About me:
Michele is certified in event planning. Michele has planned her daughter’s wedding last year and has realized that making someone else’s dream come true is what her passion is and decided to make a career out making dreams come true. Michele has planned other events such as social, birthdays and baby showers and has truly enjoyed every moment. These moments made Michele realize the every moment is special and the reason she has named her company Moments by Michele.
My goal is to make your wedding as stress free and memorable as possible. I love planning weddings and events and would love to make your dream to come true.

Essay:
Moments by Michele is a wedding and event planning business. Providing our clients with full, partial and day of service wedding planning to ensure your special day will be memorable. Our team will make your special day a day to remember that will last a lifetime.
Let your moments become a part of your memories that will not only last a lifetime but one that you can speak and cherish with family and friends forever.
My first year of business I plan to reach out to social media such as Instagram, Facebook, The Knot, Wedding Wire, Pinterest and attend venue shows to make my business known. The first year I plan on working with 4-5 clients and continue to grow my business through word of mouth, reviews, social media and attending events. In five to ten years my goal is to average 7-12 weddings a year. Build a company with integrity and reliability and continue to participate in vendor shows and wedding expos. I plan to take my career in the wedding event business full time by the fifth year. Eventually, after experience I would like to add on destination weddings. Currently, I am working full time in tax incentives and would eventually like to pursue wedding planning full time once my clientele has evolved.
