YOU UNIQUE?
I think my specialty is in helping
people with small budgets have a

mitzvah child.

Custom designs that
stand the test of time.

WHAT KINDS OF PROBLEMS
HAVE YOU SOLVED?
I've helped organize candlelight-

MELISSA GEDRICH,
owner of Mel G. Events in
Farmington Hills,
melgevents.corn.

WHAT DOES A CLIENT GET
WHEN HIRING YOU?
I have been planning corporate
events for more than 15 years, but
last year added "day-of" helper to
my roster. Prior to the event, I help
recommend vendors, brainstorm
ideas, go over logistics, contact
all vendors and pick up items to
bring to the venue. During the
event, I arrive early to help with
set up of table cards, candlelight-
ing and any other details.

WHY IS A PLANNER HELPFUL?
I've found that hiring someone to
provide "day-of" help is usually
not on the top of anyone's bud-
get list — but after almost every
event, clients tell me they couldn't
have done it without me.

MELISSA VITALE
HORTICK, owner of Melissa
Vitale Hortick Event Planner
in West Bloomfield, (248)
672-8687.

WHAT DOES A CLIENT GET
WHEN THEY HIRE YOU?
I am very passionate about creat-
ing unforgettable events specific
to my client's desires. I am meticu-
lous in planning, collaborating,
designing, implementing and
managing each event, ensuring
that each flows seamlessly.

WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH
YOU UNIQUE?
My father is [30-year veteran local
bandleader] Simone Vitale, so I
have literally grown up in this
industry.

WHAT KINDS OF PROBLEMS
HAVE YOU SOLVED?
A major rainstorm completely
flooded a carpeted tent eight
hours pre-party. We took care of it.

LAUREN FINSILVER
JACKSON, owner of
Leave it to Lauren Event
Planning + Design in
Commerce Township,
Leaveittolaurenevents. corn.

WHAT DOES A CLIENT GET
WHEN THEY HIRE YOU?
I help clients with concept and
decor, guidance, advice — plus I
provide a master list specific to
their party.

WHY IS A PLANNER HELPFUL?
A person can benefit from a plan-
ner if they feel overwhelmed by
the planning process or are just
busy with the stress of their own
everyday lives. Planners save cli-
ents time researching vendors for
items such as linens, chairs, light-
ing, music, photographers and so
on and can actually save a client
money because of our expertise,
asking the right questions and
relationships with vendors. ❑

What To Ask A Prospective Planner







Will I be dealing with you or with someone else in your office?
Are you willing to work within my budget?
How long do you stay at my event?
Are you a party planner or a decorator — or both?
Do you do the work yourself or subcontract out to other ven-
dors?
• Can you provide the names of former clients/references whom I
can call?
