Week # 14

4/21- today I did some follow up calls with vendors who have not responded to me yet. I luckily was able to reach all the vendors and finish all my calls for the bridal open house. 

4/22- today I had to make folders for the brides who will be coming into the bridal open house. These bridal folders are filled with information sheets and a nap of te venue. Each bees will be given a folder as they check into the event. I also had to make a duplicate copy of our linens book. I did this so there is an extra book for the brides to look at while at the linen table during the bridal show. 

2/26- today I had to go I to te barn for just an hour. I had to fix some las minute changes to the bridal information packets before te event. 

2/27- today was the bridal open house. I was assigned to the registration desk and checked brides in as they entered te venue. I handed them name tags, informations packets and maps for the grounds. I was there all day and got the chance to be avaliable for the brides if they had any questions about the venue. 

Week #13

4/14- today I had to make follow up calls to all the vendors coming to the bridal show. I had to make sure they are still coming and now all the final details. Also I had to see if they are bringing door prizes to the event. If they could bring a door prize I had to see if they wanted to bring it the day of the show or have me pick it up. 

4/15- today I continued to contact vendors for door prizes and bridal show reminders. 

4/16- Today I had to go through all the social media sites the barn has (Facebook and Pinterest) and get pictures of cakes the baker had done for weddings. I catagorized the cakes into winter/fall  and summer/spring. I then had to take the pictures and Create two photo books for the seasons. This book is going to be used at the bridal open house so brides are able to look at the styles of cakes. I created this photo album online through Walmart so we can easily print them for the show next Sunday. 

Week #12

4/9-  Today i went over a total inventory of Glasses and pitchers for the venue. We had to go through the full inventory and sort the glasses into there proper categories. We separated them into stack able bins for easy storage as well. We also made sure we did a double count because the inventory will be used for the up coming bridal season. We created a written spread sheet that was then transferred into a excel spread sheet on the computer. I had to separate the inventory into a sheet for the Barn and for their second location, Hidden Acres. I created categories for each glass wear and put the inventory number on the sheet. I then did the same process for the Hidden Acres spread sheet. My boss explained to me how they decide how much of each thing they need based on wedding average size. They always make sure they have more than enough and now with two venues they have to be very careful to make sure they have enough plates, glasses and linens. Off of my inventory my boss was able to place an order for the upcoming bridal season.

4/10- today I worked on contacted vendors who will be attending the bridal show to make sure they are still coming. I also have to make sure they know to bring a door prize for the brides. I also have to arrange to pick up door prizes for the bridal show from the vendors. This will be an ongoing task for this and next week! 

Week #11

4/2- Today I was put in charge of creating the menus for the bridal open house. I had to take old menus and new menu Items and create a document with the information. I had to create two seperate menus for the bridal show. One menu has an advanced packet for brides who will be spending a little more money on their wedding and the second is a little cheaper of an alternative. The menu will be given out to the brides attending the bridal show so they know what good will be offered and where the food items will be located. The brides will be able to taste the food at the bridal show and if they want the food at their wedding they will be able to add it to their bridal package. I also had to create a sheet with menu add ons for the brides to have in order to see what they can add into their bridal packages. We created menus previously in a packet for the brides but there are added items brides may not e aware of so we made a sepreate sheet so it is easier for the brides to know what is a new item. 

4/3- Today my boss and I went through all our check in and invite lists for the bridal show. We cross checked every bride with a wedding booked and made sure they got an invite. We also added new brides to the list. We then checked the name tags and made sure all the brides have name tags. We also had to add on the name tags where the brides wedding location is: either hidden acres or the barn.
