>> I'm Inger Miller and I'm an event planner.
I own Miller-Hawkins Productions a full-service event coordinating company.
Well events that spans a huge gamut of things.
We do corporate events, social events, entertainment events,
nonprofit events so when I speak of nonprofit, it's golf tournaments, galas;
corporate events could be meetings, planning and conferences; private events,
private social events would be weddings, parties, etcetera.
Well we're a full-service company.
We serve on the premise, "Don't worry, we will."
So we want to make sure that all of our clients whether it's a corporate event,
a social event that they are guests at their own event.
So the first thing we need to obviously talk about is what is the goal of the event?
What are you trying to accomplish?
If it's, let's say a wedding for example, we want to make sure
that the bride is as happy as she can be.
That she doesn't have to take care of anything or we can be as useless as they want us to be
so I could be there just to hold her hand
or on the other front we could be there to do everything.
We could be just the yes person and I could say, Okay, here are your venues.
Choose yes or no kind of thing.
The best part about my job is again, our tag line is "Don't worry, we will."
There's always things happen behind the scenes that we take care of.
We're the make it happen people.
The client doesn't have the opportunity to know that that happens.
Lots of corporate events that we do can be fun.
I like the fact that we're not, we haven't pigeon-hold ourselves into one genre.
We do everything, whereas a lot of my colleagues will either do corporate events or social events
and for us based upon what's happened in the economy it's been a blessing
that we have given ourselves the opportunity to learn about different areas of event planning
and been to be able to work in different fields.
So for me it's all great.
It's I would hate to be just weddings or just be corporate.
We get an opportunity to use what we learned in weddings, the new trends etcetera
and bring those to our corporate clients and jazz up their events.
It's not the same old chicken dinner that maybe a gala would have, so.
