5 Things to Know About Elegant Event Sitters, Inc.

1. My name is Tish Davis and I am the owner of Elegant Event Sitters, Inc. I am a single mom of 3 girls in the greater Atlanta area. The business was started in 2004 as a way to supplement income from a full time job in payroll(boooooooooring). As a single mom, I was often faced with the dilemma of securing a sitter or simply just staying home. I soon realized that I was not alone! Parents (single or married) invited to adult-only functions need a something to do with their kids and they want the kids to be safe. I love making parents feel at ease and making sure that the kids have a great time with our sitters.

2. All of our sitters are First Aid and CPR certified and have annual background checks. Due to our work with the military, in some states sitters have been through Homeland Security screening. Safety is our number one priority. As a mom, I understand how difficult it is to leave your children in the care of a complete stranger. That is why we go through a strict screening process to make sure that parents are getting the best possible care for their little ones.

3. We’ve gone green! Making sure that the kids are safe goes beyond stranger-danger and boo-boos. Elegant Event Sitters, Inc. wants to make sure that children are protected from toxins and chemicals found in everyday products. I personally hand make all of the laundry detergent for the linens and blankets. Our cleaning supplies are all non-toxic brands. We typically use Mrs. Meyers, Shacklee or Method. Only non-toxic art supplies are use. Paper plates?? Not at our events! We only use reusable dishes and all of our plastics are BPA free.

4. Elegant Event Sitters, Inc. provides child care for all ages. We’ve had children as young as newborns and as old as 16. Age appropriate activities are key when it comes to mixing multiple age groups in one room. We have the parents pre-register their children online so that we know exactly what ages we will be working with at an event.

5. Elegant Event Sitters, Inc. started in Atlanta but has gone national. We’re working from GA to CA and everywhere in between. Nashville is our newest city and we’re hoping to be able to offer all Nashville brides the opportunity to Party in Peace™!

Vendor Spotlight: Front Porch Farms

Are you a bride who is looking for a picturesque setting? Room to roam? An all-inclusive location for both ceremony and reception? Front Porch Farms is your beautiful location located just 40 minutes outside of downtown Nashville! I made the trip out to Front Porch back several months ago and LOVED what I saw! So many ways that you can make the outdoor spaces your own. At this time they have a beautiful stationary tent and pool side setting, but will be creating an enclosed pavilion in the near future to provide a permanent indoor space. Also, one fun note, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert just had their rockin’ engagement party there that our own StudioWed member, Kristyn Hogan shot. There’s some fun images from their party as well below. Enjoy the gorgeous shots and get to know the grounds of Front Porch Farms. You can visit their website, www.frontporchfarmstn.com, to get more information and to set up a walk through with Kathy!

Vendor Spotlight: Jonathon Campbell Photography – Trash The Dress Session

You only wear your wedding gown once, right? Well not anymore! We’ve been seeing all kinds of photographers lately capturing brides who would like to “trash” their dress after their wedding day festivities are over.  Here is a recent couple who decided that they wanted to do just that in downtown Nashville with our very talented Jonathon Campbell. We love the concept of “trashing” your dress with water and in this case, fountains.  Enjoy!

Jonathon did such a great job capturing their excitement!

Gorgeous!!!

So before you hesitate… just remember our great partners, Oakwood Cleaners! They are able to clean, restore and preserve your wedding gown after you’re through “trashing it”:)

Happy Planning! Stop by for a visit – there’s only 7 days left before we give away the Tiffany Champagne Flutes! Call today to set up your appointment so you can enter to win (739-5477).
