Last night's conference call was a big success, as we have narrowed down the location and the food.
As you all know, we have done our best to be as frugal as possible. We want to ensure that we have a classy yet affordable event. Since many of the venues we looked at were over $1000 to rent for the night, we decided to look at other options. Kelly and Wendy found out that we can rent the Anderson Farmers Market for $300 ($100 of which is refundable), plus $25/hour security rental. This will save us at least $800!
Also, we have decided to go with Sullivan's for the catering. We are thinking heavy hors d'oeurves and a cash bar. Once we get a long a bit further with food choices, we will let you know.
We also discussed the band vs. DJ debate. Any input on this will be great. We feel that we can get a better deal by using a DJ, but we'd be open to hearing any input on bands. Also, please send us any songs you would like to hear played during the event. You can leave them in the comments here or on the Facebook page.
One last thing...we need ideas for entertainment/activities for the night. Do you want to have a slide show of then and now? Awards? Performances?
We'll be talking again on Tuesday, September 15th.

missed the call....busy day at work and didn't get the time to call in. entertainment wise, i've contacted a couple of different dj's and had some input on bands. the venue will really dictate which way we need to go.
ReplyDeleteanderson farmers market is a great choice in my opinion. there's a great local blues/bluegrass band that we have had at many company events. cheap is the main word and they would fit in perfectly with the atmosphere.
entertainment wise, i have a few suggestions that can wait until our next call.
fyi...i want to hear gangstas paradise and get your woman on the floor played.
what is the number for the next call? Leslie
