Cyndi Swan
I chose this career path because
My parents were both artistic, creative people who passed on their creative energy to me. I started my business while I was working in a candy store on the Cape, where the owner let me grow his stationery department. I soon after found that my passion was helping people - especially people who were getting married! They needed anything from announcements and invitations to napkins and place cards. I enjoyed helping them so much that I wanted to help with all their needs, I became a certified event planner, and so that I could literally help them tie the knot, I became ordained as a Non Denominational Minister. I love helping people to do things the right way, and I love the one on one connection that I have with each of my customers.
I prepared for this career by
I have always been artistically inclined and creative and I do have a great knowledge of textures and colors. I am a certified by the Universal Monastery as an Ordained Non-Denominational Minister. Additionally, I am a Certified Wedding Specialist through Weddings Beautiful World Wide.
The biggest challenge I've overcome
Spreading the word that I am here. While I started my business in someone else's store, I set up a small home based operation that has moved from the backroom, to a beautiful office addition in my home. The challenges of being a home based business in a residential neighborhood are tough.

What/Who has inspired me the most
It is the watching the people who come to me without a clue on how to do things the right way and taking them through from beginning to end and having them wind up with an event that exceeds their expectations and is in total compliance with all the rules of etiquette to pull off that perfect day and give them beautiful memories.
