How to build an event planning portfolio

August 22, 2018August 24, 2018 Thaliax

A huge part of any planner’s business is helping the client to visualize what you can do for them. Storefront and venue displays can often be helpful here, and hotels rely heavily upon them, but for the planner, there is no more important element than the portfolio.

A portfolio or whatever your social media photo booth needs, Keshot will help you completely customize the full experience for maximum brand exposure and return on your selfie photo booth rental investment. To complete your event planning portfolio needs, visit their website at https://www.keshot.com/.

As you plan magical weddings, sweet sixteen parties, or banquets, your portfolio will grow with different venues, themes, menus, and experiences. But what if you have never done a wedding before? How do you prepare your portfolio?

Keep in mind that a portfolio is there to help the bride and groom imagine the possibilities for their wedding. It is absolutely professional and appropriate to include representative photos of venues, plated food, and wedding themes, so long as you are able to deliver the vision depicted.

The notebook

The planner should have a very nice notebook, leather bound or otherwise (no grocery store binders), that can highlight aspects of every wedding. The notebook should be broken into Profile, Venue, Menu, Theme, and Packages

Profile:

This is where you start. The most important thing you are selling is you. This section should include your credentials, background, relevant experience, and most of all references. These are testimonials from people who know you and will comment on your abilities, organizational skills, client service, and the ability to deliver a fantastic wedding experience. This is where you begin to get the client excited about who they are hiring.

Venue:

Many wedding planners aspire to have their own venue as the business grows, and the best venues are designed with flexibility that allows for every theme of the wedding from rustic, to vintage, and beyond. Most venues have well-done photos that they will be glad to share with you for inclusion in your portfolio.

As you gain experience, be sure to have the photographer take photos that reflect your vision, so you can build your own book of work. Be sure to have a variety of locations with various capacities, and in different price ranges to serve your clients. Check to price regularly or have the venues advice you of pricing changes to avoid surprises.

Menus:

Nothing sells a catering menu like attractive photographs of the food properly plated. Linens and other details are important as well, but it is perfectly reasonable to reach out to local caterers and request professional photos of their catered offerings for your portfolio.

If the menu is to be served buffet style, the caterer should provide photos of the food and equipment. You want to ensure that your caterer shows up with a menu and serving items befitting the professionalism called for by your event. Be sure to have a variety of offerings to suit all events.

Theme:

Until you have well-done photos documenting your wedding theme options, you will have to be creative here. Local party rental stores have a number of items that can be rented as centerpieces and decorations to assist with wedding themes, and photos of these items well staged can help you customers imagine the theme options.

This is also a great way to expand your business with additional sources of revenue as you build a brand. Get permission of the happy couples you work with and include their images. It will help new clients imagine their own perfect day.

Other:

Some wedding planners like to provide their clients with checklists or follow along planners of their own to keep up with wedding timelines and details. This is a matter of personal preference, and should only be done where some money has been paid by the client in advance. The danger in this offering is that a client will use your tools to try to handle this themselves.

How to Charge For Your Services

Hourly

These packages include a set number of hours driven by a budget agreed upon by the client. Planners’ rates range from $75 to more than $150 per hour. Consulting packages typically billed by the hour consist of the client sitting down with the planner and asking questions based on the area or areas they need help in. This may be pulling together design ideas, confirming or suggesting a vendor or venue choices or ensuring that the client is on track and has not forgotten anything.

These types of meetings typically take place early in the planning process. These meetings are a great opportunity for the planner to upsell the client and recommend a Day of Coordination or even a Full-Service wedding package. Luckily for you, many times the client will realize they really do need more help than they had originally thought. However, these recommendations should be reserved until after the session has completed, as the client is paying you for your expertise, not your sales pitch.

Daily

Some clients want to be more involved in the planning of their event and hire a wedding or event planner to manage details on the day of the event. Charges for these events range from $1000 to $2000 dollars to manage the event for the day. Although this package is typically booked well in advance of the wedding, the wedding planner does not get involved until 1-2 weeks prior to the wedding day.

As a day of coordinator, responsibilities include creating a detailed timeline, contacting the vendors for formal introductions, confirming the day of contact information and reviewing copies of all contracts to clarify all contractual obligations of all vendors. After discussing the client’s vision the planner would be in charge of running the event. And on the day of the event, the planner’s responsibilities would be to be present at the venue and ensure every detail is set up the way the client has envisioned it.

