L. Michelle Coats Comment by L. Michelle Coats 15 hours ago

Lavanda Michelle Coats developed her passion for planning parties when she planned her “Sweet Sixteen” birthday party over 14 years ago, in Chicago, Illinois. After the parties guest and their parents were amazed at the decor and asked for her assistant planning their party. Her career continued during college life at Northern Illinois University. She served on many students bodies were she planned fundraisers and meetings. Her practice with Ken and Barbie paid off when she was given the task of planning her best friend wedding at the age of 21. Which was a huge success and gave her the opportunity to developed strong relationships with the local vendors. After coordinating dozens of ceremonies she saw the need for an independent company in Northern Illinois to provide not just the "day of" ceremony coordination, but also assist individuals with planning their wedding and/or event from beginning to end. Her vision came to fruition in February 2008 with the beginning of Elite Events Wedding and Event Planning. Now conveniently located in Rockford, provides a serene and comfortable atmosphere where you can visit in various locations including your home or business for a consultation, work with coordinators to determine your budget, create your theme, and learn about the different vendors in Northern Illinois.
The goal of Elite Events is to enable you to have the opportunity for a unique and fulfilling event planning experience, so you can appreciate the perfect and lovely event you only dreamed of having, without the stresses that can arise from having to plan it all on your own. Since opening, we've booked dozens of special and corporate events for the 2008 season and have already begun planning for brides with wedding dates in 2008 and 2009! While we have been extremely happy with the number of weddings booked to date, we've made the decision to take on only a select number of weddings per year, ensuring that you get the full attention you deserve by choosing Elite Events. With Elite Events, we've created a single source for planning your special event from start to finish. We look forward to helping you design your dreams! Please call today for a free (815-703-1519) consultation and budget analysis.Lavanda Michelle Coats, Owner and proud member of the Association of Bridal Consultants.

The conception of Elite Events

When I was 13 I saw this quote "Choose a job you love and you will never work a day in your life! - Confucius," and it changed my life. A week later I went to work with my sister and saw the most beautiful wedding. I was on a mission I used everything I could find to plan a wedding for Ken & Barbie. I got in trouble for taking the best flowers from my mom vast; nothing was to good my client. That’s when my crush with event coordination started. I asked him out at 16 and it was the sweetest date ever. Event planning is my first love! Our courtship lasted seventeen great years and we just got married (for better or worst). We’re expecting our first child Elite Events.

J. Taylor Comment by J. Taylor 1 day ago
The majority of Americans struggle with credit at some point in their lives. For some it is because they weren't taught how to manage their credit, and so they have made mistakes and unwise decisions. For others, tragedy struck with the fury of a hurricane, and circumstances beyond their control dashed their finances and credit to pieces.

Many have been horrified to find they’ve had to pay over, and over, and over again for their past circumstances. The importance of having good credit cannot be overstated. It affects whether or not you can buy a home of your own, and what interest rate you pay when applying for any type of loan--auto, mortgage, even credit cards. Consequently, your credit is tied to your name and the value of having a good name is priceless.

If your credit is damaged, the question you have to ask is...How important is it to you to restore your credit, your respect, and your good name?

Very seldom can consumers themselves get the cooperation of creditors to remove negative information from their credit files. I am thrilled that there is a professional service available to perform this legal work for people who need it.

If you’re interested in more information or know others, I urge you to view the link below and reply back with any questions you may have.

I've just joined this group and I'm looking forward to getting to know more about all of you. I run a Debt Negotiation business which is very different from a Debt Consolidation business. I also run a Mortgage Savings Program where you can save tens of thousands on your mortgage interest. Then the last service we offer is our House Payment Rescue Program for those that are trying to save their homes from foreclosures. Please feel free to look at my site and ask me any questions you'd like.
