Candy Tables - how much and what do I really need

I'm so excited, we've been asked to help out Sanger Foundation with their next fundraiser.  They are a great foundation where all of the proceeds that come in go back to those the foundation assists to pay their medical bills.  Check out Sanger Foundations Event here.

We still have our famous bridal show coming up & Spring Group planning sessions are getting under way. This year is super fun already.

This year is going so fast already it's hard to believe that today's my birthday already.  Headed for a special lunch with some of my friends to our favorite Mexican restaurant.  How fun!

Then I'm heading home to play with my boxer dog, Maxine and watch TV. Its so much fun to be able to play with her.  Then she curls up in my lap and falls asleep.

P.S.   The other day I had a meeting with a new client and they asked what the difference is between a couple photographers.  One of the photographers although very inexpensive is straight out of school.  The other photographer has been shooting exclusively weddings for the last 20 years. To me it's obvious.  So let me help to explain.  Your fresh out of school artist doesn't have the experience under his belt to really give you the money shot that every bride craves.  Although if your only concern is the pocket book.  You'll get what you pay for. 

Then there's the photographer that has 20 yrs of experience; only shoots weddings and a total expert in his field...but you say; he's three times the price. Again... I say you get what you pay for.  He's going to have the knowledge of what angles can make your face look thinner, give the soft light to make the picture look soft and romantic, knows lighting, knows angles and knows how to do it to minimize the costs of editing just by his picture taking knowledge.  He not only can get a money shot but several. 
Just like the vast amount of knowledge that I've gained over the last 21 years, this photographer will be invaluable to you.  Would you like more tips like this? Be sure to follow our facebook page


P.S.S.
Smart brides, just like you, are raving about our group planning classes.  I just loved being able to assist Ashley, one of our latest brides to attend last years fall session in a test group.  Following is what she said about classes at the end of the 3rd class in the session. "OMG, I had no idea that there was so much that I needed to know about planning my wedding and didn't have a clue about.  I knew I needed help and have been following you on Facebook forever. What I loved the most is that in 12 hours and over the course of several weeks, you had broke it down into easy to swallow sections to keep it from being overwhelming.  Being able to do the work on my own, but being able to ask questions and get the guidance when and where I needed it was truly priceless."

Ashley was fun and totally fabulous to work with. I can't wait to see pic's from her late spring wedding. The coral and ivory color combo with crystals is going to pop in the Littleton rose garden she's chosen for her wedding.

This week we're having a contest. The first bride each work day this week to give us the color scheme details of their wedding on our facebook page receives a complimentary 30 minute phone call with Jennifer to get the answers to any questions you have and need help with.  A Memory Lane facebook page.

“Huge stress reliever with emphasis on fun and more sparkle for our dollar."

"Before we were referred to Jennifer Lane, A Memory Lane Event, as the bride, I was stressed, not knowing who the quality vendors were and how to find them. I didn''t realize that we knew what we wanted... I had spent so many hours on the internet, searching and looking at so many pictures, products and choices that I was overwhelmed, confused and not finding the impressive sparkle I was envisioning. Growing up in Denver and now living outside the state I felt that we weren''t going to be able to pull our wedding together in time or find the right person who could really understand what we were envisioning and could help us. We had two phone conversations with Jennifer, paid the deposit and in a few days we had a fabulous overview with several options and the pricing for every element for our wedding. Every option to choose from was what we were looking for and included several items that we hadn''t thought of. Jennifer really listened and completely understood our personality and style. Together we all went through the overview and made selections to keep us in budget. She then negotiated on our behalf with all of the vendors we had selected from her suggestions to help stretch my dollars giving us more bang for my buck. When we had a chance to come to town we spent a few hours with my parents and our entourage for tastings and in person location viewing. I had picked them before meeting Jennifer but had only seen them in pictures. And we got to meet most of the vendors all in the same day. It was a long but really fun day and at the end of it, I was so happy and relaxed. Everything was better than we had expected. We can hardly wait for our wedding day. On our second trip to Denver, we were able to see our custom choices and selections in person and were delighted with the quality and just how much Jennifer was able to capture our style just by spending some time with us on the phone and in one day. This has been a fabulous stress free and fun experience. ”   —Kristen Doukakis and Franco Martinez

"The Top 5 Candy Buffet Questions & the Answers"

Q: What size scoop should I use?
A: Keep in mind, scoops will scoop. BUT, will the scoop fit inside the containers opening? Smaller scoops are great for small containers / bowls. Small scoops will also aid in "quantity control" A 2 ounce scoop is equal to 4 Tablespoons or 1/4 cup.  

