No one wants to deal with contracts, clients and vendors when planning their event whether it’s grand or intimate. That’s where we come in. We take the stress out of having to go through several vendors for your event. Come to us with your idea and we will bring it to life! From working with you in finding the right theme to satisfying your guests palettes, we will ensure that your standards are not only met but exceeded. Our founder, Shernelle Charles, graduated from a well-known planning Institute, with mentorship from the renowned Jessica Marin, founder of Dreamality Events. With a visual background from working at Gap Inc. and kitchen experience at Jam Jar Bakery, she created the perfect juxtaposition with food and design. There is no need to stress about details when working with her. Shernelle makes sure that no detail is left unattended to. She is very meticulous and has a keen eye for detail. Her staff is nothing short of that either.

EssayEveryone wants to have their special day be stress free, enjoyable, entertaining but most important, memorable. That’s what Savoury Creations is here for. We believe that as a client you should not be stressed out about your event. Having the necessities for every event under one roof provides a walk in the park experience when planning your event. Savoury Creations not only caters to your planning needs but also gives you the option of choosing us to cater and design your event. Because we cover the three main categories in event planning, people look to us versus other companies who only provide one of the three. We provide services to big and small businesses, participate in a lot of markets and conduct several DIY classes throughout the year. Social media is the new fad now and it helps promote and get the word out there. Savoury Creations can be found on Instagram and Pinterest. We reach a wide variety of followings because we don’t cater to just one category. Our brands page has something for the DIY lovers, foodies and the organizational individuals. We found it very helpful and informative to do pop up workshops throughout the city. Our workshops, which range from cooking classes, DIY classes and classes with tips on how to stay organized, have had participants as young as seven years old to retired elders who still love to stay active. By doing this we stay in touch with our clients and get a chance to show case our work and passion. Our one year goal would be to reach over a thousand followers. We will do this by continuing to participate in markets, host monthly events and cater to nonprofit organizations. In five years, we would love to see the company expand and have offices in every borough. We want to make it easy for our clients to reach us and for us to reach them. By ten years we should be fully

19

staffed, have multiple offices and getting ready to take our services oversees. Savoury Creations already has multiple satisfied customers so we are on the right track to becoming even more successful. With our passionate team, we do believe that we will continue to grow and I hope that you would have a chapter in our story.
