Occasions, Event Planners, Inc. is a business based on customer service and cost effectiveness.   In our efforts to create value for our clients, we first determine the client's needs.   Based on the needs, our staff will plan and create the event time lines and production schedules.   Working as a team, utilizing all our resources and expertise, we will manage operations and coordinate all aspects of the event, executing, monitoring, and evaluating every detail down to the final wrap up.   Our well-rounded, highly skilled teams are not divided into Sales and Operations, so our clients will work with one primary contact from event inception through wrap up.   Internally, working as a team, we collaborate on all facets of each event down to the last detail.   This business model provides our clients with exceptional service supported by a superb team, producing successful, outstanding, and customized events and programs to satisfy every entertainment need.   We believe that job performance backed with extraordinary customer service and dedication to customer satisfaction will enable us to build a solid and loyal customer base on which we can build and grow.
