Visualize the perfect event

Making sure your event goes smoothly can be challenging. To make it easier, and help ease stress, use visualization techniques! First, take some time to relax where you won’t be bothered or interrupted. It is important that you clear your mind of stress and worries before you begin your visualization. If not, the experience won’t be enjoyable and you’ll find yourself imagining the terrible things you DON’T want to happen.

Once you are truly relaxed, imagine your whole event from start to finish, running smoothly. You don’t have to know EXACT details (like WHO your caterer is, WHAT your mother-in-law is wearing, etc…unless of course you have specific preferences) just the things that matter to you most, like: What is your dj like? Outgoing and fun? Or quiet and in the background? What does the venue look like (if you don’t have a preference, use your imagination to think of things)? What kind of food is your caterer serving? Are there specific dietary needs of you or any of your guests that you should keep in mind? What is the mood of your event? Wild, unique, and fun? Elegant and orderly? Casual? What songs are being played? Really get into it, and write down any notes you should take. If writing helps you get creative, write out all the details that you imagine! Review it often, to keep the vision clear in your head.

The purpose of this expercise is to help you gain clarity and anticipate how you would desire your event to go. That way, when it comes time to meet and hire the entertainment, event coordinators, etc, you will already know what you want, and be able to express your desires clearly. Some people are so suprised when they realize the entertainment they hired wasn’t what they desired AFTER the event is already over! And sometimes it’s hard to know what you want until something goes wrong; then you realize what you DON’T want! But that doesn’t do any good! So visualize your perfect event beforehand, and relay your vision to the people you will be working with. Stress will disappear!

So just ask us if you have trouble finding anything…that perfect instrument to be played as you walk down the isle; the perfect catering company; the perfect theme for a costume party; the perfect dj to blend beautifully into the mood of your specific event.
