Carmel, IN: August 13, 2008 – A new solution is now available for individuals planning events in the Indianapolis Metro area. In response to the growing complexity of organizing major events, four women have formed an alliance of complimentary businesses in Carmel’s Arts & Design District called circle•the•date.

Comprised of event planner Jennifer Farrell Wells, photographer Morgan Matters, floral designer Tiffany Mullen, and graphic designer Heather Lapham Kuhn, circle•the•date hopes to simplify and streamline the event planning process by bringing many of the major elements together under one roof.

The model is unique in that each woman has maintained her own business identity, but will also operate under the new group name. By working together, the four will share their space, resources, and referrals - strengthening each business, and providing better service to the consumer.

“I’ve restructured my own business model,” states Ms. Mullen. “By concentrating on events rather than day-to-day arranging, I can be more focused in my own marketing efforts, while also having the ability to help my partners develop their businesses.”

Although committed to assisting each other through referrals and advice, the four also acknowledge there will be a necessity at times for each of them to work with a competitor to one of the other women. “We have an understanding,” commented Ms. Matters, “that this is a non-exclusive arrangement. We’re each responsible for making choices that benefit our own clients and business, as well as the group.”

Events, especially weddings, have become more complex and expensive, especially over the last 10 years. By bringing several of the key elements together under one roof, circle•the•date will be able to simplify the process, as well as help prevent extra expenses resulting from miscommunication between vendors.
