Give an Experience for a Wedding Gift

April 4, 2017



It’s wedding season, and couples are sending out their invitations and registry lists filled with pasta makers, vegetable twisters, orange juicers and martini shakers.

I wish I could fast forward couples a few years into the future when they are going crazy with that registry gun to show them working two jobs, caring for a toddler and newborn. And I want to show them hiring me to clean out their kithcen because they realize they don’t use half of the stuff they registered for because they are too busy changing diapers and chasing a two-year-old.

May I suggest giving an experience as a gift instead of MORE STUFF?

My friend Valonda Calloway, who used to host on WNCN here in Raleigh, owns 360 Elite Entertainment with her husband, a DJ company and wedding business, teaching couples to dance and helping them get through their wedding.

She also writes the blog “Behind I Do”, where she gives tips about the big day.

She recently wrote about my friend Pamela Clark, a cooking instructor known as the Thyme Savor, and me, suggesting you give an experience to the couple instead of MORE STUFF.

Check it out her blog post here for Tuesday’s Post.

Leah Friedman
Hello!
I'm a professional organizer in Raleigh, North Carolina, helping people declutter their homes and work spaces.

Testimonials

Leah helped me to organize several spaces in my home that have been on my “to do” list for years. She arrived on time, ready to tackle the projects, and made something I dreaded doing lots of fun! She never judges, is always encouraging and gets the job done in a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend her!

After working with Leah Friedman, the room looked and felt calm, rather than chaotic. When I am overwhelmed again, I will certainly hire her expertise and energy. What an investment in order, calm and piece of mind!

I love the way my master closet looks, and my husband is very happy, too. Thank you so much for helping me through the whole process. I still can’t believe how much work we got done.

Leah Friedman turned a wretched job into fun! It’s true. She even had me laughing. She is worth every penny. We plowed through two closets. They are now nicely organized, and I know where to find my clothes. I even know what I own. Leah hauled about six bags of give-aways to Interact. I heartily recommend Leah. She gets the job done! She a combo of firm, gentle and fun. Just what I needed.
