"Sirena, I did what you suggested and volunteered to help at a event. It worked and now the planner wants me to be in charge of getting the vendors for her event! I am so excited. I also have a chance to help out with a big wedding in October. Your help has been so wonderful! I want this and am going after it!"

We all need mentors and professionals in the field that don't forget where they came from and what they had to do to achieve the success they now enjoy. I appreciate your friendly approach and look forward to reading many more newsletters."

I have always known that I want a career not just a job; and after reading your entire website (which is the only website I can honestly say I have read every single word) I now know that event management is for me.

"I just wanted to send a quick thank you for all of your time and effort you put into all of these newsletters. They really are such a huge help. As a senior high school student headed to university and hoping to get into the event planning industry, your newsletters keep me motivated to stay on the right track and not back out, especially since there isn't much (useful) information out there about the industry. I would definitely recommend your website to a friend."

"I love your website and in the last couple months I have kept coming back. I have always loved the idea of being an event coordinator, just never took the time to learn more about it until I came across your website. I have read over and over again what it is that a planner does and the skills and attributes you need to have for a job like this. I am always excited to open every newsletter you send, and always read your site to see if you've written more great information. Please keep it coming!"
