” Are your recently engaged? We are ready to help Plan and resource your wedding”.

Best wishes and congratulations!  So, where do you go from here with so many things to get done and so many deadlines to meet?  Getting engaged is a wonderful and joyous occasion that deserves a full celebration all of its own, especially if you’re someone like me who waited until later in life to say “Yes”!

Before the excitement of being engaged wears off, already the race against the clock begins to meet recommended timelines of wedding planning for everything from the engagement party to the bachelor/bachelorette party to the rehearsal dinner to the afternoon tea and breakfast the morning of and finally, yes finally the wedding.  Of course, there is also the time line of shopping for and selecting the wedding dress, making time for fittings, selecting a theme, color scheme, venue, registries, vendors and on and on the list goes.  With so much to be done, how do just two people fit it all in to make the most important day of their lives the most special and elegant?  They don’t!

Couples look to family and friends and ultimately professionals to help meet all of those timelines in an effort to reduce their stress and focus on what matters most, having a lifelong and happy marriage.  The wedding industry has become quite a business as more and more couples come to realize the importance of having their special day play out just as they’ve always dreamed.  The Party ReduX takes great pride in working with couples and other vendors to do just that.

By utilizing the services of a professional in the industry, such as The Party ReduX of Jeffery Jackson Enterprises Inc, couples can take advantage of a wider array of resources and have access to the latest trends.  It also takes the guess work out of what works and what does not. It is a proven fact and practice that one of the first steps for a successful wedding is an introduction of the two families.   Imagine having your parents meeting your in-laws at the wedding and finding they are not impressed upon first impression!  Ponder that thought for a few minutes and you can imagine just how quickly that can change the mood of your entire day.  Having the in-laws meet prior to the wedding day allows for both families to mingle, interact and get to know a little about one another for themselves.  Soliciting the assistance of a professional can lead to creative ideas for ways to engage and “break the ice” amongst families.  A truly trained professional can also assist in helping to overcome some of the differences the two families perceive how the wedding should be.  A wedding professional affords couples a go between to help reign in ideas without compromising relationships before they have an opportunity to grow, although couples may opt to handle this step on their own.  In either case, this is an important step that should not be overlooked whenever possible.  Many great ideas and helpful planning tips can come from this meeting of the families. Remember, this is a time for fun but also a time to gather helpful information to make your day the Best day of your lives.

Although the Brookside Country Club bridal show was challenged by an ice storm, the showcase inside highlighted some hot wedding colors and decors for 2015.

Don’t just take my word for it, just take a look at this video, or some of the attached portfolio pictures, or visit The Party ReduX storefront on WeddingWire.com.

To all you Brides-to-Be, I hope your 2015 bridal show experiences will be helpful and informative. Equally, you
will find us to have a helpful, informative and unfailing focus on your needs.

I believe it was Bill Withers who sang it best “…winter, spring, summer or fall, all you got to do is call…you got a friend…”.

When it’s time to rent party equipment for graduations, holidays, the Super Bowl, etc., consider calling an existing friend to share the cost. Perhaps they are planning a party as well, and by adding your plans onto theirs, together you both can give the dream party.

Think of this as the piggyback method to affordable event planning.

For example, you can share the cost of a weekend rental. You take it one day and they the next day. Together, you can pick up the party rentals for one event, then relocate them for the next event and then return them. However you work out the logistics, the savings you each realize can be significant.

For you adventurous piggyback brides-to-be, try finding another bride-to-be with a wedding day next to yours. Perhaps a Saturday, if your wedding is Friday. Or perhaps a noon event if yours is an evening. You never know what may be possible, if you both are willing to work with the same event planner or party rental firm.

What a great time it is for me to carry my kids piggyback style. Since we were going the same way, I provide them a lift, which allowed them to save their energy for a later cowboy ride on their favorite bronco horse…my knee.

