Ending 2016 on a High

So this post is going to be a little bit of bragging. We initially won our first award in 2014 for event planning from our city. To quote from the Kansas City Award Program:

"Each year, the Kansas City Award Program identifies companies that we believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community. These exceptional companies help make the Kansas City area a great place to live, work and play."

This program has chosen A Special Occasion, LLC as their event planning winner. We received notification of this year's win just yesterday. Well, the exciting thing is now that we have won this award in three consecutive years, we have now been chosen to be a part of the Kansas City Business Hall of Fame! We are now a part of an elite group of people and it feels pretty good.

Just wanted to share the excitement!

Hard Work Does Pay Off

The fact that it is June and almost July right now is really something else. Six months have gone by in such a whirlwind. During this time we were able to have a successful event with Brides Against Breast Cancer. We were able to sell over 20 gowns and raise money for the organization. It was a wonderful experience and the best part is they're coming back to our great city and we get to do it again this fall in November. With the work we did with them, we now have the privilege of now being a preferred vendor with Brides Against Breast Cancer.


We also had the pleasure of planning a very intimate dinner for two. We were able to plan it all in a very short period of time (9 days to be exact) and they both loved the outcome. From the personal chef to the stringed duo, the evening turned out great. Our very own Juanita Michelle planned and executed the elegant and fabulous place settings and decor.  

 All the while we were planning these events and doing things to help promote our business, something great happened. We won an award! We were selected to received the 2014 Kansas City Award in the Event Planner category by the Kansas City Award Program. Out of all the planners that are in the city, we were chosen for this year. What an honor and a blessing to have whoever it was in our community to nominate us and then for us to be chosen.

Never give up on your dream - Even if it takes longer than you would like by weeks, months or even years. Keep working your passion and doing what you love because you never know when what you do will bet noticed by the right people. This award was not sought after, but was given to us by our community. No matter how big or small your events may be, you making a difference can put you in some wonderful positions.
