Determine event goals and objectives. This is especially important with client events and sales meetings, as it will help you keep on track. Identify possible dates for the meeting. No matter what date you pick, someone will complain it doesn’t work. Thinking ahead and checking with others on possible conflicts can limit the inconvenience for all parties. Prepare a preliminary agenda and guest list to help set the criteria for the venue. Prepare a preliminary budget. Unless you manage your corporate event closely, the budget can grow unexpectedly. Send meeting requirements to selected sites with requests for written proposals. If you are signing a contract, get a written proposal so there won’t be surprises. Review site proposals from responding suppliers, select potential sites and begin site negotiations with potential venues. Whenever possible, speak to companies that have hosted similar events at the venue. Conduct site visits as required. This is important when you’re using the facility for the first time. Determine security needs at the location. Negotiate hotel rates and blocks. If you use hotel meeting rooms for the event, you could get a significant discount on sleeping rooms. Determine preliminary food and beverage requirements and negotiate menus and prices. It’s all negotiable, but keep in mind that the more you customize the deal, the more you’ll have to manage. Establish a theme and preliminary graphics for the logo, program, etc. Take advantage of this opportunity to enhance your corporate brand. Consider hiring a printer for invitations, programs and agendas. Add any deadlines and other requirements to the timetable.
As the event gets closer Form committees as required. The larger the event, the more work to be done. Make life easier by getting others involved. Organizations that have regular events should consider forming standing committees that meet regularly. Develop a promotional strategy. Do some PR for the event. Calendar notices, press releases and interviews may all be appropriate, depending on the size of your event.

Corporate Meetings & Conventions For nonprofit or charity events, line up sponsors. Prepare and mail letters to potential event sponsors requesting consideration in their budgets. Identify needs for outside consultants, specifying requirements. If you are charging admission to the event, establish registration fee structures and policies, and be sure to include clear cancellation policies. Invite and confirm key speakers. This includes people within your organization. Don’t assume anyone is automatically available. Obtain audiovisual needs from speakers and presenters, and order all necessary equipment. Review, update and confirm final event budget. Identify and communicate on-site responsibility areas for committees and volunteers. Set up training for volunteers and educate them about your expectations. Select and order speaker gifts and awards. Order special decorations for the event. Prepare and order the signs. This is another opportunity to build your brand. Arrange for travel and housing of all staff and VIPs.
epg
The day of the event Have a staff/volunteer meeting to review responsibilities, procedures and overlap areas such as registration. Taking 10 minutes for an informational and motivational meeting will save headaches later in the day. Confirm and monitor pickup of all rental equipment and supplies.
Immediately afterward Pack and inventory all material. Many of your collateral materials are reusable — and they’re a big investment. Do financial reconciliation. Gather the invoices and make sure you have been billed correctly and that you pay in a timely fashion. Watch expense reports, an area where a lot of costs can be hidden. Perform post-budget performance review. Were you on budget? Could you have saved money? Write and mail thank-you letters. Collect and organize data for final meeting reports. Get evaluations from staff, volunteers and consultants to determine what went right and what could be improved on so next time goes more smoothly.

Corporate Meetings & Conventions
Trends in meeting technology By Jonathan Rivers jrivers@scbiznews.com
T
echnology allows your business to express its creative, sophisticated and innovative side. It can also enhance the effectiveness of your message at your next meeting, conference or presentation. “Depending on what a company is trying to communicate to its clients or employees, technology is absolutely essential for communication,” said Jeff Richards, director of business development at Production Design Associates. The company, also known as PDA, produces events with an emphasis on audiovisual, lighting and other technical elements. “The drive for media content … computer-generated media, like digital video and audio, is what’s driving this need,” Richards said. Jennifer Cherock, vice president of the event planning company Trio Solutions, said technology is crucial in any business presentation. “It can really make or break the event,” she said. However, it doesn’t have to break the budget. In the wake of the national economy, many businesses have sought budget-friendly alternatives to traditional meetings and conferences. And what they’ve discovered is that budget-friendly doesn’t mean low-quality. “What you can do varies widely with what you want to spend,” Richards said. Once a company establishes a technology budget for their meeting, organizers will want to consider the size of the audience and the venue. Richards said this step is crucial for audio placement and making sure the speaker can be heard by all members of the audience. The configuration will also vary according to the number of guest speakers, whether they’ll be speaking simultaneously, and where podiums will need to be positioned and equipped with wireless microphones.

