Q.
The full bridal party including
key family members want to have
a fun get together before the
wedding but still have it tied into
the wedding festivities. Do you have
any suggestions?

Inter-active educational get togethers are hot

groomsmen, parents etc

Q.
The couple I am planning a wedding for would
like something different as an ice breaker at
their wedding as not a lot of the guests coming
will know one another. Drinks will be passed and
there will be a variety of food stations so guests
will be mingling and moving around and they would
like to have something that will be a conversation
starter as well.
A.
A number of planners have started to use artists who
are skilled at sketching or painting the scene in front
of them as it unfolds. These artists are experts at
capturing guests in action and their painting is timed
to be finished by the end of the cocktail reception.

| Q.
I am looking to grow my wedding planning business. I presently get word of mouth referrals from weddings I have done from both wedding guests and suppliers I am working with, I take part in local wedding planning events and have taken out ads in local newspapers is there anything else I can be doing to attract new business?
A.
You may want to consider getting involved with non profit organizations and lending your event planning talents to them in exchange for receiving recognition in their event program. Working with committee heads and chairs – depending on the event and organization – could serve to introduce yourself to a new circle of acquaintances.
