 We work within your budget to deliver the results you desire! |
What are your qualifications? Have you been professionally trained?
I have been educated and trained in the business of weddings and events by the Association of Bridal Consultants, a world-renowned association located in New Milford, Connecticut. I also have a degree from Brooks College in Interior Design, where I graduated with Honors. I then apprenticed with Interior Network, Inc. in Redlands, California. With more than 10 years of combined experience with Weddings, Business and Private Event Planning as well as Residential and Commercial Interior Design, I am At Your Service!
How was At Your Service Events, Weddings & Interior Design conceived?
For as long as I can remember I have always had a love of decorating, design and event planning. It was not unusual for me to regularly assist family members, friends and others in planning a variety of home improvement projects or social events. My first job was with the State of California in Planning and Construction as a Student Assistant where I was exposed to the construction and bid process; that experience lead me to pursuit a degree in design. Over the next years I honed my skills by working as an Administrative Assistant, Designer and in Public Relations for a number of private and public entities.
When my husband and I were planning to get married, we hired a wedding planner who did not deliver. Needless to say, our experience was memorable, but not for the right reasons. I began to think about how I could help other couples avoid the same pitfalls. So when I started to plan what I what might do after retirement from state service, I did some research. I completed the Professional Development Courses at Cal State San Bernardino featuring Association of Bridal Consultants Curriculum and At Your Service Events, Weddings & Interior Design was born. As a Mother of 4 I have been on both sides of the birthday party planning process and will use all of my experience and knowledge to ensure that you, your child and their guests have a fun filled party experience.