Q: How much candy should I purchase?
A: I wish there was a hard fast rule to this question. Some say 1/4 LB per guest, others say 1/2 LB per guest. But it's all about the way your candy looks. Plan by how you want the display to look, not how many guests are coming. Having enough candy is crucial in making your candy buffet look good.  
A tip: "Take your candy buffet bags/containers that the guests will be taking home with them to your local grocery store and fill them the types of candy you will have for your event. Then weigh them. Multiply by how many guests, then you will get an idea of the pounds."  
Tip: Add something salty or sour: Yummy! Salt or sour GOES with SWEET. Your candy buffet doesn't have to be all candy. Add potato chips or pretzels maybe some sour balls. Fresh fruit and cheese work great as well. 

Q: Do I need a scoop for every container?
A: Rule of thumb: If the candy is wrapped, then no scoop needed. Anything you DO NOT want hands or fingers to touch, use a scoop or tongs.

Bridal Shows - difference between the big shows & Elite Shows


All brides know that there are bridal shows and brides in droves attend them, but not all brides realize what the differences between the big shows and smaller Elite shows are.  Here’s what the smart brides know and why they attend the Elite shows far more than the bigger shows.
A Memory Lane Event, Denver CO Elite Bridal Shows


First let’s start with big shows.  Highly visible, everyone knows about them, several vendors from each category all of which are killing themselves to attract your attention.  There’s no real investigation as to if the vendor sending in their money and application to be included in the show is an outstanding vendor or wedding professional.  DIY brides are there to see what the newest trends are so they can try to re-produce them on tighter budgets.  It’s a big show and brides flock because they’ve heard about on the TV, radio and it’s been in the paper, shows up in on line searches etc. 

Then upon arriving the excited bride wanting to get the needed materials to help her plan her wedding … is thrown into this sea of hundreds of other brides and their group of friends and mothers with 20-50 vendors giving her a rushed sales pitch and sending her out the door, head spinning, overwhelmed and with a bag of paper materials.  The bride typically feels like she and the other brides somehow been turned into cattle at a cattle call and now has no idea what to do next.  She didn’t get to spend any time talking to any of the vendors, just given info, talked to not talked with and then pushed down the aisle to the next table.
Ashley Lane, Jennifer Lane & Sharon Douglass

Then let’s discuss what an Elite bridal show means.  The biggest difference, it’s far more laid back, instead of hundreds of brides, at most there’s 100-150.  There’s 1 wedding professional and their company per category, the vendors and wedding professionals have been in some cases hand-picked to be there and if not hand-picked then there’s been an extensive interview process to ensure that they are of great quality and deliver again and again exactly what they’ve promised and in most cases exceeded their clients expectations.  Additionally an Elite Show usually includes categories that come before your wedding day, your actual wedding day and after your wedding day and each and every wedding professional is one of a kind, completely unique in their field, meaning that they offer not just the regular wedding services but truly customize their services to their clients and the needs of that client.  So it’s your wishes, your vision and you that gets the attention all the way through the planning and on your wedding day.  You get to spend the time to get to know the wedding professionals and the wedding professionals get to know you. 

What exactly does that mean?  It means that you’ll get to actually sit down with your glass of champagne and talk to the owner of the rental company that carries the glasses you’ve been dying to have at your engagement party.  You can talk to the owner of the salon that specializes in bachelorette parties.  You get to really discuss with the honeymoon professional your trip and which bells and whistles you want.  You can spend time to really meet and see the quality in the photographer’s pictures.  You’ll get to see a fashion show in 95% of the cases by a designer who custom designs wedding gowns.  You can discuss your wedding gown vision with the professional who would actually make your gown to your measurements and to your vision. 

