call me crazy

With retail skimming the ground these days who in their right mind decides to launch another business? Me. Call me crazy, but after completing the most ambitious wedding I have ever helped put together I said to myself "I can do this, I can really do this." So I placed an ad in Savannah Weddings Magazine and my OH-so talented graphic designer (and shop girl) Meg Sutton is madly putting together a website for my new venture. Event design (& planning). I will share the website once it is up and running but in the meantime if you know anyone getting hitched that might appreciate my services send them my way. Meg is also available for graphic design services, custom invitations, save the dates, programs, etc.

Wow, so creative! Your storyboard translates exactly to the photo album. And judging by your latest board, the upcoming wedding should be fantastic.

I have been watching your career from afar and I think you are going to be incredibly successful with your new wedding planner services

I also predict once you get your online shopping feature set up your retail business will continue to flourish too.

Someday during my travels, I plan to stop by and meet you in-person From a kindred spirit Best Wishes and Much Success

Hello my name is Jory, I saw your ad in Savannah Weddings and thought how cute it was so I googled you and it led me here. I think you might be what I'm looking for. I recently got engaged and we have set a date of 10/10/10! We live in Atlanta but would love to get married in Savannah!

Very cool!

Krista Beth said...

Liz you ARE crazy! This is going to be SUCH a learning curve for you! I mean you're going to need to cultivate some sense of style to get this thing off the ground. But that's why I am here to help! In fact, I know someone who did the most amazing wedding for a cute couple (Adam & Halligan)! It was so fun and stylish. She clearly has a knack for this sort of thing. You should talk to her for pointers. Let me know if I can introduce you two! ;)

(good for you I say go for it!)

Clare Helene said...

This is AMAZING!!!! I am SO excited for you and I wish I could go to every event you plan because they will be magical! xo Clare

Amy Nieto said...

Oh Liz. You are a fantastic person, I am so glad I got to meet you in my past Savannah life and that you remain an inspiration. Whenever that fateful day arrives I hope you are still in business so you can plan my little beach wedding! (Would you offer services for finding young attractive and funny men? So that I can marry them and hire you? Let me know when you offer that!)

This is a great idea for you, you have got a great eye for a mixture between charming and tasteful!