Next, planners will want to consider the visual and lighting elements of the meeting. “Today, we’re seeing a convergence in video and lighting brought
12 2010 Event Planning Guide | www.charlestonbusiness.com
on by LED technology and the fact that it’s getting cheap and fast,” Richards said. “Light functions as video and vice versa.” LED, which stands for light-
emitting diode, is more efficient and uses less energy than traditional lighting. It is also versatile. Mitchell Crosby, owner of JMC Charleston, adds that LED has broadened the color spectrum, making it possible to manipulate light in new ways. Some companies have LED wired to a computer and are able to cast the company logo on backdrops and in meeting rooms. “What many of these businesses have found is that you can’t completely replace face-to-face meetings,” Crosby said. To solve this problem, many companies are relying on technology to allow outof-towners to attend the meeting without travel expenses, via teleconference. “We’re also seeing a shift away from screens towards monitors in meeting rooms,” Crosby said. Because of the media-driven implications of today’s technology, companies are finding it more appealing to use the crisper, higher quality pictures of digital monitors.” Producers are even adorning video monitors with molding that complements more traditional rooms and gives them a harmonious look. Richards said because of today’s budget-driven approach, most companies are aiming to keep meetings simple and free from excesses. “We’re seeing in other markets, a shift to high definition presentation in both video and audio, which is a whole different level of equipment,” says Richards. “In two years, meetings will look completely different.” Technology has also rewritten the rules of meeting etiquette. Stephen Parker, director of catering operations at Francis Marion Hotel, said business guests want Internet access throughout a facility. This drive for Internet access has increased due to Twitter “backchannel” discussions and the fact that using personal digital assistants and computers is no longer considered improper. epg

Avoid too much sugar and too much spice
Easy does it Cru Catering offers culinary experts who assist in creating perfect foods for any occasion. “Many business men and women use these meetings as a networking tool, often engaging in conversation,” said Jenny Early, Cru’s catering director. She suggests planners avoid heavy sauces, large pieces and foods that crumble. Guests prefer food that is easy to handle. People don’t want to eat food that gets all over their face, gets stuck in their teeth, or drips on their shirts. Leave the

Fred Neuville, executive chef at Fat Hen Catering, caters events ranging from six to 1,500 guests. Whenever possible, Neuville uses ingredients grown in his garden and from local farms and suppliers. When planning a breakfast, he avoids foods like doughnuts and Danishes. “They give a sugar fix and then bottom out,” he said. Bottoming out mid-way through a lengthy powerpoint presentation is embarrassing for the speaker and the sleeper. Pre-processed foods contain massive amounts of sodium and can cause bloating. Heavily spiced foods can lead to heat burn, indigestion and irritate ulcers so these are never good

Corporate Meetings & Conventions choices when feeding a group.
Heavy foods = heavy eyelids Duvall Catering and Event Design has catered more than 12,000 events in 30 years. CEO Steve Wenger says, “The heavy ‘meat and potatoes’ lunch will always slow things down and should be avoided.” Instead, he suggests lighter, satisfying foods for lunch like salads with side additions of nuts, dried cherries, grilled salmon or chicken.
Timing is everything Grab-and-go is good idea when attendees are rushed. “Some guests may have spent the early morning hours traveling in a car, arriving just in the nick of time,” Early said. She recommends serving something easy to pick up so people can get seated and organized. The mid-afternoon break is an opportunity to provide light, simple snacks. “This break is normally the time that your guests can slip out and take a few phone calls or attend to any personal matters,” Ear-
ly said. A time-consuming snack will eat into their personal time, so she suggests pre-wrapped snacks, house made trail mix or granola bars.
Sample menu Provided by Cru Catering
BREAKFAST
Have fun with your food
Assorted whole fruit Miniature muffins Individual yogurt with house made granola Pre-assembled egg and sausage croissants cut in half Mini quiche or frittata
“Fat Hen believes that your imagination is your only limitation,” Neuville said. Foods with a local flare often give planners a chance to incorporate themes and creativity, which Neuville believes keeps people interested. And, guests will consider the food an event as opposed to the “same old, same old.” Making guests feel special begins with making the food special. Instead of boring canned tuna sandwiches, Neuville serves fresh seared tuna sandwiches. Wenger frequently prepares themed lunches. A favorite is Asian with sushi and side dishes like noodle salad and stir-fry. Local fare in the Lowcountry is often a platform for popular themed events. But Early warned, “This must be done modestly as your guests may not be accustomed to your regional flavors.” epg

