Unique Wedding Registry: Honeyfund

I'm in a fun postiton right now because I'm not only a wedding and event coordinator, but I'm also engaged! My fiance, Che and I have been engaged six months and are having so much planning our May 2011 wedding. With my job, I am always keeping current with new wedding trends and ideas, so now that I'm a bride to be, I am in overdrive absorbing everthing related to weddings, and I'm loving it!!!














One of my latest favorite finds is http://www.honeyfund.com/, an online honeymoon registry. This is ideal for couples who are living together and already have items found on a traditional registry like houseware and appliances or for couples who simply want help with their honeymoon. It's a free service (unless you opt for Honeyfund Premium which gives you more profile design options but isn't necessary) and the website is user friendly and easy to navigate.

I like suggesting Honeyfund to my clients and it's been a big hit! Che and I have also decided to use this site for our own registry. Here is a link to the profile we've created to give you an idea of how it works: www.honeyfund.com/wedding/juarezrazo

For your guests who aren't internet savvy, I recommend still registering for some items from a store. Either way, setting up a wedding registry is fun and gives you the opportunity to plan for life after the wedding!

What To Look For When Hiring a Coordinator For Your Next Event

There are many things to consider when hiring a coordinator for your event. Here is a list of points to look at when shopping for a wedding or event planner:

1. How many years of experience does the person have with planning a wedding/quinceanera/event?

Experience in planning the type of event you are having is key. Many seasoned event planners will tell you that from all of the training, workshops and college courses available, the most important part of their success is their experience.

2. Do they have a portfolio?

Being able to see phototgraphs of events that the person has designed or coordinated gives you the opportunity to see the quality of their work and whether they share your same style.

3. Does they have references?

When you meet with a planner for the first time, it is similar to a job interview, so why not ask for references! Speak with a couple of their past clients. If the planner has happy customers, theses customers are likely willing to give a recommendation and talk about their good experience with others.

4. Are they accredited with the Better Business Bureau?

This one is very important. When businesses are accredited with the Better Business Bureau, they have been approved as a business that is committed to honesty with its customers, has a proven track record, and operates with integrity on all levels. BBB accredited businesses are also given a rating from A+ to F based on customer reviews. Visit their website at http://www.bbb.org/ for a list of all BBB accredited businesses, ratings and customer reviews.

Welcome to the Imagine Events Blog!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Angelica Razo, and I am the Wedding and Event Coordinator for Imagine Events. I began working at Imagine Events as an intern in September of 2008. After seven month of shadowing Veronica Valles, the owner of Imagine Events, I was promoted to Assistant Event Coordinator, and eventually became the head Event Coordinator.

I have wanted to blog about my experiences with event coordination and my love for weddings and quinceanera planning for a long time. Now, with the launch of our new website coming soon, I thought this would be a great opportunity to begin.

My goal is to share my knowledge and passion for weddings, quinceaneras and events with my readers. I want to give readers practical, fun and beautiful ideas and advice for their big day. I will be blogging about decor and design ideas, tips on how to have a great event on a budget and wedding trends. I will also be featuring some of our clients and their journey towards their big day.