So in re-cap, there’s a few brides in comparison to the big shows and their guests in attendance verses the massive show.  If you’re a busy professional or student with very limited time, you can hire all of the professionals, including the high quality planner and coordinator to help you pull together all of the details.  You can spend a few hours and actually leave with a minimum of ½ your wedding professionals hired and feel really good about your decisions.  When you leave, you feel great, far less stress and still very excited about your wedding knowing that you’ve met the best of the best, high quality wedding professionals who consistently deliver on their promises and have your best interests in heart….and they’re working with you on your wedding to make your wedding day as you’ve envisioned.

Now that you know the difference, I’m sure that we’ll be seeing you at an Elite Bridal Show soon.  Regardless of if you attend a show hosted by us or another wedding professional, please remember to pre-register.  It’s the way that the host makes sure that there is plenty of champagne, appetizers and has the high quality wedding professionals for you to talk with who care about you.  Now you’re one of the smart brides too.

"The 4 C's of Carats"


The quality and value of diamonds are usually measured by the "4 C's" Color, Clarity, Carat weight, Cut.

Carat weight: The weight measurement used for diamond is called "carat". One carat = 200 milligrams. Diamonds are sold by weight not by size.
Color: Refers to the body color of the diamond. The absence of color is most valuable.
Clarity: Refers to the purity of the diamond crystal. Most diamonds will have some inclusions and irregularities in their crystal structure.
Cut:Sometimes called "Make" refers to the 1 Proportions 2 Symmetry 3 Polish Color and Clarity are graded, based on standards and systems widely accepted by the diamond and jewelry trade.  Evaluation of Cut is much more complex. There is no widely recognized cut grading system that can be used to objectively compare diamonds for quality of cut

Top 5 Questions & Answers You Must Know about a Wedding Professional Before you Book Them



Weddings by A Memory Lane Event



Hiring the right team for you is crucial to planning your dream wedding…and it can also be rather stressful.

Where do you go for advice?  How do you know who to trust?  Where exactly do you find the right match?  How do you know if they are the right match for you? 

The first thing you should be aware of is this is not an easy task and it’s totally normal for couples to feel overwhelmed, frustrated or confused.  You’ve got at least ten people handing you advice from what seems like the second that you announce your engagement.  You’re not sure if its even the right advice for you.  Your friends and family are offering their two cents and pretty soon you don’t know if your wedding is reflecting you and your fiancé or someone’s dream for you. 

After all it’s not like you plan a wedding every day!  This is all probably brand new to you, so be patient with yourself.  Stay true to yourself and follow the following guideline to make sure that you pick the right wedding professionals for you.

A few tips to finding the right wedding professionals for you…


  • Do Your Homework.  You’ll get much more out of a meeting or conversation with a wedding professional if you do a little background homework first. 
Denver Wedding Coordinators, Denver Wedding Planners, Colorado Events by Jennifer Lane A Memory Lane Event
Engagements with A Memory Lane Event

What exactly does that mean?  Spend some time on the internet check out their website.  Chose the vendors that speak to you through their website.  You’ll look at some websites and immediately you’ll get the gut feeling to back out.  If that happens, do. Once you find 2 or 3 that you like; then schedule appointments with them.  You can talk to friends who’ve recently been married, just remember that they may have had a different vision or have a different personality than you and what’s right for them, may not be right for you.  Likewise, you’d be surprised how many DIY brides feel that they have a wedding planning degree after they plan their own wedding.  Planning their own wedding, doesn’t mean that they can plan someone else’s.  Many times they know what they want…they don’t really pay attention to what you want or envision.  If you’re talking to a wedding vendor like that…Run!

Find out the average prices in your area and what services are available. You can actually do that, right here on our blog.  Get an idea of what you like and don’t like.  Wedding websites and chat rooms can be a great resource.  This way when you meet with a wedding professional you’ll be able to ask better questions and have an idea of what to look out for.

Jennifer Lane A Memory Lane Event
  • Meet With Them.  An in person meeting is the best way to interview a potential wedding vendor.  It lets you get the full experience of their personality, style and professionalism.  If that’s not possible, have a phone conversation.  Be sure to spend some time with them in person or on the phone.  Be careful if they speak over you, force their opinion or don’t take into account your opinion.  If your main focus is cost, the vendor may not even price out your vision, because they already know that it’s a budget buster for you or that you’re not their focus.  If a wedding professional brushes you off or behaves like you’re not important or that your opinions don’t matter.  Then they aren’t the professional for you.

