What's so SPECIAL about Special Invite Event Planning




This is a question that I ponder on very often to ensure my goals are aligned with those of what are being displayed from day to day throughout the world of Special Invite. In an every changing industry, I find myself re-evaluating the business as a whole and making sure we keep our clients' needs at the forefront. The things that are SPECIAL about Special Invite Event Planning is visible in our everyday encounters with our clients.

So here's insight into "What's so SPECIAL about Special Invite Event Planning":
  1. Special Invite's #1 goal is to be an advocate for our clients! This means that we're putting the needs of our clients as the #1 priority. I know without them--Special Invite is nonexistent. We are making sure our clients are taken care of every step of the way through the planning process.
  2. Special Invite assist each client with planning and executing every detail to ensure their day goes as the client envisioned it to go. This simply means, we are here to advise our clients of current trends within the industry and offer our professional opinion(s) when needed. I like to think of this as the "Special Collaboration" between the professionals of Special Invite and our clients. This ensures the vision of the client stays true throughout the planning of the wedding or event.
  3. Limited....Special Invite values each of their clients and only accepts a limited number of weddings each year to ensure we're giving each client the utmost level of attention and dedication. I incorporated this thought early on as I did not want to spread the resources of Special Invite thin AND each of our clients are valuable to us.
  4. Knowledge is Power -- We (myself, associate coordinators, interns, etc.) are constantly increasing our knowledge by attending training workshops, industry seminars, and professional associations' (ABC, ISES, NACE, and AFWPI) meetings. I know, in order to grow on both a personal and business level, we must strive to be the best in the industry and educate ourselves in the process.
These are just a few things that stuck out to me as to what makes Special Invite so Special. So to sum it all up....we're SPECIAL because our client has been and will always be our #1 focus!