As a Day-Of Coordinator, you should also be the liaison between the client and the vendors for the day. This greatly relieves the bride, for example from unnecessary stress, which is, in a nutshell, what being a planner really is about. During the event, the planner’s responsibility is to ensure everything runs smoothly. The goal is to adhere to the timeline, but in the event that this isn’t possible it is the planner’s responsibility to ensure that events are rearranged in such a way that incurs minimal cost and stress to the client, their families and their guests.

The package cost for Day of Coordination can vary widely depending on the area of the country, the size of the wedding and if there are one or two locations.

Full-service planners range from $3,000 to more than $10,000, depending on experience and demand. In some instances, these are flat fee engagements, and in others, the fee is a percentage of the total wedding cost ranging from 10-20%. Many planners who are well-established will only do full service since this gives them full control of the look and feel of the event upon which their name, and thereby brand depend.

In this package, the planner is practically running the show from conception to execution. Full-service planners recommend the vendors, which gives them the opportunity to work with vendors they are familiar with and can trust. They also typically are very involved with the planning of the decor, flowers, linens, rentals and printed materials. They also take care of all of the details included in the Day of Coordination package.

Eight destinations inspired by ‘La Casa de Papel’

May 11, 2018August 24, 2018 Thaliax

They are eight of the largest and most beautiful cities in the world which, in common, have urban, natural attractions and incredible views.

Have you thought about making a script for one of the cities that give the characters the name of La Casa de Papel? It’s like going around the continents of the world. Get inspired by the list of tips made by Kayak, a travel planning tool, in the EFETur Tours gallery.

Tokyo, Japan

Highlighted in the series, Tokyo is a modern woman and attitude. Its eccentric personality blends perfectly with the city that gives it its name, urban and energetic. With a mixture of religions, the city concentrates on important Buddhist temples. The Sensoji is perhaps the most famous and ancient temple of Tokyo. Meanwhile, the Meiji Jingu Shrine is a famous Shinto shrine, which can be enjoyed along with a walk through Yoyogi Park. The nostalgic lanes of Japan are a hit with locals and tourists alike, OK Yokocho – also known as OK Alley – is a bustling street with about 30 bars and unique restaurants, for those looking to get to know Japanese culture in depth.

The city’s newest attraction is Tokyo Skytree, the tallest tower in the world with a 360 ° view of the capital’s skyline. The Okutama area, away from the hustle and bustle centers, is filled with mountains, limestone caves, camping sites and hot springs, for an outdoor adventure filled with Japanese and American nostalgia.

The city has well defined seasons and the trip will be a unique and different experience in any of them. For those who want to save money, November is the month with average prices for lower airfares, according to Kayak history.

Berlin, Germany

Berlin is a city that offers plenty to do, no matter the time of year – a mix of attractions to suit all tastes. The museum at Checkpoint Charlie, part of the former Berlin Wall, as well as the bustling Holocaust Memorial, located near the Brandenburg Gate, are not to be missed programs to get to know the history of the city. Lovers of culture can visit the Museum Island, which houses the Berlin State Museums and works of art from around the world.

he Charlottenburg Palace, located in the heart of Berlin, has a gold gallery and a collection of porcelains that talk a lot about the history of the country. The East Side Gallery is the longest surviving section of the Berlin Wall, where more than 100 artists from more than 20 countries decorated the stretch of the interior wall with its artwork.

The Berlin Television Tower is the tallest building in town, where visitors can enjoy a unique 360 ° panorama of the city. For those who want to enjoy a more hectic trip, summer (June to August) is the best time. For those who like the chill, autumn (September to December) has milder temperatures and, on November, November is usually the month when tickets there are at the best average prices.

Nairobi – Kenya

Charismatic and moving, the character Nairobi is guided by a strong maternal instinct, which combines with the capital of Kenya, which gives it its name – a city that mixes colors, flavors and a fauna that make it the ideal place to see nature closely. Tours around Nairobi usually include visits to Nairobi National Park, home to animals such as zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffes, lions, leopards, hippos, rhinos and more than 400 species of birds. Inside it is the Nairobi Animal Orphanage and the Nairobi Safari Walk, an Educational Center where visitors learn about wildlife and habitat conservation. The Mamba Village park is home to ostriches and crocodiles and visitors have the chance to interact directly with the crocodiles and even hold young, always guided by an experienced team.

The Kenyan Bomas, on the Lang’ata Road, is a reservoir of Kenyan culture, where visitors can view exhibitions of traditional Kenyan houses – artifacts, dances, songs, and songs. The best time to visit Kenya is between January – the month when tickets are cheaper on KAYAK – and March, at the beginning of the year, and between June and September, when the probability of rainfall is lower.

