We met at a photo shoot and they introduced me as a Planner. The Bride was a local TV Personality and her Wedding started at 100 guests and ended up 250 guests. I was a nervous wreck from start to finish. While working with her, at one point I overheard a phone conversation to her mother….”Yes Mom, Rhonda is very prompt and detail-oriented. I’m so glad because I just don’t have time to plan a Wedding right now. Just been given another show to do….one more thing on my list.” She was pleased with everything! Hi Mr. Preston,

I'm also doing corporate events, so my first client was a son of one of my corporate clients. And like most planners say, one event breeds another. And since we are on the internet, and now I'm actively on Facebook, it's easier to get the right traffic. And oh, by the way, have purchased the book. Love it. Great advice.

I was taking a course in advanced floral design and I made a beautiful topiary out of Esperanza roses. I sent a prayer asking who could really use the topiary to brighten his/her day and the director of my daughter's school popped in my head. When I gave it to her, she was so touched and really appreciative. She ordered four more arrangements the next day. I received my first check payable to my business shortly thereafter and I will cherish it forever. Thank you, Preston, for allowing us to remember moments like these...
