Founded in 2000 on a part-time basis, when we were asked to help with the planning of a Wedding...we LOVED it so much and got so many requests In the Pink Ink and Fawcett Productions, LLC had to be started.

We are a full-time EVENT PLANNING business designed to meet the needs of the ever changing social world. Waltham, Massachusetts is our current home with plans to expand in the fall of 2011 to locations in the Cape Cod and Cape Ann areas.

Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to exceeding those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals.

Our approach to Event Planning isn't cookie cutter by any means.

Meticulous detail & organization is incorporated, as clients would expect, but a strong focus on building relationships and thinking outside the box.

WE ARE NOT florists, stationary store, venue locations, hotel, caterers, DJ or limo drivers etc... BUT, we have exceptional relationships with exclusive vendor we just mentioned. This will without a doubt save you money, time and frustration by securing these outstanding vendors while providing impeccable service!

Thank you for considering us for your upcoming event. This is our 10 year in business and we have established a reputation for quality and excellence.

We look forward to showing you that it is well deserved.

Our organic caterers will let you Eat Well and Be Merry with organic beverages and signature cocktails. We work with our florist to find blooms that are in season in order to avoid the financial and environmental cost of transporting out-of-state items.

While all this may seem overwhelming, “greening” a wedding is a lot simpler than you think. Here are 14 ideas that can turn your white wedding …green:


1. RINGS When choosing your ring think about conflict-free diamonds and recycled metals or visit www.reenkarat.com


2. YOUR DRESS When buying your dress, consider natural fibers at fair-trade factories, rent your gown or purchase it from a shop that donates a percentage to charity.


3. REGISTRY Register for organic cottons and energy efficient appliances or create a ‘charitable giving registry’ where a portion of sales is donated to your charity of choice.


4. INVITATIONS Work with refined recycled or tree-free invitations and printed with vegetable inks or elegantly designed e-invitations


5. VENUE Stage your celebration in a neutral and natural setting like a park, beach or garden versus a grand reception hall.


6. DÉCOR Find companies that have biodegradable or recycled event décor


7. TRANSPORTATION Arrive in style and luxury with ingeniously manufactured hybrid limousine and car services.


8. GIFTS/FAVORS Create elegant gifts for your guests with organic and eco-conscious products.


9. FOOD Hire top chefs to prepare delicious, organic food down to the last eco detail using banana sticks to replace wasteful wooden skewers.


10. WASTE All surplus food should either be composted or, donated to charitable organizations


11. RENTALS Reduce the carbon footprint with rental and catering trucks that run on vegetable oil or bio-fuel


12. PHOTOGRAPHY Capture the essence of every moment by working with leading eco conscious wedding photographers. Have your photographer print your images on recycled paper or create an online wedding album


13. HONEYMOON Pay for carbon offsets or allow- The Leading Hotels of the World to make a donation for you. If you book your reservation through their website lhwgreen.com, they help to make your stay carbon neutral by purchasing offsets for their guests. You can also visit greenhotels.com for a list of conscientious resorts and hotels around the world.


14. WEDDING PLANNER If you are not planning your own wedding, find a creative wedding planner who is able to bring your dreams to life through their knowledge and sensitivity for the environment.

7 Questions to Ask before YOU Hire an Event Planner!

Before you sign a contract with an event planner or event management firm, there are some obvious questions to ask, including:

What will you do for us?
How much will you charge?
What other events have you managed?

But, don’t stop there. Before you entrust your wedding and its brand identity to a professional event planner, you’ll want to dig a little deeper. Ideally, the person or company you choose will be highly qualified, easy to work with, and will always protect your bottom line and best interests.

Following are seven questions you should ask:

Experience & Qualifications
1) How long have you been in the wedding and event business?

Some people will quote you the “total combined years of experience of their staff.” In event management, teamwork is everything, and you should know how long your prospective team has been in place.

2) What professional certifications do you hold/professional education have you had?

In the past decade, the visibility of the event management field has grown by leaps and bounds. The number of people who suddenly wake up one morning and say, “I want to be an event planner”, is astounding. Today there are university degree programs in event management and also well respected certification programs in the industry. Asking about these differentiators will help you determine the planner’s true qualifications.

Working Relationship & Processes
3) Who will be my key contact?

You may love your account rep/salesperson, but oftentimes that person steps out of the loop once the contract is in. Ideally, clients should get to know their key contact prior to signing a contract.

4) What is your project management process?

The objective with this question is to get a behind-the-scenes understanding for what happens once you sign that contract. You need to know who will handle each aspect of the planning and execution process, what systems are in place to establish and meet deadlines, and what checks and balances are used to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Dollars, Cents & Safeguards
5) What procedures do you have in place to effectively manage my budget and ensure my wedding will receive the best pricing from all vendors?

Your event planner/firm should have your wedding's budget and bottom line in mind at all times.

They should be able to clearly explain their negotiation strategy and budgeting process.

6) What insurance do you have in place?

Event planners should maintain insurance that covers commercial liability, professional liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation.

7) What is your on site crisis management planning process?

If a crisis were to happen on site, all eyes will turn to your event team. Your event planner/firm should have a process in place to address emergencies from all angles, and they should be able to provide you with sample copies of those plans.
