Vendors Getting Along = Successful Event!
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged for Let’s Party! as duties of life & business take time. Still, I feel it’s important to help where I can.
I had the pleasure of working this past weekend at The Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens in Old West Palm Beach along with Chez Goumet catering for a lovely couple, Jessica & Trent.
The bride was actually the daughter of my dear friend & business associate, Kim Fontaine, Photographer. Naturally it was an honor to be there for multiple reasons. Over time most of us develop a personal friendships with those we work with. To be chose among all the DJ/MCs that Kim knows through nearly 30 years in this industry is really an honor!
I digress, as I want to make a point about how vendors treat each other & how that ensures a smooth event.
Communication & camaraderie is essential every step of the way. I had the pleasure of working with Sherri, Mark, and the Chez Gourmet Saff and I can tell you from experience that the way a fellow pro works with you, is a strong indicator of how they feel about their business and clients as well. Everything was smooth, professional, & perfectly timed. The staff kept me abreast of any happenings, courses, etc, and I was able to time my performance accordingly.
The Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens was great too! Donna & Isolde were very clear as to set up, expectations, timeline, etc. They were also great about letting us know about convenient parking etc. Super helpful & polite. I really appreciate that! I realize most are more likely interested in the beauty/ambiance. Well, this is truly a hidden gem. Gorgeous gardens, great sculpture, wonderful walking paths & fountains. It’s something of a little oasis and very much worth a visit. So much so, that my wife and I had and took the pleasure of doing so just a few days after I worked there!
Anyway, I just wanted to share. If I can ever be of any help to you in planning your event, helping with referrals, or general feedback, please reach out anytime!
Best,
