We {HEART} Our Staff


This weekend, Special Occasions celebrated their employees with a year end holiday celebration at the Fenton Winery & Brewery, located in Fenton, Michigan. It was a fun filled night of dinner, drinks, and playing casino games for a chance to win fun, little prizes at the end of the night. And, if the amount of laughter coming from our group was any indication, I'd say that everyone had a fabulous time.

Thanks to everyone who made this year great and to our staff, who we are so very lucky to have.

Here's just a little peek into what the night consisted of. . .


Side note: the food at the FWB is AMAZING!!


Here's to 2015!

Special Occasions Supports Making a Difference!

In two weeks The Hero Round Table conference will be setting up shop in Flint's cultural center and Special Occasions is happy to jump on board with the planning. We believe in this conference because this conference embodies the positive changes that we would like to see in our own neighborhoods, schools and local businesses. 

So, what is the Hero Round Table? The Hero Round Table is a conference set up to teach everyday people how to make a positive difference in their own lives and the lives of those around them. The conference seeks to teach the skills needed to stand up for what is right, take action to help others and learn how to create a positive environment around us by giving back. Conference goers will be able to listen to inspiration stories from everyday people who found themselves in a negative situation and who found the courage to stand up for what was right, even when they were standing alone. We will also be listening to real life accounts of heroism in the school system, television and movies, athletes and in corporate America. The uplifting and motivational thoughts presented at this conference are indispensable for our communities, our schools, our businesses and our own lives.

 We urge you to join us at the 2nd annual Hero Round Table conference on September 19th & 20th at The Whiting Auditorium in Flint, MI. 

We look forward to seeing you there! For more information or to purchase your tickets visit www.theheroroundtable.com.

Closing Out Another Amazing Summer with a Bang - Pics From our End of the Season Staff Party


Most of our staff here at Special Occasions are natural born party planners. We love to plan parties, go to parties and sometimes even hosts our own parties. The last one doesn't always happen as much as we'd like it to because we are usually having such a great time planning our clients parties, but at least twice a year we set aside time to throw a party to celebrate our honest and hardworking staff. They are such a great group of people and they all definitely deserve celebration!


This weekend was our end of the summer staff party. We all gathered together, staff and their families, to relax, laugh and just enjoy each other's company. We believe it's important to work hard and play hard. :) It keeps us balanced. 


This end of the season party was a family pool party, complete with a tiki bar and tons of amazing food from Sagebrush Cantina. Boy, was it tasty! Sagebrush is always such a party pleaser with our crew! 


After dinner we all fell into a sugar buzz from the luscious dessert table and even roasted s'mores out by the fire. 
 

Now that we've thanked our staff we'd also like to thank all of you. It is because of those of you who book your own parties with us that we are able to grow and hire these amazing people to work with us. We just can't say it enough that our staff is a family and we are so lucky to have all found each other. Thank you all for another great season and we look to having many more (and possibly adding on new crew/family members) as our company continues to grow. 

Thank you all for your continued support. It means the world to us. :)
