Event Planning Services
Our event planning services are geared to save you time, energy and hassle. You won’t have to worry about the endless details associated with planning a corporate event, social get-together or wedding, and you’ll be able to relax and mingle with your guests at the event itself.
Celebrations – Events by Michelle D offers a wide range of event planning services in Columbia, MO but can also assist with “destination” weddings and events as well. Our goal is to make sure that your meeting or celebration is a success from start to finish and that you’ve stayed within budget!
In fact, helping you budget appropriately and get the most for your money is part of the job we enjoy most and that clients most appreciate. I and my team have developed relationships with vendors such as caterers, musicians, florists and banquet facilities that enable us to negotiate a good deal for you. We also know, based on experience, where corners can be cut and where they really shouldn’t be.
Because every event is unique and every client has their own preference as to the amount of assistance they require, we can tailor an event planning package to suit your needs. (Check out my Wedding Planning packages on my Weddings page.)
Event Consultation
If you have the time and energy to do most of the work, hiring me as your Event Consultant is an affordable way to put my expertise to work for you. I’ll answer questions, offer suggestions, recommend vendors and help you deal with problems that arise – and I’ll pull in expertise and assistance from members of my event planning team as needed.
Event Planning and Management
From creating a timeline (perhaps a year in advance), contacting vendors and negotiating contracts to actually attending the event to supervise and manage its operation, our attention to detail, extensive list of contacts and comprehensive approach assures that your party or event will run smoothly – and that there’s a backup plan in place just in case there’s a problem.
Theme Generation and Idea Creation
We can help you create an event to remember! Tell us what you’d like to do – schedule a fundraising dinner, celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary, or cater a “Sweet 16” party – and we’ll help you with food, décor and ideas that make your dream come to life.
Promoting, Publicizing and Marketing Your Event
Whether you need help ordering wedding invitations and handling the RSVPs or coordinating graphics, printing and promotional materials for a corporate event, we can help.
Event Day Management
More and more clients are asking us to manage and supervise the event itself so that they can mingle with guests and enjoy the event. Celebrations – Events by Michelle D. can help with setup and breakdown, coordinate vendors, troubleshoot problems and do all those little details necessary to keep your event running smoothly.
We’d love to visit with you by phone or in person and talk about your big day – please call and let’s set up a time to talk!
“Michelle – I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work and dedication to Rob and I’s wedding. It meant a lot to us and we had a blast! You did an amazing job and I just wanted to say thanks.”
