Has anyone here hired assistants for "day of" coordination - people to help with setups, throughout the wedding/event, and the tear-downs? I'm looking to hire a couple of assistants for a wedding I'm doing in September, and am looking for some really great interview questions. Thanks!

Got final grades in luxury planning - all A's! Yay! I am completely done!

As of today -- 8 months and 88 assignments later -- I have completed ALL of my QC courses - Event & Wedding Planning, Event Décor, and Luxury Weddings & Events! I have not yet received my Luxury Unit C grade, but I am ready to submit Unit D and be done! EXCITED!!!!

I will be a vendor at a bridal show in March - not only my first show but the first time these producers have done a show too! I am working hard on a great booth design and am looking forward to it. Nervous, too! Best of luck to you on your bridal show!

Thanks, Aimee. I am done with Unit C completely, but once again, I am still waiting for my Unit B grades before I submit C. I finished Unit B on January 9. Sigh.......

I was wondering if anyone can offer insight into how you answered the following questions for Assignment 7 of Unit C/Luxury Wedding & Event Planning: Question 3, 4 and 7. Also, what two event planning programs did you select for Assignment 8? I am looking at Aisle Planner (haven't found a 2nd on...

just got my grade - A+ - none wrong on the quizzes.

Just got my grade, got an A+, none wrong on the quizzes.

I should add that I am still waiting on my grade, so I don't know if I got all the answers correct on that one.

Which questions on A6 are you referring to? Never mind - here's how I answered all of them: F, T, F, T, T, F, T, F, F

Yes, I am in the luxury course now. Just finished Unit A and am about to submit it. I must say, the worksheets are totally different and the assignments are somewhat vague. In other words, they are asking us to provide key details of what makes a corporate event "luxury" (Assignment 7 in U...

I had my "substitute" tutor disagree with one of my answers and I am a little frustrated that my regular tutor didn't grade my second unit in Event Décor. I knew a month or so ago she was dealing with flooding (she lives in Barbados), and this was the same excuse given for her not grading ...

I am about to start mine and already have a problem, and the school was no help. The only versions of Adobe that I have on my two devices (an all-in-one computer in my office and my Surface Pro) only OPENS the assignment PDFs. I cannot type in them. So, on my Surface Pro, I added the Adobe app and I...

Yes, and this isn't the first question that I felt was vague. Oh well! I went ahead and kept my answer and submitted my assignments!

On assignment 2 in Event Décor Unit C, question 7 asks: Which centerpiece described below would you NOT want to place on a standard sized cocktail table? The choices are: a) any flower in a tall, slim vase; b) peonies in a handkerchief vase; c) moss in a rectangular vase; and d) ornamental balls in ...

Thank you, Aimee Dunn. I am about to have a new website launch by year-end, so I am excited about that. I am on Facebook -- TLC Events and Weddings, LLC (look for my page in Dayton, Ohio) and my personal page is under Lori J. Bridges Osborne. Thanks for the encouraging words!

How do you see what anyone else has submitted to the Student Showcase?

Has anyone ever submitted their work to the Student Showcase? It says, "submit pictures of your best work" and I wasn't sure if that meant photos from the assignments (picking the one we think we did the best on) or pictures of actual work we've done!

I also got 2 wrong, and was wondering the same thing. One of the questions wasn't even specifically addressed in the book -- we had to just guess at the answer (I'd have to go back and look at which one....).

I have Candice Coppola and the school assigned my final unit to someone else. Apparently, Candice lives in Barbados and is dealing with her house flooding! Anyway, I got my grade - I got all A+ grades on all 40 assignments and the school is giving me an Award of Merit! Hooray!

So I found out from the admin of a different Facebook group, but who is also a member of the group I got banned from -- that some other member of the group told that group's admins that I was publicly harassing brides and bad mouthing other vendors. NOT TRUE! Is having a "conversation" wit...

I am a new event & wedding planner and am in a few Facebook groups where I can connect with brides. Every time I post something - either about my services or articles I've found on the internet with tips - another wedding planner posts something within 30 minutes of mine. The other day, I replie...

So now I AM getting a bit frustrated as today marks Day 10 since I submitted my final assignment in event & wedding planning -- and still no grade! Why is it the one I want to receive the most is taking the longest???

I have been waiting since November 15 for my final unit's grade in Event & Wedding Planning, but with the Thanksgiving holiday, I'm sure it is just delayed. It is a little frustrating, because I am eager to graduate and receive my certificate, because I am having a new website created for my bus...

I was really hoping I could create some actual tablescapes, etc., and include photos in these assignments. My area has an event décor/rental company that said I could come anytime and play around with all of their tables and linens and centerpieces, etc., and take photos. I thought what fun that wou...

Can anyone give me some brief steps on how to use Polyvore????

Okay, so I am trying to figure out Polyvore and I have NO clue! I have put together a tablecloth and linens, published it, gave it a name - TWICE now -- and I can't find it anywhere! How in the world does this work? And then if I DO actually save a "set" or "collection", how do I...

Student support said to use the squares provided or Polyvore. I just have a lot going on this week -- and for the next several weeks -- that I just didn't know if I can fit in learning Polyvore. I hate using the color schemes available in MS Word but I just did it and I guess it's okay, but I'm not ...

I am also just starting on Event Décor. Just finished Event & Wedding Planning -- just waiting for final grade and certificate. I have never used Polyvore before and it's confusing to me. I don't know how to create an inspiration board, and if I do create one, how do I copy it into the assignmen...

I have entered in the correct URL of http://tlcweddings.yolasite.com/ but when I click on my Profile on the site, it won't go to my website. I then typed the URL into the TEXT of my introduction and when I click on it, it works! Please help! This is the last assignment in this unit and I am ready to...