“…winter, spring, summer or fall, all you got to do is call…you got a friend…”. Let me suggest The Party ReduX Showcase in Pottstown at 484-949-4160.

Update: A couple of brides to be contacted me regarding the piggyback concept. We worked it out.

Here is what one of them had to say.

How do the key party rental industry players, who are known for their reliability and durability, stumble and fall? Some have suggested far-sightedness, having lost their near-sight ability to see, understand and act on behalf of the local customer. Others may suggest, their financial gaming for growth, such as unrealistic pricing to get volume, undermined their key qualities of reliability and durability. In the end, the customers’ 3D needs moved away from their 2D business model.

Into the picture comes a vendor, who can see, understand and act on this generation of customer wants. Where their 2D business mantra, “Meet Customer Needs, Systematically, at a Profit”, achieves 3D at the point of getting to Y.E.S. (Your Event Specialist) and when “We Put the SPECIAL in Special Events!” For this vendor, the qualities of reliability and durability are renewed and made relevant again.  Why? Here is the Top 10 breakdown:

Reliability

1. Dependability you can count on
2. Consistency  based upon frequent customer collaboration and reinforcement
3. Steadfastness acting as your mentor during the stay on budget/cost phases
4. Trustworthiness you experience through greater transparency
5. Unswerving responses, with a sense of immediacy and urgency in communication
6. Unfailing focus on your needs and wants, your gratification

Durability

1. Able to perform and compete over long periods and distances , enabled by Mobile applications
2. Endurance which thrives on multitasking
3. Staying power via the internet and Social media such as Facebook, Pinterest, always on and present everywhere
4. Enabling your stick-to-itiveness, when you want to be more independent and seek out viable ways to contribute to your own interest

When you can get this quality combination of reliability and durability focused on your needs, who are you going to engage …TODAY?

Have you finished culinary school but have not landed your syndicated cooking show? It’s 2014! Time to start your dream journey. The next stage may be as an independent contractor in the Brassbull Catering Network.

Here is your seat at the table that you need to take your independent catering services to the next level.

It’s been said that new innovative ideas require old buildings or warehouses. The Brassbull Catering Network has a shared workspace opening for a brash, emergent caterer in an old bank building on High Street. Not a job, but an opportunity to build your business in a safe haven.

We’ve made the office equipment, information technology and telecommunication investments that you don’t have to make. All this was created just so you can continue to focus on your business growth.

There’s more. If you like to decorate as much as you cater parties or weddings, then you’re in luck. We’re building an in-house party décor and catering inventory, as a commission-based boost to your income potential.

If you see yourself as an emerging off-premise caterer and can picture yourself in that seat, email me at thepartyredux@gmail.com. Together, we may bring innovative ideas out of an old building to new clients.

When it’s time to get immersed in your industry, where do you go? Where do you go to sharpen your skills and gain new ideas?

For me it was on the WeddingWire World Tour. The 2014 event I attended was in Washington DC after Fathers Day. This all day event refueled my interest in serving the wedding market, introduced me to some of the current industry thought leaders, and I found a treasure of ideas I can adopt for my business.

I also got to meet some of the leadership team at WeddingWire, my choice of the bridal portal and destination for brides and grooms- to-be. Of particular value was meeting my aligned WeddingWire account manager. She and I reviewed my storefront, advertizing and actionable business tools, that I’ll put in place to make your customer experience exceptional. Some examples are “contact us” and “make an appointment” buttons on every page of my website. Also I’ve added “customer reviews” on every website page.

It was great to meet, discuss, and live the dream with other wedding industry participants. I was thrilled by the networking opportunities. As a group they were focused to learn and shared experience and insights with me. The foundations for long term relationships and shared resources were set in place. These new resources will be further developed for my clients and partners.

I can’t wait to bring some real thought leadership back from our nation’s capital, into our area in general, and the local wedding marketplace in particular. I benefitted from the 2014 WeddingWire World Tour and my clients will too, during our engagements.
