Homemade Floral Arrangement

Our friend, and caterer extraordinaire, Teresa Howard created this floral arrangement using flowers and greens from her own yard. Well Done Centerpiece.

Make a Seating Plan and Make it Beautiful

Yes, you could print name tags on your computer or just tell your guests to,"sit over there". Or you could buy some lovely, thick, creamy paper write their names with your best handwriting, draw a personal icon, and create a seating chart. Much, Much better.

Summer In The City

Ahhh…summertime in Seattle, it’s what we all wait for and, let’s be honest; it’s why we all live here. Summer in this city is like one long party, except for the years when the temperature doesn’t go above 60 degrees, but let’s not think about that.

Carol and I are putting together a summer party on August 13th and if you become a Well Done Events Facebook friend you’ll be invited—lucky you. As we and our husbands were all members of the Class of ’79, we’ve decided to celebrate. Which brings me to this, if you are planning a party this summer, send out a SAVE THE DATE EMAIL, NOW! If you don’t, half of your friends will not be able to make it. That’s right your friends are already busy planning their weekend camping trips, their work parties, their trips back east, all of it. Get your party on their calendar now.


A bunch of online invitation services make this easy to do. Check-out Evite, and Paperless Post. These services track attendance, remind your guests about the party a week in advance, and you can include all kinds of details like directions, what to bring, you name it. We hope we see at our party on August 13th. ~Rebecca

Location, Location, Location

It's true, the location can make or break an event. The production value and overall success of your event is often dependent on the space in which you gather. Think of it as the canvas, and the remaining elements as the paint.


Combing the internet for event spaces does not translate into finding the right venue. Sure, you'll get a list of who's renting what and where, but knowing if a specific space is right for you, is the key. With years of experience scouting and managing events on location, we have the skills to hear what you want and then deliver you the right location. Beyond knowing what a venue must have to be successful, we're pros at assessing what will really work within a space, regardless of what a vendor posts; for instance, how many people fit comfortably, and not jammed in--the list is long.


As we personally scout new venues and meet with vendors regularly, our rolodexes are updated with the tried and true. That's what you want--the most reliable, up-to-date information. And as our client, we deliver you the very best recommendations that are within your budget.


Got an event? Need a space? Who ya gonna call? ~ Carol

Seattle Aquarium...A Great Venue

Man, last week was busy. Carol and I were out "scouting" locations like maniacs. We attended the Seattle Chamber Food Festival at the aquarium and, although the food was pretty good, the space is what we were focusing on. If you are ever having a party with 300 guests or more, this is the spot. The renovation happened a few years ago, but because my kids are no longer toddlers it means I NEVER go to the aquarium anymore and had not seen the improvements. It's really gorgeous and, to boot, fish are everywhere.
