Oh My Gosh....You're an event planner - you must LOVE your job!
As a matter of fact, I do love my job. I get that alot when people ask what I do for a living. It sounds so glamorous and chic...and it kind of is to an extent, but there is A LOT of hard and stressful work involved. You have to be OK getting dirty, you have to be able to channel Martha Stewart every now and then, and you have to LOVE (and I mean passionately love) details!
I was thrown into the world of events & weddings not knowing anything other than they took a lot of attention to detail, which I was good at. Now adays they are degrees for event planning, which is amazing! Still, the degrees don't prepare you for exactly what goes on behind the scenes, the stress, the clients, the doing a million things all at once, which is why I am a strong advocate of educating our up-and-coming event and wedding designers through internships. I'm so lucky to have several interns on staff right now. They are all so eager and green - it's a wonderful opportunity for them to learn, and it's so self gratifying to me to be able to share my passion with future eventistas (yep, I just made that word up)!
If you are interested in becoming an intern, we do have 1 summer internship open. Read on down to find out more. Now, let me take a moment to introduce you to a few future event extraordinaires...
Meet Victoria! Victoria Villines
Internship Spring/Fall 2012 Victoria is from Harrison, Arkansas and will be graduating in May 2014 with a degree in Hospitality and Event Planning and a minor in Business with an emphasis in entrepreneurship. With her degree, she has high hopes of owning her own business (my kind of gal). The store Kleinfeld’s has given her the dream to own her very own Bridal Boutique or dress venue. Anything bridal, decorating or designing, are things that Victoria is interested in. Her hobbies are very broad. She loves anything outdoors; hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing, she loves to read, bake and as weird as it sounds she loves to clean (which you have to do a lot of in event planning). Victoria is a very organized person so everything has to be orderly with her. Everything has a specific place and note on it to tell what it is and what should be done with it. She has a large family with 3 sisters and 1 brother, 5 of them all together. Family is a very important part of Victoria's life and she attributes the person that she is today to her family.
Hello Miss Courtney! Courtney Peachey Internship Spring/Fall 2012 Her name is Courtney Peachey. She too is a Student at Arkansas Tech University and plans on graduating with a Bachelors in Marketing and Management in May of 2013. She enjoys spending time with friends and family, traveling, running, shopping, and sitting home on a Friday night watching "Say Yes to the Dress" with her mom! God is Courtney's number one and as far as her plans for the future go, she plans on letting Him lead and seeing where He takes her! Courtney has always been interested in event planning and absolutely loves weddings, so interning at the barn is a dream for her! And we're so glad to have her on board!
Introducing Karly! Karly Denkhaus Internship Summer 2012 Karly Denkhaus is a marketing and psychology double major at the University of Notre Dame (yep, she's foreigner...ha, ha but we LOVE you Karly) and will graduate in May 2013. She works as a research assistant studying the psychology of morality and as a teaching assistant while at school. Outside interests and hobbies include anything outdoors, especially hiking, fishing, and camping, attending country music concerts, playing or watching various sports, and generally trying to soak up as much sun as possible. I asked Karly why she wanted to be an event planner when I interviewed her and I absolutely loved her answer. She said when professionals come to speak to them at school, the event planners are always the happiest of them all. I think that is a great way to pick a profession! Be happy in what you do and you'll never work a day in your life!!

Our interns do many things in preparations for events/weddings and photoshoots. They attend meetings, they iron linens, they clean glassware, they get to talk to brides and in the end, they will all get to style a shoot of their very own (under our direction of course). That is a very important and unique piece of experience our interns will get to walk away with. We love them all like cute cuddly puppies we want to keep, but know that we will one day have let them go to a new home :o(
Ok, that's my analogy anyway....don't laugh!!!
