Hi,

I was going to go around and hand my business cards out to bridal salons. I actually saw a new establishment last night in the area.

Thanks so much for the advice.

Sincerely,

Sundi,

Thanks so much for posting these questions. I am in the process of putting together a quick questionnaire to post on my blog for real estate agents. I was trying to come up with some great questions to ask and you have given me a great head start.

Thanks for sharing.

Great ideas Sundi! I am going to jot down those questions to ask - even if a planner never considered using a VA, planting the seed with them may open the door.

I think the busy event planners could use the help of a VA. A good wedding planner has to research vendors, reception sites, etc to provide the best price and quality for their client.

Interesting idea for a niche. My cousin has an event planning business in NS. I'm going to have to pick her brain and offer to do some work for her in exchange for a testimonial.

Did you (York) finally decide to go with this as a niche?

I am VA and also an Business/Corporate Event Planner. Sometimes I would enlist the help of another VA when it gets to much to handle.

I do not plan Wedding Events, too much emotion involved between the bride, the groom and their families, it alway seems that no one was on the same page except for my Wedding planner and the staff.

Most Event planners do need the help of a VA, so keep on searching for ones that do.