Corporate Meetings & Conventions
Face value By Allison Cooke Oliverius aoliverius@scbiznews.com
T
he economy has changed the meeting and event planning industry. Businesses have been focusing on reducing “nonessential” expenses, including national sales meetings, trade shows, staff retreats and the like. If a company did hold a major function, chances are it was scaled way back and involved budget-friendly videoconferencing. In addition, the event was probably planned in-house by someone who would not generally be given such a task. The decision to cancel an event or hold a bare-bones meeting planned by inexperienced staff centers around saving money. But the end result might not be exactly what executives had in mind. “The upside to this downtrend is that people are really realizing
The importance of holding a well-planned corporate meeting in any economic climate
the value of not only doing the meetings — and doing them well — but also the importance of having that face-to-face time with their employees and customers,” said Christopher Greenslade, vice president of Patriot Meetings and Management. In fact, Forbes Insights recently conducted a study of 760 business executives, asking them if they preferred face-to-face or virtual meetings. Eight out of 10 respondents said the benefits of a face-to-face meeting outweigh the cost savings of a virtual meeting.
and motivate employees. Statistics show that employees will stay in a job with lower pay if they have a connection to the success of the organization, said Brian Wilson, owner of Adventure Teamworks LLC, which offers leadership and team development programs. “This connection generally comes from the company showing appreciation for their employees,” Wilson said. “Especially in today’s economic climate, employees don’t want to continue to feel the doom and gloom and appreciate the fact that their organization is taking a step to show their appreciation.”
For example, if you reserve a block of rooms at a hotel, the hotel will require that a certain percentage of those rooms be occupied or you will be charged a penalty. Requesting that the hotel lower the occupancy requirement from 95% to 70%, for example, can save a considerable amount of money. In addition, if you have a block of rooms, a hotel will often provide meeting space at a reduced rate, and in some cases for free. Many other hidden costs exist that industry professionals can weed through during contract negotiations to save your company money on the event. epg

A worthwhile investment Another perception has been that if a company holds a corporate event — and hires someone to plan it — it is acting frivolously. But Greenslade said corporate events are worthwhile investments because they excite customers, increase your company’s visibility
The use of an industry professional to plan an event can help ensure your company doesn’t leave any money on the table. Professionals know what questions to ask to obtain reduced rates on certain items, or even get fees waived.