Rio de Janeiro Brazil

One of the most beloved characters in the series, Rio is the youngest and shares the same lively energy as the capital of Rio. Who wants to know one of the most sought-after destinations in the country cannot fail to do some classic tours around the city. Leaving Praia Vermelha, the cable car takes you to the top of the Sugar Loaf hill, where you can enjoy the scenery from above. The Maracanã, which was once the scene of the most important classics of Brazilian football, offers a tour behind its scenes. At the top of Corcovado’s hill is Christ the Redeemer, one of the most classic and unforgettable tourist spots for those who visit the city.

The Museum of Tomorrow, with a pioneering proposal, is a wide space for debate and study about the future. Whoever wants to escape from the scorching heat of the Rio in summer, can travel to the city from June to August, when the temperature is milder and rains less. Due to the low season, August is the month when air tickets to the city are cheaper. For those who want peak season, January and February are the best requested!

Denver – United States

With its urban location, the Denver Union Station Plaza may seem like an unlikely place to find fresh local produce. However, the station houses an urban beekeeping program, where it is possible to order sweets, drinks and other delicacies made with locally produced honey. The 16th Street Mall offers 42 outdoor cafes along the mall, making it the perfect place to eat and enjoy good coffee. Denver is the fourth busiest downtown in the United States and features such attractions as the LoDo Historic District, the oldest neighborhood, and home to some of the city’s top restaurants, galleries, shops, and boutiques. At the Colorado State Capitol, you can have a panoramic view of the snow-capped peaks.

The Denver Museum of Art is comprised of two impressive architectural buildings – one of which is a fortress structure of the Italian architect Gio Ponti and the other a structure reminiscent of a titanium crystal with peaks and shards designed by Daniel Libeskind. Inside is the largest collection of indigenous art in the world and works by European masters, Old West classics, and traveling exhibitions. Summer (June to August) is the most popular time to get to know the city, with warm afternoons and cool nights. For those who have the price as the main factor, the month of March presents the cheapest ticket prices, according to Kayak history.

Moscow – Russia

Moscow, the capital of Russia, is up because of the world football. To take advantage of the city, a walk around Red Square is a must-see and one of the most popular tourist spots in the city. The area houses important buildings, such as St. Basil’s Cathedral, and is part of the history of the destination. As you walk through Moscow you can see some of the seven famous skyscrapers known as Stalin’s Seven Sisters, with an iconic architecture, built to celebrate the victory of the Soviet Union in World War II.

The Kitay-Gorod neighborhood has bars, restaurants, and nightclubs, suitable for travelers who want to enjoy Moscow’s nightlife. The Bolshoi Theater, located in the heart of Moscow, is one of the largest opera and ballet theaters in Russia and the world, where more than 800 operas have been performed. Winter in the city (December to March) is very strict. Already the mild temperatures take place from June until September, when it is possible to enjoy more. To enjoy lower prices, March is the best requested.

Helsinki – Finland

The capital of Finland, Helsinki is a vibrant coastal city with beautiful islands and large green parks. The pace of the city is quiet and, at the same time, invigorating, with great restaurants and nightclubs. Design, architecture, culture, and shopping are cool things to explore on site, plus natural areas like parks, forests, lakes and the coast. A third of Helsinki is covered by green areas and offers possibilities for outdoor activities and relaxation.

The Restaurant Day is celebrated every year with a major worldwide festival of food every third Saturday of May. In that period, anyone can set up a restaurant anywhere. This means that ordinary people can be chefs and sommeliers, ensuring plenty of fun and food, as well as wonderful encounters and memories. The best time to visit the city is between spring and summer, from May to September, when temperatures are milder, as winter has very cold temperatures – as is the character temperament of the series that got its name. In January, in the offseason, on the fly tickets prices fall – along with the temperature.

Oslo – Norway

Oslo is a place full of energy, with a modern gastronomy, in addition to much fashion and art. Iconic buildings are changing the face of the city, but it still maintains ties with nature. No wonder it was named Green Capital of Europe in 2019 for its dedication to the preservation of natural areas. Walks through the forest dives on the fjords and musical concerts are part of the city’s energy. All of Oslo’s neighborhoods offer something special and are easily accessible on foot, by public transport or by bicycle.

During the winter, it is possible to look for activities such as ice skating and skiing. Oslomarka, the huge forest on the slopes of the hills surrounding the city, offers an immense network of public trails for cross-country skiing. The Oslo Winter Park is the largest ski resort in the city and is just 30 minutes from downtown, with slopes for children, beginners, and experienced skiers. Between May and September, the temperatures are milder, which guarantees a more peaceful journey. To save money, the best month is March, when airfare there is cheaper in Kayak.

