Options

Customizing Your Presentation Menu
Because the tiniest detail of your special event is critically important to Valentina, we have created two options in menu format presentations. The Standard Special Event Menu displays menu selections on standard paper and is complimentary. The Custom Special Event Menu is specially created for YOUR special occasion. It is tailored to your specifications and features the date, the name of the honorees and is printed on your choice of premium grade specialty bond. A keepsake menu copy is presented to the honoree and host. The Custom Menu beautifully captures the personal essence of your special event. Passed through production costs of the Custom Menu is a flat charge of $20.00. Samples, paper choices, and menu specification forms are included in the Special Event Planning packet you will receive from our event producer. Your menu, in whatever option you choose, will feature only your chosen menu selections.

Personalized Professionally Prepared Speeches, Remarks & Toasts
The latest trends in professionally planned events include a professionally prepared toast. For a fee from $60 to $150, contracted writers will render a general, generic statement of best wishes to take the pressure off the host(s). (And ensure the Honoree the promise of brief and eloquent words that will not embarrass or inspire yawns from the guests.) At Valentina, we thought this was a little impersonal. But after sitting through a multitude of embarrassing moments, we thought we might include the Prepared Toast Service after all. But we thought we'd do one better. We eliminated the impersonal aspect.

Our promotional writer will personally meet with you, and/or the person who will be making the public remarks. It will be an interesting meeting because we will want to talk about You. We'll want to know how you you came to know each other. Are there funny stories you'd like to share? Special moments or sentiments? We'll take note of anything you might like mentioned, or explore your favorite philosophers who might lend an inspiring quote. Is there an especially meaningful biblical verses or a favorite poem? Don't worry if you draw a blank, that's what we're here for. From there, we will craft an eloquent and beautiful articulated custom toast that reflects your special relationship, the mood of your event and the style of the person who will be speaking. No two toasts will ever be alike. If you wish, Valentina Owner Domenico Grillo would be delighted to perform the Champagne Toast to make the night extra special. The Italian accent is a nice touch and Domenico is always impressive in a suit. If you or your Toasters need us, we're here. $125 for each personalized toast. Who ever is paying the tab must approve the final copy. Can be prepared on small note cards for no extra charge.

Invitations & Announcements
Short on time? Penmanship not your strong suit? Valentina can help. A professional calligraphy artist can address the invitations and announcements you provide. Reasonably priced on detail, volume and postage. Our promotional team can compose a computer generated, beautifully customized announcement to your specifications and printed on quality bond with matching envelopes of your choosing. We provide the options and handle the legwork. All you have to do is guide and choose. Priced according to detail, paper selection cost, postage and volume.