Return on investment Ensuring a successful corporate development program By Allison Cooke Oliverius aoliverius@scbiznews.com
I
t’s been three years since employees at Lanxess Corp. completed a two-part team development program with Adventure Teamworks LLC, but the results are still crystal clear. “We are a very safety-conscious corporation,” said Samantha Gonzalez-Iorio, administrative assistant at the German-based company, which develops, manufactures and sells plastics, rubber, specialty chemicals and intermediates. “Our employees work with dangerous chemicals every day and we definitely need a strong team environment.” Their development program involved physical activities as well as critical thinking activities, all designed to open lines of communication, build relationships and trust, and motivate employees. “The proven return on investment is the five years we’ve gone without a recordable (injury),” Gonzalez-Iorio said.
Great expectations The key to obtaining results from any development program is to first establish goals and then explain them to participants. “On more than one occasion, the client has an idea in their mind about the goals they hope will be reached during the event, but they don’t share that with the participants, so right away there is a disconnect,” said Brian Wilson, founder of Adventure Teamworks. A third party can assist, by first surveying the company to determine areas that need work and
what type of program would work best. Typical needs include improving communication, working together efficiently and improving leadership skills. Typical programs include recreation, education, development and redirection.
Social Events
Follow through, follow up In addition to outlining your expectations, you must also provide employees with action plans to help them incorporate their new knowledge into their daily duties. It’s also important to follow up with employees to make sure the impact of their aha! moment doesn’t fade. “It may just mean talking with the participants — individually or as a group, even by phone or e-mail — or meeting again for another program,” Wilson said. “It’s like someone training from the Cooper River Bridge Run; if they run once before the race versus creating and following a training plan, the results will be dramatically different.” If participants embrace their new skills and knowledge, “then there should be an immediate return on investment,” he said. “If there was minimal buy-in, misunderstanding about what the program was for, and/or no follow through, then the ROI will take much longer or may not even occur.” A sure-fire way to ensure employee buy-in is for company leaders to participate in the program. “People believe in and follow those that lead by example,” Wilson said. “If a boss says, ‘We’re having a corporate retreat, but I can’t be there,’ the message that sends is loud and clear.” epg

Give your event plenty of thought from beginning to end The goal
guests to sleep. If you are having a served meal, ask your chef if he or she might be able to announce the menu. With so many chefs at celebrity status these days, hearing the menu is a nice touch.
What is the goal of your event? Be very clear about this and think, think, think about how to maximize the results. Is this a free-forall cocktail party, a seated event with a defined message, a product launch, or a client thank-you event? Regardless, you should be clear on your invitation if there is a schedule of events and timing. Some guests may not be able to stay the entire time. Others may wish to come late or leave early. Your guests will appreciate knowing the time obligation of the event.
Roaming entertainment If you want to entertain your guests, go beyond the band. Consider a carnival-themed event with snake charmers, magicians, fortune tellers and a caricaturist.
A drawing
The budget Be clear on any budget restrictions so you match up the right venue and menu with the number of guests who are attending. As you come up with that budget number, build in some flexibility, based on the number of guests invited. If fewer guests come, will you choose to spend the extra money in your budget? What if more people RSVP than you anticipated? Be prepared for those budget changes.
The date Check your local events calendar to compare your event date to other events happening in the community. See page 23 of this Event Planning Guide for a list of upcoming events in the region.
Invitations Do not skimp on invitations. An impressive invitation furthers your goal of thanking old clients or building relationships with new ones. Be clear on the invitation who you are inviting. An entire office? One person? One person and a guest? Your event space may be specific and only allow so many guests. What will you do when you send an invitation for one guest and that person sends a RSVP for six? Be sure to include a phone
number for the event planner or someone at your company who is knowledgeable about the event and can answer those RSVP-related questions. Everyone in your office should pour over the final list to make certain all aspects are correct. Check addresses and spellings of names and titles. Nothing is more embarrassing than sending an invitation to someone who has been gone for an extended period of time or your invitation doesn’t arrive because the person or business moved.
Event timing If your event is timed for just after work, consider what your guests may be doing after the party. The prospect of a cocktail party downtown after work becomes more attractive if it is within walking distance to good restaurants. The idea of asking guests to drive to an outlying area becomes much more attractive for a luncheon (top it off with iced tea in to-go cups for the drive back to the office).
Wow them in the beginning If possible, arrange parking for your guests. At some venues, you
20 2010 Event Planning Guide | www.charlestonbusiness.com
or your guests have to pay for parking. If this is the case, be sure to mention it on the invitation. If you are at a plant or warehouse, have golf carts driven by employees with name tags to transport your guests from the parking lot to the facility. Want to really make it unique? Bring in the bicycle taxis.
Wow them in the middle If possible, have your staff greet guests at the parking lot or at the front door. And, most importantly, greet them as they are leaving and thank them for coming. Your attention to detail will reinforce the quality of your work.
Great food … for the right time of day Great food does not have to mean expensive food. For a cocktail party, consider a cheese monger with dessert wines. For a luncheon or dinner, think about a first course of soup and salad or appetizer and salad. A demitasse cup of she-crab soup is a great meal starter. Or for a luncheon, gazpacho and a chilled seafood salad could be a great starter. Be carb-conscious. The last thing you want to do is put your
People love to win prizes. Work with a local travel agent on a fun trip that might be “on special” and then beef if up with take-a-ways for the trip. Give away three nights in Bermuda with new sunglasses from a locally owned boutique. Or give away tickets to concerts, festivals or sporting events.
Wow them in the end A beautifully wrapped gift thanking your guests for coming is an impressive touch that can be figured into the entire event budget. A bi-fold silver picture frame with an appropriate quote on one side and a “Thank you for coming” note on the other side, complete with wrapping, can cost as little as $20 per person. If gifts aren’t in your budget, consider mailing a note to acknowledge their attendance.
Wrap it up After the event, have a meeting to determine the high and low points of the event. What is the client follow up? Did you like the caterer/bar service/venue/entertainment and would you use them again? Be aggressive in your thoughts about when the next event should be and book it. epg Source: Mitchell Crosby, owner of JMC Charleston

