Elegant Event Sitters


 
This year you want to make your corporate event extra special and invite the entire family and want the parents to be at ease because their children are close by,or make a wedding a joy for the little ones while mom and dad do the electric slide. Whatever the case  many times  parents have to  decline an invite because of babysitting issues. It maybe that the parents feel guilty about leaving the baby home while at a special event.
I know a simple solution,hire event sitters. We learned about this service a couple of years ago and it is becoming very popular in the special events industry. It is a fairly new service and more and more people are hiring event sitters to entertain the children while the adults have a good time.
We had the pleasure of meeting Tish Davis the owner of Elegant Event Sitters  at an event her company was hired for.Tish was full of energy and pleasant, she was very excited about the kids coming for the 2nd day of an event were the parents attended a conference. 
The children were served breakfast then kept busy making Father's Day cards, the smaller children were in the next room playing with toys and listening to nursery rimes. It was great,the children were fine and the adults just two doors down enjoying a corporate function. I thought to myself this is a simple solution to an old age problem. Tish truly loves what she is doing and we are happy to have her as our vendor spotlight this week.




1- How long have you been a event sitter? I’ve been in business for 6 years.

2- Since you've  started event sitting, how common has event sitting become? Event sitting has really started gaining popularity. More brides are looking to provide a fun alternative for the young guests.

3- How did you come up with such a creative idea of event sitting? Actually the idea was not mine but after I heard about the concept, I knew that it would fill a need in the wedding and event industry. As a single mom, I understand needing a sitter in order to attend a special event.

4- Are you a traveling event sitting company? We work nationwide and have teams in about 18 states right now. New markets are being added all of the time. The teams are local to their coverage area so that clients don’t incur travel fees.

5- How much notice do you need for booking a wedding? We have several sitters available in each market so we can book as late as 2 weeks in advance. Our dates fill up quickly, so the earlier the better.

6- What kind of fun things can a potential client expect from Elegant Event Sitters? Our sitters entertain the children with face painting, arts and crafts, karaoke, games, toys and a lot more.

Cincinnati Bridal Stylist





For those of you that don't know her I would like to introduce you to Tamia Stinson of  Style Sample Magazine based out of Cincinnati Ohio. Style Sample Magazine is a hub for  fashion bloggers and fashion enthusiast's to share articles, stories and of course fashion tips.

We met Tamia at a photo shoot hosted by Cincy Chic, she stood out because of her confidence and her great sense of style. She wore a vintage  jacket and a beautiful full length skirt with lace stocking and killer shoes. I introduced myself and got her card, it wasn't until a year later when I saw her again at Fashion Week in Cincinnati. It was the same thing a killer outfit, not the like outfits that you purchase out of the mall because you saw it on a manikin but simply unique. So"WE" became fans and visited her web site often, always keeping in the back of minds that we would like to work with her one day.

Well Events by WE has now teamed up with Tamia Stinson to offer a personal stylist to our package for brides. We are very excited about this new partnership. To  learn more about our services please contact us at askus@eventsbywe.com. Check out why a professional stylist may be needed for your wedding day.



How long have you been a professional stylist?

I've been telling people what to wear since I was six, and started offering fashion and styling advice at TheStyleSample.com in 2008.

Why might a bride want to hire a stylist?
For one, most brides have enough to worry about when planning a wedding--knowing that there's someone who will ensure you look amazing on your special day makes the whole process so much easier. In addition, it helps to have access to an impartial, professional opinion. No one wants family politics and Aunt June's predilection for pastel polyester to get in the way of looking good!

What is one key thing to take into consideration when choosing a bridal gown?
The most important thing to consider is what works best for your shape. Trends come and go, but different body types look their best in certain silhouettes, and getting that right is half the battle!