Exercises to tone while watching television

April 28, 2018August 24, 2018 Thaliax

Leave laziness behind, and take advantage of the moments you watch TV to tone up your muscles with these exercises.

You have no excuse! Neither time nor laziness will be a justification for not exercising, because with these exercises that we propose you can tone your body while watching television. Whether you are lazy or hopeless for sports, exercising while watching your favorite movie will be a way to make the most of your time and stay in shape. Attentive!

First of all, it is important that you know that you can take advantage of the resources of your room to train. For example, you can do some exercises on your sofa, as long as it is firm enough, the carpet is ideal for floor exercises, and the chair, table, chairs or puffs can help you perform some exercises. Now, take note of the exercises you can do while watching your favorite series on television.

1. Triceps on the couch

Hold on the edge of the couch with your palms resting on the seat and your fingers forward. Stretch, so that your butt is a little bit ahead of the edge, in the air, while your then together will remain on the floor, as if you were going to sit down. Lower your core to the ground, with your back straight, and climb back to the starting position. You can make variations of this exercise by lifting one foot while raising and lowering or extending the leg. Ideal to make arms while watching television.

2. Bicycle on the carpet

Lie on your back on the carpet while watching TV and start making bicycles. Raise the knees at the hips and hands holding the neck (Do not pull your neck, just a point of support). Begin to ‘pedal’ by bringing the right knee to the left elbow and vice versa. Repeat several times. You’ll be so entertained watching TV that you will not even notice.

3. Jumping jacks with squats

Take the opportunity to do some cardio and tone your thighs and buttocks with this combination of the famous jumps jumping jacks and squats. Make a jump opening and closing the legs and arms and then low down doing a squat. You can watch television while you exercise.

4. Lateral leg lift

It is one of the best exercises to do while watching TV because you can do it from the couch. Lying on your side with your head resting on your hand, lift your stretched leg, hold for a few seconds and lower yourself. When you have done a series of about 20 repetitions, change position and get on the other side of the sofa to repeat the exercise with the other leg without you stop watching TV. It is such a perfect exercise that you can even do it while eating popcorn … Maybe it is not recommended, but at least you will subtract some calories.

5. Split squats

Split squats or stride squats can be done anywhere, also while watching television. Stand with your feet open at the hips in front of the television, with enough space to make the stride. Stride forward, bending the knees, return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg. You can increase the intensity with weights or by supporting the back leg on the sofa or a chair, doing several repetitions with the same leg.

6. Table while watching TV

Repeat 20 or 30 seconds of plank or board, but instead of resting your feet on the floor, you can do it by resting your feet on the couch, similar to how the model does with the fitball.

7. Dance in front of the TV

When you see musicals, movies with animated music or music concerts on TV, take the opportunity to dance a while at your leisure. That will make you tone up, burn fat and have fun for a while, much more than if you were left lying on the couch. Let’s move!

Cardio and calories: knowing your relationship

When a person goes on a diet and begins to do cardio exercises and strength to lose weight, it is important that you understand how your calorie system works in your diet, so you can calculate how much cardio you need to do.

The cardio is directly related to the loss of calories, but it is not a miraculous method to lose weight since everything will depend on the total computation of calories that are ingested and burned.

Let’s give a practical example:

Imagine that your usual caloric intake is 3000 a day. It is estimated that to lose a pound of weight per week (about 450 grams) you need to lose 3500 calories in total, that is, be in a calorie deficit of 3500 a week or 500 calories a day.

If your diet is restricted to 2500 calories a day, you will lose one pound in a week without the need to exercise. However, as the weeks go by, you will end up entering a metabolic loop or tomb. You will not be able to continue in a continuous calorie deficit, that is unsustainable and unhealthy, so there will come a time when you will find your limit of reasonable daily calories and you will stop losing weight.

This is where the exercise comes in and why it is so important. In addition to helping you tone up your muscles and get fit while you lose weight, exercise (mainly cardio, although everything as a whole) will allow you to balance your calorie deficit with an adequate and healthy daily caloric intake.

For this you have two options:

Eliminate the deficit completely with cardiovascular exercise: for this, you will need to do between 30 and 40 minutes of cardio a day, 7 days a week. This option allows you to have an average caloric diet, as long as it is healthy.
Combine the deficit with less calorie intake and cardio: in this option, you will slightly restrict the diet and you will do cardio 5 days a week for 30 minutes.

