As dedicated marketing and events professionals in Northern Colorado, we are thrilled to share the incredible success of The Family Center-La Familia’s recent Fiesta Party, which took place at The Lyric on Saturday, September 23. This community fundraiser was a true testament to the power of collective action, and it not only brought people together, but it also raised over $40,000 to support The Family Center’s vital work. Setting the Stage The Lyric was the perfect venue for this festive event. Its eclectic charm matched the colorful and vibrant celebration. The Lyric prides itself on its commitment to fostering community connections, and it was the ideal choice for The Family Center’s event. As a business that often collaborates with nonprofits to expand their presence through events and campaigns, we were impressed with The Lyric’s ability to resonate with the event’s mission. The Fiesta Experience The Fiesta Party was an unforgettable experience, filled with live music provided by Salsa Forte, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere. The music and vibe inspired guests to dust off their dancing shoes and join the musical fun. Raising Over $40,000 One of the most remarkable aspects of this event was its fundraising success. Our dedicated team worked hard with The Family Center staff to curate an extensive silent auction display that inspired guests to bid on packages that included artwork from local artists, local brews and wines, and fun experiences. The Family Center surpassed their fundraising goal, raising over $40,000, through the silent auction, live auction, and paddle raise. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved, from the event organizers to donors who opened their hearts and wallets to support a worthy cause. The Impact We understand the importance of not only raising funds but also expanding a nonprofit’s presence in the community. The Family Center’s Fiesta Party achieved both of these objectives. Not only did it provide critical financial support, but it also increased awareness of The Family Center’s mission and the important role it plays in our community. We were inspired by the success of this event and proud to be the planning partners for the festivities. Events like the Fiesta Party serve as a reminder that when we unite for a common cause, we can achieve remarkable results that benefit us all.

A Bridge to Forever Onf of the standout features of this unforgettable day was the breathtaking bridge constructed by the bride’s Father, over the family’s sparkling backyard swimming pool. This picturesque bridge served as the aisle, creating a beautiful path towards the future for the newly married couple. The wedding was officiated by the bride’s brother, and the couple exchanged their vows under a beautiful tree decorated with flowers and flowing fabric. As Savannah and Connor exchanged their promises, surrounded by flowers and the serene waters, it was impossible not to be swept away by the sheer romance of it all. Mariachi Magic Immediately following the ceremony, guests were invited to visit over tasty cocktails and passed appetizers while being serenaded by the lively tunes of a Mariachi band - adding a touch of tradition and irresistible energy to the evening! This added a special element of fun to the entire evening! An Evening of Elegance The reception was equally beautiful and special! Guests dined and danced in a tent adorned with delicate chandeliers and twinkling lights - transforming the backyard into a beautifully lit wonderland. The food was beautifully catered and presented, the wine was flowing, and the music and speeches were heartfelt and entertaining. A Sparkler Send-Off As the night drew to a close, Savannah and Connor’s grand exit was nothing short of spectacular! Guests formed a shimmering pathway of sparklers, creating a dazzling tunnel of light for the newlyweds. The joy and love in the air were palpable as the couple made their way through this radiant send off. This special backyard wedding was more than just a celebration - it was a testament to love, commitment, and the power of high school sweethearts turned life partners. Congratulations to Savannah and Connor! BIG DEAL Company was honored to be a part of their BIG DAY! May their love story continue to be as beautiful and inspiring as this remarkable day!

