Liz King Events: Social Media Event Planning Specialists

 There is nothing better than meeting people face-to-face so Liz King Events is launching a bi-monthly young professionals gathering and tweet up. I look forward to seeing you there!

This E-Ad was designed by Vivian Jang, a close friend and amazing designer!

During my time in Orlando, I visited Aquatica – Sea World’s new water park. I. LOVE. water parks! From the slides to the wave pool, I could spend an entire vacation at the park. Of all the attractions at the water park though, the lazy river is always my favorite (does that say something about me?). I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to spend an hour or two in the lazy river laying on my inner tube and floating along watching the fish and dolphins (what an amazing experience!) and desperately trying to avoid being soaked by the waterfalls.

While in the water, I noticed a cute, little girl floating along with her mom. Something about her caught my eye and I smiled as I remembered all the special moments I spent in similar places with my parents as a child. As we were going along, I laid my head back and relished the sunlight. When I picked up my head a few minutes later, I noticed that both mom and daughter had fallen asleep in the inner tube and were floating along. I looked up and tried to see if the lifeguard thought anything about it, but he let them slide right on by. Being the worrier that I am, I kept my eye on the two. In a matter of minutes, the woman fell into such a deep sleep that she must have put her weight on one side of the inner tube and she flipped it over – sending both mom and daughter into the freezing water unexpectedly. I jumped off my inner tube, but thankfully the lifeguard got there before me and they were both okay.

In keeping with our “Ask the #Eventprofs” series, here is a question coming from ME that I would love your input on! Got a question you’d like answered? Email it today!

We all make mistakes, but we don’t have to all make the same ones. Are you willing to share one mistake you made and what we can all learn from it?

Any good event planner knows the value of a skilled photographer. When you’re hosting an event, you need someone who will capture all the special moments and emotions. Andres Valenzuela is a friend of mine from college, but he’s also an extremely talented photographer who has a great business plan. Andres’ main focus is weddings, but he then captures the special moments of families as they grow after the wedding. Two years ago, he photographed my sister’s wedding and did such a beautiful job. You can see their wedding photo on his blog. A few weeks ago, he captured my little nephew as we are preparing for his first birthday. I wanted to share the pictures with you so that you can see the difference a photographer makes with their ability to capture personality, feeling and more! I’ve only selected a few pictures here so please see his blog for more!