  • Ask Questions.  There are no stupid questions!  And you may notice that several of your questions are answered when you read the wedding professionals website.  Again, it’s important to read or skim through a professionals’ website prior to meeting with them as part of your homework.  Make sure you get clear, specific answers to your questions.  If you aren't sure what something means, ask them to clarify.  Keep asking questions until you completely understand. 

If a wedding vendor has a problem with you asking questions, they probably aren’t the one for you.  The best wedding professionals are patient, understanding and take the time to help you make the best choices for your wedding.

Here are 7 Must Ask Questions to ask ALL your potential wedding professionals before booking:

Weddings with A Memory Lane Event
extremely important question.  Ideally, your wedding professional should have ample experience specifically with weddings.  Not only will they be more skilled in their craft, this also makes them a valuable source of information and ensures that your wedding day goes smoothly.  Did they actually attend school or the school of hard knocks.  When you meet with them are their certificates available for you to see.  Are they associated with any associations? 

2.       How much do you cost?  Price is often relative, especially when you factor in experience, reputation and expert skill.  Generally, the most talented professionals have a higher price tag because they are worth it.  Similarly, the least expensive company or vendor … well, let’s just say, your wedding is totally one of those experiences and days you can’t re-do and you do get what you pay for.  The super cost conscious couple, although they may stay in budget, may not be thrilled with the results on or after their wedding day.

3.      How much is the deposit?  Are there any additional fees?  Taxes, service charges and travel fees can add up quickly.  Make sure you understand exactly what is included and if there are any other fees you’ll have to pay.  This should be clearly defined in your contract. 

4.       What specifically is included in that cost?  When you factor in experience, reputation and expert skill and then factor in the variety of wedding packages offered by different professionals, it’s likely that you won’t be able to compare one vendor exactly to the next without doing a little figuring.  The lowest cost isn’t necessarily the best deal; some higher quotes include services that you have to pay extra for in other packages.  Make sure you take these points into account when making your decision. 
5.       What happens if I cancel?  What happens if you cancel?   Find out if your deposit is refundable under any conditions.  Does the wedding professional have a back-up plan if something happens to them or if they have staff trained to take their place if the main professional of the company becomes sick?
 
Colorado weddings with A Memory Lane Event
6.       Do you use a contract?   If the answer is No, RUN!  Seriously.  No contract.  No good for you or them.  A contract is designed to protect both you and the wedding professional.  Don’t settle for a verbal agreement that won’t hold up in court.  

7.       Do you carry liability insurance?  The answer you’re looking for here is Yes.  This protects you in case an unfortunate accident should occur on your wedding day.  It’s also a sign that this is a reputable business, since most “fly by night” operations don’t invest in insurance.

  • Listen.  Don’t just hear the words the wedding professional says, but really listen.  Watch the vendor’s body language.  Are they confident and comfortable with their response?  Do they look and sound nervous?  Do you get a “funny feeling” about them?  Take all the sights, sounds and feelings into account along with their responses; if your gut tells you something isn’t right, it probably isn’t.  This is the read between the lines listening as well as the actual listening with your ears.

  • Check References.  Portfolios are hand-picked to show off the best work, but they may not represent the “average” wedding performance.  Videos are edited for the optimum presentation.  But real referrals from satisfied clients are hard to fake.  In addition, when you meet with wedding professionals that work with a wide range of budgets and they actually show you pictures of them, then you can really get a sense of (1) what your budget may include (2) what their work quality is really like and (3) pay attention to not just the testimonials on their website but the testimonials on Google, Yelp and other such sites.  Sometimes, vendors work with a clientele that doesn’t leave feed back then calling references is a must.

Call up both client and professional references.  Ask questions and use those listening skills.  Even if they give a rave review, you’ll often be able to “read between the lines” if there were any issues or problems.  Check the Better Business Bureau for any outstanding complaints against the business.  Weigh all of this information into your choices.
