Vendors Wanted!

April 15th, 2011
Green Music 2010

Green Music Fest 2010

I have to give a little plug here for the two street fairs that I’m the Vendor Coordinator for this summer:  Wicker Park Fest and Green Music Fest.   Both are in the Bucktown/Wicker Park area of Chicago, and both should attract good crowds this year.

Both festivals have discounts for non-profit vendors, and Green Music has discounts for certified green vendors.  Applications are being accepted right now.  If you’re interested, don’t delay, as these are popular summer festivals.  Green Music Fest is June 25 and 26, and Wicker Park is July 23 and 24.

I hope I’ll get to work with a lot of the creative, crafty types who populate this great city of ours.  Get your application in, and I’ll be in touch.

Vendors I Know: Rickshaw Rick

Do you want something a little different for your next celebration?  Try hiring a bicycle rickshaw to take you from place to place.  Having a wedding at church and the reception down the road?  You could have unusual and memorable transportation.

Rick Carter of Rickshaw Rick provides a service that is, I think, unique.  He has several styles of bicycle rickshaw and a number of drivers, so he can accommodate large or small parties.  There are covered cabs and open ones; colorful ones and wicker ones.  And they are all powered exclusively by pedal power.  Now, there’s an eco-friendly option to consider for your next party!

Season’s Gratitudes

December 26th, 2010

In this season of many blessings, I would like to take note of a few things I am grateful for.

I am grateful to be able to make my living helping people and doing things that I love.

I am grateful for the other event and wedding professionals I am lucky enough to work with.  There are some terrific people in this business!

And, most of all, I am grateful for all my wonderful clients who share their special occasions with me and trust me to make sure their weddings and family parties are as wonderful as they expect them to be.

Thank you to all of you!  All the best in 2011.

It’s Not All Weddings

November 30th, 2010

I know I focus a lot on the weddings I work on in this blog.  That’s because I like weddings and I do a lot of them.  But I do other things, too.  If you’re looking for party help for a bar or bat mitzvah, anniversary party, birthday party, holiday party, or any other kind of celebration, please feel free to get in touch with me.
