Local Business Introductions

[Rachael]

Hello, fellow business people!

This board looks so empty...let's get it started with some introductions, shall we?

My name is Rachael, and I'm the co-owner of Glass Slipper Weddings and Events, LLC. We're a full service event planning company specializing in unique weddings, hard-to-find vendors, and themed parties. As planners, we help our clients with anything they need to create their dream party: we advise on etiquette, help them devise a budget, create to-do timelines, negotiate prices with vendors, provide ideas for decorations and favors, and even run things from "behind the scenes" on the day of the event.

We have a website at www.GlassSlipperWeddings.com which explains more about what we can do and shows a little of our past work.

So...what do you all do? Are any of you members of other networking groups? Any advice for a new business owner in the Matawan area?

[Bayshore Brawlers]

Hi, my name is Jake.... and I am the Director of Marketing/Public Relations for the Bayshore Brawlers. Not a paying job, but I just graduated High School and make my money doing various odd jobs besides this.

Well, I basically go around writing press releases, look for media outlets, and really anything else you can think of that can be done for a budget of $0. We have been quite sucessful though having been mentioned in newspapers, internet sites, and now radio.

Our website is www.bayshorebrawlers.com and in about aweek it will have A LOT more information and look a lot better. We play semi-pro football ( no player is payed) in the PFL/6. Basically, it's like arena football, but played in the burning heat of July and August. There is also no kicking. As the Director I am looking to try to get more involved with community as the years go by.

Well that's my story..... who is next?
