Helping the client with their "to-do" list.

Our motto: "At Well Done Events we start with a consultation so that we can hear, in your own words, what it is you need and expect. From there we can provide complete event planning or we can help with just a few items on your to-do list." It's true, we can do it all or we can do a little. The point is Carol and I listen to what our clients want and need for their event and then we make it happen.


In this case, our client wanted friends to create the floral arrangements for their renewal ceremony. So, we took them flower shopping (and of course passed-on the wholesale discount), helped direct the flower crew and  let them work their magic. The result: Beautiful, heart-felt arrangements; Happy friends working together; And an incredibly Well Done Event. ~Rebecca

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
