 |
|
| Kelly's love of working with
people to bring their vision to fruition brought
her to Cityside, where she has diversified into
all facets of wedding planning, management, and
production. She is quick to establish a strong rapport
with her clients and has endeared herself to dozens
of grateful brides. |
| "My greatest satisfaction comes from |
|
|
| |
helping make a very anticipated event special
and personal. Often times the details can overwhelm
and cause unneeded stress and that's when we are
at our best. It's extremely rewarding to watch someone
enjoy the planning process just as much as the event
day because we were there to assist them." |
|
|
| |
Most Memorable Event: "I started
with a panicked call from a bride-to-be, just 30
days before her wedding.and ended with a very successful
event and a big hug from an extremely thankful and
happy bride." |

|
|
| |
awareness, and knowledge of specific
vendors and facilities are essential. The most satisfying
aspect of my work are the behind-the-scenes details
that allow the event to become a something real." |

"I love seeing the faces of
the bride, groom, families and guests and realizing
how truly happy they are. If the bride and groom
are happy, then we did our job. It's very rewarding
to know that Cityside Events makes a tremendous
difference in peoples' lives on such an important
day." |

President and Owner |

As a full-time band leader working
a busy schedule of weddings and corporate and fundraising
events, Jim observed that many events fall short
of their potential due to poor planning or unanticipated
or overlooked details. Jim launched Cityside Events
in 2000 as a one-solution company focused on the
mantra, "an event is all about the details, we're
all about simplifying them!" |
|
|
|
| |
"I really believe that we truly
make a definitive difference for our clients. When
someone shakes my hand at the end of a celebration
and says that they were so glad they hired us because
we truly made it a success.that's what makes it
all worthwhile." |

Bella has been working around event planning for as long as she can remember. Her specialty is inspecting the area under tables after an event to ensure that no stray crumbs are left lying around. Her coworkers appreciate her for her enthusiasm, loyalty, compassion, and her inability to identify her tail as part of her own anatomy. |

Most Memorable Event: "Sometimes during the set-up of tents and equipment I get to tag along and help inspect the grounds. Once, I was so excited about a tent that we put up on an oceanfront property. It had a dynamic view but we made it even more appealing by the angles and tent style and amazing lighting concepts that we used and I found two really nice sticks to play with." |
