were already done- are in fact- your last straw
you end up working during the entire event and miss out on everything

Let Me Guess,

Maybe the budget breakdown drains you and you wonder if your business will ever reap the benefits of hosting events
The worst is when those dreaded thoughts creep in, telling you you’ll be stuck with these long hours forever

Youre Not Alone

I totally get it. I’ve had clients come to me after spending thousands of dollars with high-end party planners and still not achieve half of their goals, decrease their workload or stress level, much less increase the event revenue
Many clients come to me saying, “I used to think that hosting my own event would make a difference for my business and be alot of fun- I just don’t feel that way anymore.” all because they can’t seem to find resources that align with their business that actually provide solutions

How would you feel if I told you……

There is a way to bring your vision to life

You will achieve your goals!

Elevating your event success levels while strengthening your business relationships- is within your reach.

Creating a thriving event ecosystem that supports your business mission & goals- is just around the corner!

Cultivating meaningful experiences and consistently delivering value to your internal and external stakeholders- is at your fingertips!

Success is not just about your annual budget achievements-

Its also about what kind of impact your business has on others!

So the questions are

If all of the previous ideas, steps, resources, and routines aren’t working….

“How do I increase my internal and external engagement and participation to drive growth and strengthen my relationships?”

“How do I maximize my event efforts to increase awareness and the impact of my business mission?”

With my comprehensive strategic planning and consulting, Im going to show you exactly how. Ive been there and I also know whats possible. I went from going through the motions getting things done in my business to aligning my purpose and mission while propelling my business beyond my vision and dreams- changing my business and my life!

Testimonials

Heather worked with me for several months planning my 80th birthday celebration. They made sure to include my ideas for what I envisioned, but they also had wonderful ideas. Perfect is the word that comes to mind when I think of the job they did. They are so talented as well as kind and considerate. I was a little stressed about different “possibilities”…..rain, how to zero in on count, etc. and they made sure I felt stress-free. The day of the party, Heather and team showed up early and transformed my backyard. The ladies working with Heather are great! My birthday party was so awesome….family and friends have raved over it.
