It's been really hard establishing myself as a professional event planner in the Chicagoland area. I had so much experience planning weddings in the Bahamas and it all came so easy that stumbling around here trying to find clients to trust me has been a real blow to the ego. Mix in with it that most people would rather go on line to plan their vacation then call a travel agent and what you get in me trying to figure out how I can pay bills and give my son a good life. Everyday is different, today is a good day, a couple hired me to plan their wedding for October. I'm beyond grateful that they gave me a chance, I really need this not only for the money but I need to start building my repuation and portfolio here in Illinois. I am really excited. I need to blow this out the water!! I will provide pictures....
In the meantime I have been working on the first wedding I booked here in Chicago. The couple is getting married next year July and they're adorable. They just invited me to their engagement party.
So booked a wedding this morning, went to Walmart went to the post office and the library and took Maurice to track and field camp all before 10 this morning. Sitting here at my desk myour vacation. Talked to my boyfriend (yes single mom has a boyfriend) listened to him complain how i'm not showing him enough attention. Then listened to him tell me how happy he is that I booked a wedding and he'll help me with anything I need. He's a good guy! His birthday is next week and I have a surprise planned for him. Should be a blast.
