I've worked in the event industry for almost 5 years and love helping people make their dreams a reality. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My mission is to help everyone (no matter how much or how little you have in your budget) create and enjoy a memorable event. Just because you don't make big bucks, doesn't mean your event can't LOOK that way. I can take the stress off your shoulders and plan the event for you. Or, I will build a road map to help you plan and execute your own events for less.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My goal- take your vision and your budget and help you create a memorable event your guests and a meaningful savings for you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4215361089120315310-2781256351145000129?l=sunnyevent.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sunnyevent.blogspot.com/feeds/2781256351145000129/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sunnyevent.blogspot.com/2009/03/starting-from-scratch.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4215361089120315310/posts/default/2781256351145000129'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4215361089120315310/posts/default/2781256351145000129'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sunnyevent.blogspot.com/2009/03/starting-from-scratch.html' title='Starting from Scratch'/><author><name>Sani Nielsen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13002521458547606833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G2mqMepTdZk/ST1k6UccZHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5Mwe7HvDBrA/S220/DSC_0673.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2mqMepTdZk/SbCvlW5aVtI/AAAAAAAAABQ/For62g2M-H4/s72-c/CIMG7116.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
