I am from Brooklyn, NY. I am a mother of two beautiful children. I work at New York Presbyterian Hospital as a cashier. In 2012 I married my soulmate. I planned my dream wedding that turned out to be memorable and a huge success. I received so many compliments from my friends and family that day. I have also planned 7 birthday parties, 2 baby showers, and 2 christenings throughout the years. It was then that I knew I wanted to plan weddings, and events. I love being creative, putting ideas together, and creating unforgettable memories for people. 3E will be a wedding and event business that will serve all clients of various ​ ages, cultures, styles, and business occasions. “ My goal is to help ease ​ ​ clients’ stress and worries when planning their big day”. I love to see the look on my clients faces when their big day approaches and it is everything that they ever imagined. I would also want my clients to recommend my work to other people they know. The services that I offer are full service wedding & design, destination wedding planning & design, and partial wedding planning & month of coordination, etc. My business plan is to place advertisements in community base newspapers, and events -related magazines, and sponsor relevant community- based events and programs. I would also like to place billboards in different locations. The marketing strategies that I plan to use for my business are google search, craigslist, advertising, yelp, instagram, facebook, and youtube. I hope that using these strategies will help in bringing me clients to make my company grow successfully. 3 Our target market is any Bride, Corporate companies, or anyone that wants to plan a party for any type of event. Yes I do have a special talent, it is planning children’s birthday parties. I would be detailed and make sure to follow up with all appropriate vendors to ensure a beautiful event. I would say that is the talent that set me apart from others in the industry. My goal in 1 year is to get my certificate from Lovegevity. I plan to do internships to see how wedding and event planners run their businesses. As well as to gain more experience before having my own business. In 5 years I hope to have a location in Brooklyn, NY, and to hire three people to work with me to start my business. I hope to plan 30+ different events throughout the years. In 10 years I hope to hire an assistant, and hope the company is still growing. 4 Bridal Profile Questionnaire 1. Name of Bride-to-Be:___________________ 2.