The last option is much more affordable for those people who start from zero on a diet and are not used to exercising. It is also a good option for those who have too high a calorie intake in their usual diet and it is necessary to lower it for when they lose the necessary weight they learn to maintain themselves.

The type of cardio is also important

In addition to the above, we must take into account what type of cardio is performed, because not all cardio exercises are the same and, therefore, not all burn the same calories. For example, 20 minutes of HIIT cardio with high-intensity intervals equals 40 minutes of average cardio exercises.

To understand us, it is not the same to go for a run and do a routine where you have moments of great intensity and others of moderate intensity that go out running constantly at a moderate to smooth speed. Although both are cardio exercises and are healthy, in the first you will lose many more calories at the same time as in the second case.

Therefore, it is important to take this into account and choose the type of cardiovascular exercise that really suits your diet, your physical level, and your needs.

Excessive cardio can be harmful

One of the mistakes in which most people who want to lose weight and start doing cardio fall is that they do it in excess, which can cause adrenal fatigue and generate the opposite effect that you want to achieve: gain weight. In addition, it can wear down your muscles, joints, and bones, especially if you do not combine it with strength exercises.

Other disadvantages of excess cardio are that it usually leads to a loss of general energy, makes you lose efficiency in the gym and you can experience a loss of strength, which causes a decrease in motivation to go to train.

Therefore, it is important that you do cardio if you want to lose weight, but in fair measure and controlling the combination of diet and exercise for the deficit of calories. In addition, it is recommended that you combine cardio exercises with strength exercises to ensure correct toning of your muscles.

Any time is good to take advantage of an exercise with these one-minute routines. Attentive!

Exercise is essential to be in shape and feel good, but the gym or a sports activity are not the only ways to exercise. Although it is recommended that you maintain some type of training at least three times a week, we know that there is not always time for it. Therefore, a good suggestion is to make the most of the day and find good moments to do one-minute exercise routines that will help you improve your fitness and keep you fit.

One Minute Exercise Routines

Do not misunderstand us, if you only do one of these one-minute exercises once a day, it is difficult for you to define muscles or burn fat. That will only be achieved with good training and proper nutrition. However, you can improve your performance by practicing one-minute exercises taking advantage of different times of the day, which will help you stay active and healthy.

The idea is to do them in the same way as high-intensity interval exercises or HIIT, that is, a powerful exercise for one minute resting another minute.

But if you do not have time to do repetitions, simply incorporate some exercises into your daily routine to help your body stay in shape. Also, this will compensate in some way the days that you can not (or do not feel like) going to the gym.

Attentive, because you will be surprised to know the number of one-minute exercises you can do in routine situations of your day to day.

In the bathroom in front of the sink: before taking a shower, take a minute to do squats or squats. You will work your legs and glutes and you will hardly notice the time.
While combing your hair: Practice lateral leg lifts, tone glutes, and hips.
One minute going up and down stairs: Exactly! If you have stairs at home, use them to the fullest for one minute every day. If you do it at a good intensity, it will be a very effective cardio exercise.
While you’re in the back row: Take advantage of those occasions when you have to wait in the bank, the super or the bus to work calves. Standing, start to get on tiptoe going up and down. It is a fantastic exercise! Remember to stretch your legs before and after to avoid injuries.

Exercises while watching TV: Instead of throwing yourself on the couch without doing anything, take the opportunity to move your body a bit while watching your favorite series, doing squats, sit-ups, legs, push-ups …
Waking exercises: We recommend these exercise routines to be done in bed upon awakening that will not take more than a couple of minutes and will help you start the day with energy.
Bicycle on the carpet: Maybe at some time of the day you like to throw yourself on the carpet. Get on your back and take the opportunity to do some cycling with your legs.
Weights while cooking: Are you going to cook rice? Take the opportunity to make a pair of weights with two bags of rice or similar for one minute before putting on paella. For example, you can do one of these 10 dumbbell back exercises for a minute. That easy!
In your facial cleansing and hydration routine: Our face also needs to exercise to stay young and toned. In facial cleansing in the morning or at night, take the opportunity to do this complete routine of anti-wrinkle facial exercises. With one minute of exercises will suffice.
Exercises while you work: Believe it or not, you can also take advantage of working time to exercise. For example, you can do crunches while sitting at the computer or these exercises to tone legs while you work. In addition to taking the time to tone up your body, you will avoid the famous ‘backside of office worker’.

How about? As you can see, you can exercise effectively at different times of the day in just one minute. Remember, make the most of the time and stay active.