onsidering the environment has become an important part of planning meetings, weddings and social events as more individuals and businesses recognize that eco-friendly event planning is cost-effective, practical and good public relations. Roper-Starch, a leading U.S. consumer marketing research and trends consulting company, recently reported that 80% of people consider themselves environmentalists. Blue Planet Green Events LLC is an event planning company that incorporates eco-friendly elements into group events including weddings, corporate functions and fundraisers. Toni Reale, owner and principal coordinator of the company, believes including green elements sets an example for guests. “You can have a stylish, unique and memorable affair while reducing your event’s ecological footprint,” she said.

Reale once planned a fundraising event with a lofty goal: Everything had to be reused, recycled or composted. “With a lot of careful planning and working with vendors, we were able to successfully host an amazing event for 400 people,” she said. “All that was left behind was one trash bag about one-third full of items to head to the landfill; mostly cigarette butts and packaging.”

With the help of eco-friendly planners, a green event is simple and rewarding
Cutting back on waste makes an impact when hosting groups of any size, and it just takes a little time and thought. “The first form of recycling is reusing,” said Mitchell Crosby, president of JMC Charleston, a fullscale event planning and design company. Event décor, including floral arrangements, usually end up in the trash once the event is over. Crosby said his clients often donate the flowers along with a handwritten note to a local retirement home or children’s hospital. “It’s a perfect combination of recycling and kindness,” he said. Reale said a typical American wedding can cost $40,000 and produce 500 pounds of trash. Experienced planners can help reduce waste and save money. Instead of printing 300 menus or programs that are thrown in the trash at the end of a meeting or dinner, Crosby is inspired to try another approach.
“I might have the chef theatrically announce the menu or put it on an overhead projector,” he said. More elements group planners can easily incorporate into events to make it ecological include hiring caterers that serve locally grown food and obtaining an accurate number of attendees to avoid wasting food. They can also provide bins for recyclable items and use china and glassware instead of paper or polystyrene. Crosby said he once had an ecoconscience client who wanted to entertain her group with Brunswick stew at a party on Crosby’s Dock, a popular venue on the banks of Folly Creek. For this casual Lowcountry affair, Crosby and his client served local seafood and produce, and the bowls and spoons were biodegradable. “These particular requests might not have been appropriate for a black tie event, but the theme

