The Essay

Debonair Occasions by Courtney will be a full-service wedding, personal event, and corporate event company, offering a wide range of coordination services. My company will offer services such as a full-service package, partial planning package, day of coordination, destination and international package, corporate events, baby showers, birthday parties and much more. I will also offer a host of additional services such as an image consultation and a favor package. Debonair Occasion will also plan bridal parties, engagement parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties as an additional service. Starting off I will work with clientele in the $20,000-$40,000 budget range to gain experience and build a portfolio. In two years I plan to aim for a more upscale level and our ideal clientele’s budget will range from $100,000.000 and up. My long-term goal is to only plan million-dollar weddings. However, I know I need to gain all practical experience on a lower level before I can’t reach that goal. I plan to use social media, business cards and flyers as marketing tools. From sponsored adds to posting daily on my business page, I will be fresh on my follower’s mind when they’re in need of a coordinator. I will also attend wedding expos to build relationships with clients.
