In 2006 I embarked on a new adventure...becoming a mom. This blog is about the pregnancy, aspects of life afterward, starting my life in a new role as mommy...and anything else in between.

This is a quick post to let everyone know that I've started my own event planning business. I have a lot more to write about including my Golden Globes fashion recap, but for now, I'd like to let you all know about my new business. I'm still going to continue working towards getting my license as a marriage and family therapist, but I want to see if I can make this business work. I've been wanting to start it for a long time and I finally got the umph! to do it after doing a large presentation last Friday on planning ethnic weddings.

My new company is called Events by Shefali and I'm open for business! I'm specializing in ethnic weddings but can plan any event.

If you or anyone you know is planning an event and would like help, I would love the referral. I've been planning events on a personal level for 10 years. I have experience planning large and small events, including: theme parties, birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers, weddings and their related events (mehendis, sangeets, garbas), bachelorette/bachelor parties, baptisms, and parties to celebrate religious events (i.e., Diwali parties). Most of you have been to events I have planned so you've seen my work. I've also posted pictures here of weddings I've planned.

I'm available on different levels as well. I can serve as a full event planner (planning any and all aspects, calling all vendors, making all arrangements); as a day-of event manager (show up on the day of the event and make sure all vendors are on time, etc.); or as a consultant (meaning the host can call me for ideas, obtain vendor referrals, etc.).

Right now I am trying to build my portfolio so I am offering to plan events at a discounted hourly rate . I do not have a website yet but I'm working on it. Here is my email address if you are interested in hiring me: eventsbyshefali@yahoo.com. I'm not going to post my phone number because this is public, but if you email me with information and your phone number, I will happily call you back.

Spread the word! Thanks!