and mission really worked for this client,” Crosby said. Planning a conference or wedding often includes making travel and lodging arrangements. Reale believes there are many shades of green and has a bevy of suggestions for the super eco-conscience. “We can track all of the guests’ travel and arrange for carbon offsets,” she said. “Carbon offsets can be purchased through companies like NativeEnergy.com or CarbonFund.org. These companies provide tools to calculate carbon emissions and opportunities to offset them through supporting various carbon reducing.” Planners can also arrange for attendees to stay at a green hotel, (a complete list is provided by the Green Hotels Association, greenhotels.com). They can also choose a venue that is centrally located and ask attendees to consider carpooling.
When groups need technical production and installation services, Green Light, a division of Production Design Associates, provides affordable and environmentally friendly services for events. “Temporary lighting installations utilizing LED fixtures are a sensible option for events, especially in power sensitive downtown locations,” said Jeff Richards, PDA’s director of business development. Green Light also offers: biodiesel-fueled transportation with some battery-powered options; practices that minimize the carbon footprint related to an event; and recycling initiatives. PDA also upcycles used equipment and arranges for event recycling pickup. When planners incorporate local products and sustainable practices into events, the occasion can be meaningful and memorable. epg
GREEN TIPS
• Encourage PowerPoint presentations or online presentations instead of handouts. • Always print handouts doublesided. • Use reusable cups or mugs as promotion products that participants can take home.
Advertising and registration • Print advertisements on used paper or post-consumer recycled paper. • Use e-mail to communicate with attendees. Post information about your event on a website and offer online registration. • Inform participants that the event will have a green focus, and encourage them to be supportive and active.
At the event • Use dry-erase boards and chalkboards instead of flip chart paper.
Recycling and cleanup • Place recycling bins next to garbage bins so attendees can make one “stop and drop.” • Evaluate the types of waste your event will produce and see if you can substitute the waste that might go to the garbage with items that can be recycled or reused. epg Source: Jennifer Cherock, Trio Solutions Inc.,www.trio-solutions.com

Capturing the perfect image By Allison Cooke Oliverius aoliverius@scbiznews.com
T
he day you get married is a wonderful whirlwind of a day. There will be the moments you’ll remember forever, but there will be plenty of other moments that always escape the busy bride and groom. So, the importance of hiring a photographer and videographer to capture every moment should be very high on your list. In fact, it could take up 9-12% of your overall wedding budget. With such an investment, you need to be sure you know what kind of images you would like and that you choose a photographer and videographer that best suit your needs.
What’s your style? When your parents married, there was one type of photography: traditional. Most every shot was posed, which meant wedding
Photo/Travis Bell Photographers
albums of yesteryear contained picture-perfect images of the bride and groom with various family members, as well as the must-have shots of the new couple sharing a kiss, cutting the cake and heading off for the honeymoon. But today’s brides want that and a series of photos that tell the real story of the day. So, more brides are choosing photojournalistic photography, a style that stems from newspaper photojournalism.
“My father was a portrait photographer during the week, where each shot was staged,” said Travis Bell of Columbia, S.C.-based Travis Bell Photographers. “Each shot was, ‘Look this way. Act like you are doing this.’ The way my dad was trained is that each photo should be a portrait. But, I think, why do we need to pose each photo? Why not just document it?” Bell is referring to the trend that has taken hold of the wedding in-
dustry in the last few years. Former newspaper photojournalists, like Bell, approach wedding photography using the ethics learned in the newspaper business. Events are not staged, rather, they are photographed as they happen to capture real, raw reactions and emotion. “We decided, let’s be historians, rather than someone who directs the wedding,” said Bell, who has been photographing weddings since 1994, and has been around weddings since he was 14 years old. Traditional family photos will always be an important part of any wedding album, as are photos of the cake, dress, rings and more. And Bell and his photographers make sure these are captured for the happy couple and their families. But it’s the photojournalistic style Bell embodies that has allowed him to capture tender — and hilarious — moments as they happen that will forever be preserved as family history. To make the most of this style of

f yyou are plan planning an even event, using the latest an and greatest Web an and social tech media technologies is a great way to comsav time municate, save and attract more people to your shindig. Whether you’re pla planning a l wedding, a corporate luncheon or the opening of a new restaurant, here are seven fre free online resources you can tap in into to get your next event off the gr ground.
1. Facebook It’s tough these days to host an event and not include Fac Facebook as Usi their part of the planning. Using event feature, you can invit invite anyone to come, whether they’re oon Facebook or not, and it will keep ke track of RSVPs for you. You or attend-

