Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexis Griffin.
Hi Alexis, 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 backstories with our readers.
I started bartending in lounges and bars in college (more than 20 years ago) and moonlighted as a DJ when needed. That transitioned into bartending and DJ’ing for private events. I was really interested in the whole process of providing an optimal experience for guests from the smell of the room, the lighting, the flowers, the food, the music geared toward the occasion, the photography…the whole experience. I started volunteering to help with anything, for any event, so I could learn as much as possible.
After about 5 years, I started offering my experience in the form of a “whatever you need” type of event coordinator, by giving business cards to friends, family, and former clients. Consistency of quality events over the years has continued to grow the business. We did hit a wall during COVID, canceling events for 8 solid months. I’m happy to say this year we have really started to rebound. We have a new 145cm, 360 Photobooth for rent – alone or in an event package! We have new bartenders, servers, coordinators, and valets (all of which are vaccinated!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
We did hit a wall during the peak of COVID, canceling events for 8 solid months. During those months I tried to get my clients to understand that only gave us more time to perfect every little detail for their event.
Our ultimate goal is to obtain our own venue, so we can offer absolutely everything in one place!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We love watching people make great memories! The short description of who I am is the owner of “That’s Perfect” an event planning, staffing, and 360 photo booth company. But is it so much more than that…We are the “Memory Makers!” We want our clients to relax at every event. Whether we plan and staff it from top to bottom, just provide staff and bartenders, or if we are only there as attendants for our 360 photobooths… we want everything we do to be PERFECT. When it’s perfect hosts and guests can smile more and worry less.
The event I am most proud of is a wedding we did complete planning and design for, for a couple who had no living parents. We really put our hearts into it. We were there daily and weekly for anything they needed, from dress fitting, cake tastings, all the decorum and flowers, and a shoulder to cry on, we did our best to fill that space for such a beautiful couple. They were truly grateful, and the whole day turned out absolutely perfect.
What sets us apart from others is we do not do “cookie cutter” style events. We want to hear your story and your needs. If this is a wedding or a yearly event, our goal is for everything to be top-notch.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
I loved all of my birthdays as a small child. My birthday is October 8th.
My mother and older sister are born on October 9th and 11th. Somehow my father always made sure we all felt special on our day. We all had a “together birthday” every year, but I always remember it being so much fun because it was like a Pre-Thanksgiving with family and friends. Food, cake, games, and lots of laughter!
