It can be overwhelming selecting a caterer for your big day. How many people, what type of menu and what whether to do buffet or sit down! Pauline Parry, founder of Good Gracious! Events understands how difficult this decision can be and has ten points that will make selecting your caterer a stress-free success! 1. Choose a menu that reflects your taste, but is not too extreme for your guests to eat. This is the first time that you are hosting as a married couple, so make considerations for your guests when planning the menu. 2.

By Aaron Kaniecki, Associate Event Producer It has nearly been two years since I started at Good Gracious! Events , and in that short space of time I have had the fortune of working some majestic events, meet some amazing people, and worked with the best in the business. If it wasn�t for Good Gracious! President Pauline Parry, I wouldn�t be in the position I am today. Pauline saw something in me that was worth going through the highs and lows of immigration to bring me onto the GG! team. If it wasn�t for her I would not be in the industry I love. If it wasn�t for her I wouldn�t of met my wife to be Brianne, and if it wasn�t for her taking me under her wing, I wouldn�t be nominated for the Event Solutions Spotlight Award for Rising Star Male. I owe so much to such an amazing mentor, who has single handedly changed the direction of my life. Needless to say my industry progression wouldn�t be to the standard it is now without the support of the fantastic Good Gracious! Events team. ...