We support MANY out-of-state couples on all of the delicate details. This family was another success story of long distance planning so a dreamy mountain wedding could happen - and make dreams come true! "I don’t even know where to begin. And I don’t think I have the words to adequately convey our appreciation for all you and your staff have done to make our wedding day a success! From our first in person meeting in March, we left with such a sense of calm, we realized then that this just might be ok. But it was more than ok, much more. You always made Gretchen feel as if she were your only client. You answered her emails and phone calls quickly, which alleviated the ever looming anxiety. You answered my many emails (sorry, for all of them) in the blink of an eye. And, you were there to calm me down when a vendor brought me to tears. No matter what ideas we came up with, you had the perfect professional way of telling us yes, great idea, or gently guiding us away from maybe not such a great idea. Always with Gretchen’s best interest at the forefront. Kathy. What can I really say. I did not cry at all on Saturday. Ok. When I saw my girl dance with her dad, I did cry. But at the end of the evening (and even as I write this) I shed tears of joy. But those tears were also because I saw how hard you and your team worked to make my daughter’s night a success. From the rehearsal, to during the day on Saturday, then to the reception, you were professional, calm, caring and always had a smiling on your face. From making sure carpet placements were perfect to making sure our guests were taken care of to cleaning up at the end if the evening, you worked tirelessly to make sure that we worried about nothing. Even my brother, who is oblivious to a lot of things, commented on you and your team. The work you and your team provided is the reason our evening was so successful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for working so incredibly hard. Thank you for making us feel that our day mattered as much to you as it did to us (and it showed in your interactions with all of us). Thank you for creating for us the memories of a lifetime." -JeanMarie, mother of the bride Congratulations Gretchen + AndrewThe Wedding Magic Makers: Rentals: Primary Event Rentals Venue: YMCA Estes Park Music: Suit & Tie DJs Event Planning: BIG DEAL Company Hair/Make-Up: Bridal Glow Salon & Spa Photography: Sarah Lee Welch Photography Florist: Fanciful Florals As a collective of experts, BIG DEAL Company specializes in creativity.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, modify, create derivative works, or in any other way exploit any part of our materials without the prior written permission from My Big Day LLC In a world where attention spans are shrinking, and competition is fiercer than ever, capturing the attention of your target audience is a monumental challenge. We understand the significance of creating excitement around your brand, products, or services. Read on for seven ways to generate buzz for your small business. Why is generating buzz so crucial for small businesses, you may wonder? Beyond merely attracting customers, it cultivates brand loyalty, fosters word-of-mouth marketing, and amplifies your online and offline presence. Word-of-mouth marketing relies on MEANINGFUL connections – people who had a great experience with your product or service, other small business owners seeking mutual support, and customers who return again and again. Here’s how to create and foster those meaningful connections. Create Loyal Customers Creating loyal customers starts with providing a top-notch experience. A good reputation and community trust are essential for a small business, so aim to deliver excellence every time. Focus on what you do best, and deliver it to get people talking. Solicit feedback (good or bad) from customers, to figure out where you excel and learn from your mistakes. Network with Other Business Owners Owning a small business is not for the faint of heart, and most small businesses will happily support yours. Join local chambers and in-person or online groups for resources. Build mutually beneficial relationships with other businesses related to yours; Maybe they can recommend clients to you in exchange for a small discount, and vice versa. Industry influencers are people who are viewed as experts in your industry. Endorsement from anyone with a stellar reputation, established following and loyal clientele is priceless. Look for ways you can connect with industry influencers, whether it’s a handshake at an industry event or interacting with their content on social media. Follow Up Good service doesn’t end when a purchase is complete or a contract fulfilled. No customer or client wants to feel like a number on your business’s balance sheet. Good follow-up can create loyal customers and give you feedback you can use to promote your business. Consider:
Provide Incentives When your business is new or feels stagnant, you may need to provide incentives to get positive word-of-mouth going. A little bribery goes a long way in getting people to try out your products and services (so they can tell others how amazing their experience was!) Even satisfied customers need a nudge sometimes. Offer a discount on a future purchase or a free small product in exchange for a review on Google or a shoutout on social media. For certain businesses, a referral program can be a great way to find new clients while rewarding current customers for spreading the word about your services. Use Social Media (effectively) Social media allows you to keep your business at the forefront of potential customers’ minds when you publish quality content on a regular schedule. However, to get the most out of it, you need to engage with your audience. Platforms like Facebook give you the ability to target specific audiences who may find your product or service useful with paid advertisements. We see many small businesses make the mistake of trying to save a few dollars by not promoting their content on social media. We encourage small business owners to think of this spending as an investment, where a few dollars a month could mean tens of thousands of people learning about your business. To build meaningful relationships on social media, engage with those who engage with your business. Respond to messages right away. Engage with comments on your posts. If another business gives you a shoutout, feature it on your page, and return the favor. Interact with other businesses in your industry through groups and by following their pages and engaging with posts to show your support. Host an Event Any time it makes financial sense to host a small event for your business – whether it’s a ribbon cutting, grand opening, new product launch, rebranding, holiday party, or customer appreciation cocktail hour – do it! Seeing potential and current customers in person gives you the chance to make a lasting impression, and a memorable event is something they will associate with your business forever. In addition, events give you the opportunity to build anticipation and create a conversation about your business online and in print leading up to the event. Certain business events are promoted and/or covered by local chambers, downtown business associations, business publications, and news outlets, giving you valuable advertising for your business. Give Back Make your small business visible by getting out in your community. Sponsor a nonprofit event to get your name and logo out there, have your team spend a day volunteering with a local organization instead of sitting in the office, or even host your own fundraising event for a cause. Not only does giving back in your community increase your business’s visibility, it tells your audience what’s important to you and differentiates you from your competition. More than ever, Americans are supporting businesses that champion social causes. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur launching your dream venture or an established small business looking to revitalize your presence, our team of diverse, seasoned marketing experts has got you covered. At Big Deal Company, we have a passion for empowering small businesses to reach their fullest potential, because we believe every client is a big deal. Our expertise spans a wide range of industries, and we are committed to equipping you with the tools and knowledge needed to conquer the ever-evolving marketing landscape.

