About Me & What I Do ~ Event Planning, Coordination & Design

Hi y'all! It's the wee hours of the morning and of course I'm awake. As an entrepreneur and business owner, when I can't sleep....I work. I plan. I have uninterrupted quiet time to process all the ideas and projects I have swirling around in my head. The creative brain never sleeps!

One of the things that's been on my mind a lot lately is how to let folks know exactly what I do. When you say "event planner" or "event designer", most don't know all of the different aspects that entails. Over my 10 years in business my services have expanded greatly, but how do you get the word out? While I've always been an avid blogger, I'm hitting social media extra hard these days in an effort to share what I do!

I post regularly on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and participate in groups and discussions.....I'm on Honeybook to collaborate with clients and vendors. Follow me for updates on what's going on and what we currently have available! You can always drop me an email to receive our full menu of services and current list of products.

So, let's break it down....what does Michéll Events do? 


:: Event Planning ::

Our event planning packages cover everything needed to plan an event from beginning to end. Budget worksheets, checklists, vendor recommendations, contract reviews, venue tours, planning meetings and more. For those who have already partially planned their event but need help tying the loose ends, we have partial planning packages available as well.

I have of course planned a large amount of weddings, but my experience doesn't stop there. I've done weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, vow renewals, business open houses, huge bridal shows (planned and coordinated them, not just marketing at a vendor table), Baptism receptions, charity fundraisers, auctions, expos and tradeshows, baby showers, bridal showers, engagement parties....anything with a guest list, we can plan it for you! 

I want to clear up the myth about planners being "an added expense that we can't afford". In all honesty, if you select the correct planner they will save you money you wouldn't have saved otherwise. Vendors we work with regularly will pass on discounts, wholesalers we have accounts with enable us to purchase items for less than the general public, we'll help you avoid costly mistakes with bookings and contracts, and we'll have tips for keeping your budget under control throughout the whole process. Hiring a planner is an investment, not an added expense, and in our case it can definitely pay for itself! We offer a free consultation to sit and discuss the details with you, see if we mesh well, and let you know what we can offer for your needs and budget. Give me a call at (469)-475-7089 to schedule your free consult!

:: Event Coordination ::

Once your event is all planned, you'll need to make sure those plans are carried out. For larger events, there are a lot of moving parts that need to be kept on top of. It's difficult to enjoy the fabulous party you're hosting while you're on your feet back and forth making sure everything is the way it's supposed to be or handling issues that arise. That's where we come in. You enjoy the party or event, and we do whatever behind the scenes work is necessary so you can.

I've seen a lot of coordinators who say "we don't do ______" or "______ is not included". Our packages aren't that way. In my experience, the job of the coordinator is to fill in wherever it's needed. Sometimes that's cutting the wedding cake when the venue won't, which I've done before. Sometimes that's taking the trash to the dumpster at the end of the night because the venue staff didn't, which I've done before. Sometimes it's arranging last minute shuttle service because the limo broke down and there isn't a backup, which I've done before. Sometimes it's going to buy Granny some pantyhose because she got a runner, which I've done before. Our job is to pull off the perfect event for our client, whatever it takes!

:: Event Design ::

Event design covers all the details that go into making your event look the way you envision it in your mind. Some clients have their theme and ideas all laid out for us and we can replicate that..."I want a circus theme with a petting zoo and cotton candy and a live band". No problem! Some just say "I really like pink and yellow" and we take it from there. We can work with you to create your vision, or we can design the vision for you based on what you want.

Flowers, linens, lighting, lounge areas, candles, archways, signs & frames, fabrics, vases, displays, and so many other small décor details go into designing an event. We have you covered on all of them to make it look spectacular!

:: Floral Design ::

Flowers are my passion! Floral design is part of our event design service, but we do more with flowers than large events! We're like your local florist. We have accounts with floral wholesalers to buy in bulk and at a discount, only we don't have the overhead or upkeep of a storefront...which is how we're able to offer discounted prices on floral orders.

Obviously we do flowers for large events and weddings, but think of us for your smaller floral needs as well! All holidays such as Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Easter.....Birthdays, Anniversaries, Congratulations, Get Well, Graduation, Memorials, Recital or Pageant Bouquets, School Dance Boutonnieres & Corsages.....or Just Because!

Our "Just Because" Single Rose deliveries have become very popular! A rose every week for a month, just because......very romantic! (suggested by a gentleman customer of ours, and it's catching on!). Cost is $60 which includes 4 weekly deliveries of single roses, and the delivery fee included!

We have plans for floral workshops and parties in the planning stages....details coming soon!!!!

Weekly and monthly business deliveries are also available! Salons, restaurants, hotels, realtors with open houses, shops and retailers, or any other business setting that needs a floral boost! You can specify the colors and style you want, or you can leave it to us to create a new design every time. Our weekly and monthly deliveries start at $45. Contact us at (469) 475-7089 to schedule one-time, weekly or monthly floral deliveries!
