Cupcakes and Venues

Today was a wedding planner's dream come true.

My client urged me to call the Arapahoe County Fairground again to talk to them. I told him it was booked. The lady I talked to about 2 weeks ago told me they were booked in Sept of next year for a cross country national championship. They had already taken up the whole weekend. I trudged on...called a lot of venues, got a lot of prices, got a lot of ideas, but was getting no where. After he emailed me today, I called them again to double check that I had received wrong information. It turns out I did!!!

Just for everyone's reference, Arapahoe County Fairgrounds is revamping their contracts, prices and some other details. They AREN'T booking until next month and they are in fact, NOT BOOKED NEXT SEPTEMEBER. They are booked THIS SEPTEMBER for Labor Day weekend. This means, the venue my clients have been pulling for since I met them, may be a reality! I am taking them out to see Chatfield Botanic Gardens just so they can broaden their search since we can't book Arapahoe County Fairgrounds until next month.

You're all probably wondering what the cupcakes  part of the title is all about. My friend is wanting to open a cupcakery! I am so excited! I'm helping her market it and tell her what I have done to market my company. I just designed a website and I'm going to show it to her tomorrow. I'm so excited to see her face when she sees it.

It was a fun day watching all of this unfold. Marketing, adverstising, venues becoming available and just the bright sunny day was enough to make me smile. I'll keep you updated on my friend's cupcakery business. It'll be exciting to watch it grow and become a roaring business.
