Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:
“Laurie is hardworking, kind, and extremely attentive to details. We loved meeting with her and having her by our side on our big day! The best feeling was waking up on the morning of our wedding knowing that I could relax and enjoy the day, and that Laurie had our back. She created a detailed timeline for each of the vendors and seamlessly coordinated timing, people, and decorations. We did not have to troubleshoot or manage anything on our big day. It was so reassuring having her there; she even helped my maids of honor bustle my dress. Thank you so much, Laurie!” – E.D.
It is because of excellent reviews like this that Everyday Details is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!
Not Your Average Event Planning Company
We were excited to learn all about Everyday Details and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Laurie Mantegari. Laurie has been in the industry for over 30 years and wanted to give a shoutout to her husband, Mitchell Donahue, who she said is a huge part of the company.
The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Everyday Details stand apart from its competitors. Laurie told us:
“I really honestly care about the person in front of me and their event. It’s their day and their event. That’s why my company isn’t named after me; it’s named after what I believe is important. I am going to try to help out whoever I am working with to give them what they want. I am trying to save people time and money, and save them from stress.”
Laurie told us a bit about why she does what she does and how she works to help others:
“A lof the time people have legitimate stress and need help, that’s why I help them. Helping people is what keeps me going. I am in the business of happiness. Life can be really tough for people, so I keep that in mind… When I put a smile on someone’s face, I get to go home with one on mine. I try to provide an act of kindness for someone every day.”
We asked Laurie about the Everyday Details business mission, and she described it as:
“Every company has to have a mission. Ours is: ‘Everyday Details is a professional event planning company providing quality customer service throughout all aspects of planning when assisting our customers. We help design and produce a one-of-a-kind event while creating lasting memories. We specialize in attention to detail and listening to our client’s vision because the details matter.’”
Building Success And Giving Back
In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Everyday Details has spread the word about who they are and what they do by networking and finding ways to give back to the community.
“I am really connected, and I nurture my relationships. I try, at least once a month, to meet one or two people I have never worked with before. That, or I will reach out to people that I haven’t talked with for a long time and reconnect with them. I find that people feel they are forgotten about, and I try to let them know that they aren’t. I give people handwritten notes, thank you cards, and gift packages. I like letting people know that someone cares about them; that is what people want, we are all human.”
Laurie told us that they have also worked with Big Brothers//Big Sisters, the Seacoast Science Center, Sipping for Seals, Scarecrows of the Port, historical societies, and various chambers. After events, they also take flowers to senior living facilities to both decorate and hand flowers out to residents. Laurie said:
“You have to find ways to give back where you can.”
There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Everyday Details has managed to. We asked if Laurie could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:
“People like to work with people who help people. Take time to listen to others, and do your best to help them. If you cannot help, lead them to someway to help them. I will reach out to a contact to help somebody else.”
Congratulations to Everyday Details for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Laurie for taking the time to speak with us!
