  5. The target market for my grand opening will be potential brides, grooms, and clients looking for other event planning and design. I will also invite vendors from my vendor list and past clients.

  7. Biography… Mandy Gartrellis a 36 year old who lives in Glen Rose, Texas with her husband of thirteen years, Brandon. They have two children, Aiden and Conner. Mandy graduated from Glen Rose High School in 1995 and went on to study Psychology and Religious studies. In her senior year at Tarleton State University, Mandy decided to pursue Art, instead or Psychology. During this transition in her life, she married Brandon, and she began working as a dental assistant. Two years later she left dental assisting and began orthodontic assisting and lab work. Today she continues to work for an Orthodontist making retainers. In 2009, Mandy was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. “This was a scary time in my life. I had to put weddings and parties on the backburner, so I could take care of myself.” After five surgeries, six rounds of chemo, and multiple hospital stays, cancer is a thing of the past. Mandy is ready to once again pursue what she loves…wedding and event planning and design. She has received her certification as a Wedding/Event Planner from the Wedding Planning Institute, and she is ready to apply all she has learned from this career enhancement. Mandy is active at First Baptist Church, Glen Rose. She credits her faith for shaping her into the person she is today. She also enjoys volunteering at her boy’s schools, shopping, and cooking. “I am ready for what the future holds for me in the wedding/event business. I am so excited to be back in the business and cannot wait for the next event. I am proud of my accomplishment through my certification. Taking the Wedding/Event Planner course has been valuable and taught me another dimension to this business. I feel ready and prepared to handle weddings and events of all sizes and budgets.”

  21. My Brand… The Pink Tulip Wedding and Event Survival with a Smile! Being a Breast Cancer Survivor is a huge motivating factor for me to become certified and start this business. My business name has a lot of significance and meaning. The pink represents me being a survivor. The tulip is my favorite flower, and it is the one of the few flowers that continues to grow after it has been cut. Again, I find meaning and significance in this. My brand is quirky and fun and laced with meaning. I will put my brand on breast cancer ribbons and ask that guests wear them throughout the evening. No matter what happens in life, I can always find a reason to smile!!!
