Week #10

3/24- today I had to help clean up from a previous event held at the venue. They had a town flea market sale where people could bring in there old stuff and sell them to the public. We had to sort the extra things in piles of where they would be going. We sorted them into a goodwill pile and other places the extra things that were not sold could be donated. We put things into bags and put them into the truck to be sent off to be donated. I also had to update my RSVP list and see who has sent RSVP's and who has not. I also had to go through brides to see who has cancelled and erase there information from my spread sheets. I had to update name tags and lists to make sure all brides proper information was on my sheets.

3/26- today I had to do double check work on all my spread sheets for the bridal show. I had to make sure all the bride sent in there RSVP's. For the brides that have not RSVP I had to delete them off my lists. I had to create a new list of all the vendors and their contact information. I also had to update the name this again for te bridal show. I finished the name tags so we can print them out for the bridal show. I also had to make sure all the brides information for their wedding dates is correct aand name spelling is correct.  

Week#9

Spring break: off for the week 

Week #8 3/10-3/12

3/10- today I just did RSVP input work. I entered names into my spreadsheet and the number of people they are bringing. I also made name tags for new brides, and added them to my spreadsheet list. I also had to update my sign in sheet for the brides names for our bridal event.

3/11- today I did filing and double checking of files at the office. I had to make sure each bride has a file. I also had to make sure each folder contained tier wedding contract. If the bride has a wedding that is close then we have to make sure we have her contact because it finalizes that they are set on their wedding being at the barn. The contract also states that the bride has payed in full which is of course very important. My second task today was doing inventory. We have to make sure we have inventory done so that we can make orders for the upcoming wedding season. The venue has many of it's own linens, dishware and glasses so it's important to haw enough for events. Today I counted the table covers and chair covers for vents. I grouped them Into color and size categories. I had to create a list to put these things i counted in order and they will later be placed into a spreadsheet. i also had to organize the material i counted, so everything would be nice and neat for when the wedding season begins.This task took most of my day to finish up.

3/12- Today i first checked the RSVP list and added more people to my list. We also had a new bride book a wedding date so i had to add her to the list. I had to contact one of the vendors who had not yet confirmed as well. I was able to get a hold of her via email and she explained to me she would be coming and her set up needs for the bridal open house. I was able to respond back to her and give her all the information she needed. I also had to make a list of brides who have not yet sent RSVP's back to us. I had to make a list with their names and emails so that my boss is able to keep track. I had to send our invitation email to these brides again as a second reminder. It is important to keep up with the brides because we need to get a estimated head count before the open house to make sure we have enough seating and food for each bride and guest. We also want to make sure we have packets and folders for the brides who will be attending.

3/13- Today i continued working on updating the RSVP list. This now has to be done almost everyday to make sure we have counted all of the brides. It takes a little time because after checking the RSVP i have to input the data into a spreadsheet and then create name tags. We constantly get new brides so my lists are always changing. This really helps me to prepare for a job where i need to be on top of things and very well organized. I also have a routine now, dealing with how i go about my input work so it works best for me and is effective. I also have been doing a little research dealing with organizations in Bloomsburg in which i can inquire to possibly book events at our space. There are some opening on the calender and the Barn often books these to Bloomsburg University related events and town organizations. 

Week #7 2/3- 2/5

3/3- Today I worked from home on my computer. I have to keep up to date with RSVP's for the bridal open house. I have to check the evite website and check the times and people who responded for each. I then enter the amount of people who each person RSVP and enter the number into my spread sheet. I will use this sheet to check people in at the bridal show. Due to the amount of food the brides are not able to bring more than four people with them. When they first arise I will make sure they brought the right amount of people. I also had to check up on a few vendors and answered a few questions and emails from them. I usually have to deal with emails on a daily basis because endors always hae questions about the events. 

3/5- today I had to help out with more bridal show details. We sorted out the information for vendors. I had to create an updated vendor list for the show. I also had to go into the exits website and update the RSVP's for the show. I had to add a few brides to my list as well, we constantly have new additions to the bridal list so invites have to be sent out and name tags have to be added. I also helped choose where each vendor would be placed in the tent for the vendors. My last task was to create a spread sheet of people I have contacted so far during the internship. I had to do this so melody has all the information for when I am done with the internship and can continue to contact new people.
