Relay and Review Feedback
After each event, we gather as a team to critique our performance from start to finish. And critical to this process is the event manager’s nine-page post-event analysis report as well feedback from clients and guests. We love when they reach out to us to extend their appreciation and gratitude for surpassing their expectations. The wonderful feedback we recently received includes:
- AMAZING everything!
- Thank you again and I look forward to future events together
- We were all very impressed with the decorative setup of each food station – not to mention the food was fantastic.
- I wanted to take a moment to share with you what an incredible job your team did last evening for our Ribbon Cutting.
- Thank you for making our company picnic so very wonderful and a true class act!
- Our owner was quite impressed with everything!
When we review our clients’ events, taking into account all forms of feedback, we take a close look at every step of the process. Here is an example of the type of timeline we consider:
- Following up on initial contact: The client enjoyed a prompt response to their online inquiry and enjoyed getting to know one of our friendly professionals. With their message coming a year in advance to their anniversary, we had plenty of time to learn about their dream event and offer ideas. As we spoke, an elegant and memorable event vision came to life.
- Scoping out venues: When we looked over the tentative guest list, we learned we would need a venue with room for hundreds of guests. They also wanted to utilize beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces with starry night backdrops. We used our venue finder and inside knowledge to hone in on their needs and create a list of venues to tour. After some exciting outings, we selected Boerner Botanical Gardens for its stunning natural vistas and close proximity to downtown Milwaukee.
- Creating a personalized design plan: With their venue selected, we got to work creating a floor plan with décor that matched their 50th anniversary party theme.
- Customizing menu choices: A fine plated dinner was the perfect match to the client’s upscale anniversary celebration, and we enjoyed learning about their favorite dishes to showcase in it. Together, we decided to make the first dish they shared—a beef tenderloin—one of the main courses.
- Private tasting: The client was thrilled from their first bite of our filet of beef tenderloin with Jack Daniels au poivre. It perfectly exemplified their style and story.
- Finalizing the event plan: Our team worked together to create an elaborate event diagram that facilitated the open floor plan and provided ample room for their DJ and fun dessert stations.
- Relaying feedback: We were thrilled to hear that the client could not have been more pleased with how their anniversary party played out. We loved seeing some of their favorite photos from the special celebration and were sure to share them with our whole team.
