Interview Transcript
My name is Chrissie Sue and I own an event planning and design firm called Events by Chrissie Sue. I've actually been in the industry for over 20 years. I started back in 2003 when I was just getting out of college and I haven't stopped since. I have executed over 500 events. The events have ranged from intimate affairs to very large grand events.
I would say the most unique element of myself is my personality. A lot of times I've been considered a social chameleon because I have the ability to be very direct when I need to be, but also very understanding and playful and unique in terms of my styling, but also understanding and a great listener. Those are qualities that are very important when you are hiring someone that you're going to be working with day in and day out.
An event is something that you'll be planning for a number of months, sometimes a number of years. If you have someone you're comfortable with, their personality will help you discover what you want for your own event because every event is different. And so having a great listener and someone with a great personality that you're going to be working with day in and day is super important.
I would say the best part of being a wedding planner is to create a different event with each specific client. The milestone events, whether they be personal or from a corporate perspective, every day is different. People may opt to not go with an event company. What happens is is that they're overwhelmed and then the process of the milestone event ends up becoming lost and they don't have the opportunity to really enjoy the process as much as they would because they're so busy working through the logistics.
Hiring someone professional like a planner, it would allow for those things to be streamlined, have someone that is working as your advocate. My job is to make sure that not only our clients enjoy the process, but they can be physically present while they're there. These types of events, they can only happen once. So if you miss that opportunity because you're so stressed, it really takes away from the entire experience. If you are uncertain about hiring a professional event planner, consider us events by Chrissie Sue. We would love the opportunity to work with you.
