Sometimes I even forget this! When choosing your planner, it's important to see if you click with the person. You're not just booking our planning style, you're also booking our personality. So here is mine...And I laugh...and smile....a lot. I'm a perky and happy person. I've had the nickname "peachy" since I was a kid, hence, why my name is hyphenated. A videographer told me once that he wishes he could bottle up my laugh. tee hee. I've been told my energy is contagious.
As much as I have tried to rid my "new york state of mind" ways (I was born and raised there), I am still direct, frank, blunt, honest and to the point. Now, its just more with a subtle and softer Midwest feel than in the old days. I think it earns me respect because brides and colleagues alike know that I am going to be an open book on just about anything. They also know that I will meet them halfway if I can. I love colors, fabrics, textures, tones, and bringing it together with a common theme that reflects my clients' tastes. I want clients and their guests to walk into a reception and gasp in delight, saying "that is SO them."
My husband is truly my ideal complement! He and I went to see Star Wars in (orchestra) concert last night at US Bank Arena. It was amazing! My husband and I both have a love for musical theater and going to concerts together. We've seen Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and A Chorus Line at La Comedia; Rent at the Aronoff (which featured original broadway cast members Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascall!); Same Time, Next Year; Rent; Phantom of the Opera; Stomp; and Blast at the Schuster Center; Heart, Sheryl Crow, Brian Culbertson, Jewel, Dave Koz and Diana Krall at the Fraze; and various artists at JD Legends. We also love watching movies together. We try to (still!) have date night once a week and see a movie (in a theater or rented) or go to a show. We sing around the house all the time. No kids, don't plan on any, but we spoil our 6 nephews like crazy. We live each day like its our last, because we feel that life is yours to miss.
When I was in high school, I wanted to be a musical theater major as I had studied music and performing for most of my childhood. When I got to college, I decided to focus on event planning, marketing and PR. Before I started Your Dream Day, I performed or participated in 3-4 community theater productions per year and sang as a cantor at my church. Since then, I haven't been in a show or cantoring. I am thrilled that for the first time in 5 years, be in a show! I am doing a dinner theater production with the Darke County Civic Theater on new year's eve. I'd like to start doing that again more.
I am a total people pleaser by nature, so sometimes I put my work and clients before myself. This is good for the clients but can be sometimes bad for me as a person. It feeds into my workaholic nature. (Which I guess is good for the person reading this...lol...and for the 30+ event planning clients we have each year!). I'm also good with technology, multi-tasking, texting and computers so I can email, text, load things on servers, etc. I try to set one day a week as being off so that I am still married to Jim and not my job. I also schedule in personal time for myself during our busy season -- even if it's just a manicure, it's still an hour to myself that I wouldn't have had during a 7 day workweek. I think it makes me more productive for everyone, including myself.
So this is me. =) My style. My personality. And the planner you'll get from Your Dream Day. We like to laugh, keep it real and have fun planning the wedding. Is this thread too much information?
