Exciting Times are Coming!!

Hey guys and gals!!

Sorry it's been so long!  An exiting new part of What a Whirl Events is coming soon.... Stay tuned for details :)

Why I do what I do.

I remember being 6 years old and with my dad at large chain superstore in our hometown (Weatherford, TX)  and begging for this child's wedding kit.  You know what I am talking about (they had doctor kits and racecar kits)...the pink plastic case was all I needed to see to set my eyes on it.   It was full of fill-in-the-blank invitations, menus, programs, crayons and glitter pens to decorate with, and veil with a headband.   It led to days and months of fun for me. Creating Barbie's wedding day to GI Joe (Ken was too pretty) and fatascing about what my day would look like.  I have always been the one with the plan.  I plan vacations, formals, galas, shopping trips, dinner parties and pretty much everything else.  I have also always been crafty. I had a grandmother that always made sure I was doing something creative. 

When I was in high school I started to really think about what I wanted to do with my life and I could not get planning events out of my mind.  I went to college, majored in communications and public relations, and got myself into anything and everything that involved event planning. From conferences to sorority formals, I was involved with it all. I even did a special events internship at a non-profit in town. 

For me, event planning isn't about that glitz and the glam.  It's about watching something that you (and the bride/client) have dreamed and planned and fussed over the last months/years come to fruition.  It's about watching a bride walk into her reception and loving every detail.  It's about creating a seamless and stress-free day for a client so that they can embrace the happy occassion and remember only the great times had by all.  For me, event planning is in my blood and my heart.

I will always plan, create and fuss over the small details. Those details make the event and the memories.  They make my job perfection.
