We, at Lovestruck Event Planning, look forward for an opportunity to create signature events for client’s in Kansas City and the surrounding areas. Our innovative design concepts and medley of party and additional services will provide clients with a variety of options to choose from for their momentous event from “Yes!” to “I Do!”. Because the primary vision for Lovestruck Event Planning will be providing clients with a great selection of additional services that are not currently offered in the Kansas City area, such as romantic date night packages or assistance with wedding anniversary gift and surprise date ideas, these will help set us apart from our competitors.

The marketing strategy heavily depends on social networks and strategic marketing tools within the social networks. Snapchat for instance, will have customized filters for our clients that will be integrated with Instagram. Facebook and Twitter will provide a great opportunity to reach more clients and a great way to offer promotions for our unique services. Pinterest will help offer a platform for future portfolio examples and a foundation for blog to attach to our website. Making sure we attend Bridal Fairs and wedding industry seminars in the Kansas City area will also create great networking opportunities to meet new people and expand our brand in a successful and hands-on manner. The high quality of service we want to be known for is very important to us so it will be one of the main factors to consider when we choose marketing tools for Lovestruck Event Planning.

In the next year, Lovestruck Event Planning will begin building a solid foundation in the Kansas City wedding and event industry by participating in local events and professional development seminars. The first year will primarily focus on growing our brand name and letting others know what we have to offer. Our five year goals include finding a professional office space with allocated space for showroom. We would also like to grow our design services by focusing on additional emphasis on potential wedding design packages. Finding a successful niche that is different from competitors is a major task to focus on within our goal projection. Ten years down the road, we would love to have a strong and solid team of 10 employees to assist more clients by being more available to offer more additional services. We would also like to successfully expand a line of budget friendly services to the Lawrence, Topeka, and Manhattan areas. Being able to market budget friendly services could be beneficial for our company and bring a different clientele for Lovestruck Event Planning by focusing on clients in college towns.

Congratulations!

We, at Lovestruck Event Planning, look forward for an opportunity to create a signature event for your special occasion in Kansas City and surrounding areas. Our innovative design concepts and medley of services are intended to provide clients with several options to help meet each need and want they desire for their momentous event from “Yes!” to “I Do!”

Our first initial consultation will be held in a private meeting room at ecafe in the new collaborative workspace building in Overland Park, Kansas. This location provides the warmth and inviting environment that allows us to discuss your special event while you enjoy a complimentary drink from the coffee shop next door.

During the first section of the meeting, we will openly discuss your dream vision for the event and any questions you may have. Prior to our consultation, you will receive an email with a preference form and questionnaire that will need to be filled out and returned by the initial consultation. We also encourage clients to create a vision board on Pinterest so we can better assist you.

Once we discuss the overall vision and needs of your event, we will review the planning packages and additional services that are available to help customize and accommodate to your specific event. This is a great time to ask any questions or concerns you may have as well.

At the end of the consultation, you will receive a resource packet with contact information and helpful handouts. These will include tips, questions for vendors, checklists, marriage license requirements, party service ideas, and more. Your packet is to help you determine if our coordinating services are a perfect fit for you and your event.

You will receive a proposal the following day with a custom quote pertaining to the information gathered at the consultation. We want your special day to be perfect, so we will hold your event date for 7 days so you have enough time to determine if Lovestruck Event Planning is the right fit.

I am an Emotional Event Experience Expert…

Earning a degree in psychology from Kansas State University has allowed me, Christine Brown, to better understand individual’s emotions, actions, and thought processes. When I think of an event planner or event coordinator, I feel that they do not only plan and organize an event, but they provide physical and emotional support as well; that is why I call myself an Emotional Event Experience Expert.

I have focused the last six years of my career to gather a greater understanding of people by working an environments that require experience and knowledge working with people in a creative and high intensity situations. This has allowed me to become a well-rounded event planner with the necessary tools to create signature events with the goal of exceeding client expectations every time.

Future Endeavors For Lovestruck Event Planning

Keeping up on popular trends in the wedding and event industry is vital to the growth of Lovestruck Event Planning. Becoming a Certified Wedding Planner and working on becoming a Master Certified Wedding Planner has allowed me the gain the proper knowledge and experience to create professional events.

Although we are a newly developed company, we have structured our company with strong organizational skills and solid educational success to provide the best event experience for clients. Our new company is also striving to become a member of a highly accredited wedding industry association and the Chamber of Commerce of Overland Park in the next two years.

In the next year, Lovestruck Event Planning will begin building a solid foundation in the Kansas City wedding and event industry by participating in local events and professional development seminars. Our five year goals include finding a professional office space with allocated space for showroom. We would also like to expand our services by focusing on additional emphasis on potential wedding design packages.

Ten years down the road, we would love to have a strong and solid team of 10 employees to assist more clients by being more available to offer more additional services. We would also like to successfully expand our services to the Lawrence, Topeka, and Manhattan areas as well.
