Today we’d like to introduce you to Bonnie Wentworth and Jessica Fingleman.
Hi Bonnie and Jessica, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I (Bonnie) started the company in 2018 after years of planning family events and corporate events. I planned my own wedding in 2018 to the man of my dreams and decided that weddings were what I wanted to begin doing. The business was slowly moving along until Covid hit so I began working to build the business. Well business grew, and weddings didn’t stop, so I needed additional help and that is when my husband told me to reach out to Jessica, he had known her and her husband for approximately 30 years. I was lucky enough to convince Jessica that weddings were what she wanted to be doing (LOL) and so she started ( don’t tell her I said that part LOL). She has been a dream come true, we make an amazing team and since her coming on board our business has quadrupled. We are highly rated in the wedding community, with past clients and other vendors.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
For the most part, our events are smooth sailing, however, we have our occasional hiccups, but we always work through them. Our biggest struggle is finding the staffing that we need to work on all of the events we get called for. We HATE turning down contracts but sometimes we have to due to staffing issues.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
We offer full planning, month of and day of coordinating, linens, decor, full bar services, or bartenders, coffee / hot tea bars along with event staffing.
Well, we think we specialize in all of our services, but we are most known for our coordinating and event staffing. We just received our TABC license Nov 2021, so we are still working to get that information out.
We are most proud of the name we have gotten for ourselves, we work hard to ensure that we go above and beyond our contracted services and we feel that our past clients would agree that we had.
What’s next?
Our plans are to keep growing our client list, and our overall business. We would love to see our own venue in the future, or our own property to house our storefront rather than renting as we are doing now.