We’re here to simplify the process. Enjoy these tips and considerations for your next tent event. Size of the Venue This seems simple enough but is often overlooked. You’ll need space that accommodates not only the square footage of your tent but also room for the tent staking and space to allow your guests to move in and out safely. Number of Guests Nobody wants to have to sit on the lap of their neighbor while watching the bride and groom dance. Keep your guest list in mind when selecting the right size tent. When in doubt, go for the larger size just in case. Location and Weather You’ve spent a lot of time planning your event, don’t let mother nature be your first and last guest. Should the weather turn stormy will there be room for everyone to stay dry? Is it a particularly windy area that might call for extra tent staking? Consider the time of year and location and plan ahead when selecting your tent. The Vision It’s your party and it should have your flair. Whether this means twinkle lights, classic place settings, and roses or a DJ booth, dance floor, and disco ball your vision matters. Most tent rental companies can accommodate an array of requests if you ask. Feeding the Masses Factor in space for feeding your guests. If you’re serving buffet style you’ll need room for long tables, for sit-down you’ll need tables to seat the eaters. Consider where the food will be held and served and be sure to accommodate both the guests and the food providers. Even if you’re just planning snacks and a bar, put aside space. Final Considerations You’ve done it…you have your venue, guest list, and menu set. What are some last-minute space takers to consider?
Your party is important, and the tent is often the heart of the event so size appropriately. Remember that Big Deal Company is a click away to help make your event a big success.

We were thrilled to be asked back as event support for the community-centric and summer-favorite Meals on 4th event, benefitting the work and mission of Meals on Wheels of Loveland and Berthoud. Our team of professional event experts worked alongside the Development and Program Directors of this downtown Loveland nonprofit to plan a fabulous evening full of food, fun, and FUNdraising, right in the heart of downtown Loveland! This event takes place entirely outside, in the middle of 4th Street in the city block between Cleveland and Railroad. The planning for this event began back in January when streets were covered with snow and ice. It’s always a little stressful to work around what Mother Nature decides to do, but this year’s event - although smack dab in the middle of our Colorado Monsoons - was met with an absolutely gorgeous late Spring Colorado Day full of sunshine, blue skies, and comfortable temperatures! This event captured the essence of generosity, community spirit, and philanthropy that is so prevalent in the Loveland and Berthoud communities. It was a huge success - surpassing Meals on Wheels’ fundraising goals, and bringing people from all walks of life together to support such a worthy cause! Guests celebrated in style! Meals on Wheels of Loveland and Berthoud is celebrating 55 years of service in Southern Larimer County. Their year-long celebration was weaved throughout this event, boasting an atmosphere of a 1950s/1960s soda shop diner. Our team of event planners and the Meals on Wheels volunteers worked some decorative magic, creating an enchanting ambiance with period decorations and flair. Each table was adorned with a checkerboard runner, real vinyl records, and floral arrangements designed to look like ice cream sundaes! Guests were encouraged to dress up in period costumes, and musical guests, The Steve Manshel Trio set the mood with period tunes from the 1950s and 1960s. A True Expression of Community This unique fundraising event is built on a large amount of community involvement. Guests are treated to a multi-course meal, with each course provided by a different local restaurant and drinks donated by local breweries and bars.We were honored to serve alongside the following Restaurant and Brewery Partners:
The event program focused on stories of hope and inspiration - told by a longtime Meals on Wheels Volunteer and Executive Director, Jeffrey Pomranka. To further boost the evening’s fundraising efforts, local auctioneers led a special Heads or Tails game where attendees competed to win a special Date Night Air BnB package that included an overnight stay at a Downtown Arts District Bungalow and local restaurant and drink gift cards. The evening concluded with a very successful Paddle Raise, collecting $23,600 in support of Meals on Wheels food and programs! Thanks to the collective efforts of Mother Nature, the organization, vendors, volunteers, and the generosity of the community, Meals on 4th exceeded all expectations! The success of the evening will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the ability of Meals on Wheels to make a difference in the lives of more homebound individuals - feeding and supporting our community for generations to come!
