2011 Pearls Events Team

If you've been following this blog for over a year, you may recognize the faces above...this is our core team at Pearls Events - from left to right you have me (Aletha), Kate, Mary & Amy. We are getting geared up for the 2011 season, and just had new head shots taken by Mindy Leigh at our kickoff meeting last week.

Who you may not recognize are our 2011 interns! I am thrilled to introduce the 2011 interns, who will serve as event assistants throughout the season. They are, from left to right - Jessica, Lauryn, Libby & Stephanie - all wonderful woman from various West Michigan colleges learning to ins & outs of event planning and running a small business.

We are as busy as ever in the office and looking forward to sharing our events with you!

Aletha's Ramblings | Summer Update

Summer is in full swing in the Pearls Events office, and we are getting ready for our first event next weekend. We are so excited to see a graduation party come together with amazing La Tavola linens, floral centerpieces from Mulick Floral, perfect rental items from Events by I. Candy, and a few stationery items from Syd Design.

Our 2011 interns have been hired, we have our official head shot photo session scheduled with Mindy Leigh Photography, and final appointments with our clients have begun. It's crazy how another season has come and gone, and we're getting ready to start our FIFTH wedding season with our stellar clients.

My personal life is settling down with Eames, and I almost feel 100% back to normal, but now with a baby in my life. The cutest baby in the entire world, if I do say so myself, although I realize I have to say that about my own children.

I will be introducing you to all of our interns in the coming weeks, and the bonus is that one of our 2011 interns, Stephanie, is currently plotting her debut to this blog. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for her updates.