ees can upload photos, videos or links related to the event and start a discussion on “The Wall,” a place where people can publicly post comments. One word of warning: Typically about a third of the people on Facebook who say they’ll attend actually attend. www.facebook.com
2. Twitter Set up an account just for your event. Then try to find the folks you’d like to invite to your event and “follow” them. Most people will “follow” you back, so you can then begin to “tweet” updates about the event and engage in dialogue with them about it. Additionally, set up a “hashtag,” which is a pound sign followed by a word that anyone can use in their tweets when talking about your event. While it’s taking place, people can “tweet” and follow “tweets” from everyone else at the event by using that hashtag. www.twitter.com
3. Evite This is an oldie but goodie. Almost everyone has received an Evite invitation at some point if they’re on e-mail. A digital version of the classic invitation you get in the mail, Evite lets you choose from a variety of designs or create your own, and then send to your invitation list via e-mail where they can RSVP and see who else is attending. But it does a lot more. In fact, Evite describes itself as “Your own personal party planner.” It provides an event checklist, budget estimator, drink calculator and other cool party planning tools. www.evite. com Alternatives include Eventbrite. com and Socializr.com.
4. The Knot Brides and grooms only for this one. What a fabulous tool that I wish had been around when I got married. Set up an account, and

or instant messaging services and will hook up with your iPhone, your calendar and even Gmail. You can share your tasks and lists with anyone you want, and even note your tasks’ geographic locations, so you can more efficiently plan outings. www.RemembertheMilk.com
7. Photo sharing sites 5. Evernote Evernote is a versatile service that bills itself as a way to “remember everything.” Who can argue with that? It lets you use your phone or computer to snap a photo of a cute tablecloth you saw, clip a Web page with party planning ideas, type in text notes from a meeting, etc., which are then searchable and tagable for easy retrieval. www. Evernote.com
6. Remember the milk Need an easy-to-use way to keep track of tasks for your event? This is the answer. Create lists for different types of tasks (promotion, execution, vendors), which you can tag by subject. It will also send you reminders via e-mail, cell phone
OK, so you’ve had the event, it went beautifully, and now everyone is rehashing the good times. Consider creating a group on Flickr, a photo social networking site or Picassa (a Google product), where everyone can upload photos of their grand time and download full versions of others’ photos to save or print. Or upload them to Facebook where all your friends can tag themselves! www.flickr.com So grab your smart phone, your laptop or your iPad and get to planning! epg

And we’re rolling “There are only two things that remain after your wedding,” said Bill Nixon of Coastal Videography. “Video and photos.” The two complement each other, he added, both offering the perfect documentation of your perfect day. “But, the advantage of a video is being able to hear what happened and see what happened at the same time. To see the movement and see the emotions as they happened,” Nixon said. For the last six years, Nixon has been shooting weddings, providing brides and grooms with a real cinemagraphic, movie-style DVD of their special day. This means that instead of a straight-forward video of the day’s events, Nixon captures the moments with up to six cameras and spends 30-50 hours editing footage. He even mixes in a compelling soundtrack to tell the couple’s love story.

ask to see five demos. All true artists and professionals have a portfolio of their work. Ask for testimonials. Ask your videographer for three to four real testimonials and to provide contact information for those couples. Ask about their camera. Most camcorders are not good enough to professionally capture the day for you. You want videographers to use broadcast-quality video camera with 3CCD technology. Even the cameras that claim to be high definition do not process the same amount of information unless they are 3CCD or better, Nixon said. If you want the finished video to look sharp on your television, then a broadcast camera is necessary. Ask them if they have a day job. If they aren’t doing this full time, they simply may not have adequate time to edit a wedding video properly. And if they don’t spend as much time editing, you will end up with a video that is chopped together and lacks that movie-like quality you are expecting. epg More information is available at www.travisbellphotographers.com and www.coastalvideo.com.
